No one really cares about the FIFA ranking. I'm not saying the U.S. is on the same level as the top Euro teams and I'm not expecting them to be.

No. Top two in each group go to an eight team pool. Top four in that pool go to the WC, fifth place goes into playoff with Oceania's first place. I think.

No, if we finish in the top 2, we advance to the hex (6 teams). The top 3 there advance and the fourth-place team goes into a playoff against some other team from somewhere (I forget).

And Italy played awesome and tied against Spain in the EUROs.

















That means we could curb stomp Spain if we played them. BADASS

Actually it's with Oceania's only entrant, since they are only allotted .5 places at the WC.

ESPN said we'd face the 5th place CONMEBOL winner today during EUROS.

Pirlo is pretty shite.

Buffon was definitely never considered the best GK in the world.

Maggio, De Rossi, Matri are all crap.

I,m positive. We played well but Italy was far from full strength, but in our defense, we had a couple of key guys out also.

American Samoa
Cook Islands
Fiji
Kiribati
New Caledonia
New Zealand
Niue
Papua New Guinea
Samoa
Solomon Islands
Tahiti (French Polynesia)
Tonga
Tuvalu
Vanuatu

New Zealand didn't even make it to the Confed Cup...not saying they won't make it to the WC, but it's not a lock.
