Good question....
Look, I understand about strategy and all that. The point is, that unless you have some good quality players that can play anywhere in the world and a coach that actually <i>uses</i> strategy, you won't win. Tell me all you want about Brian Mcbride being MVP of Fulham. My response.. AND?? Fulham is horrible. Look at the other teams doing well.. Spain for instance. They have more players playing in the premiership now. Guess what? Their team is alot better in the WC. I just think that until the US gets players that can play in the Premiership or other great leagues (because MLS is just horrible) they won't do anything.
The past performances will always be on their heads because <b>they were ranked 5th in the world and touted as being a strong team</b> Not only that but some idiot on ESPN said Keller was the top keeper in the world. What the hell is he smoking? I need some of that shit.
I'm an American. I love the beauty and simplicity of Football. (yes, it's football damnit, at least get the name right--maybe you'll play better)
However, I will not cheer for the US team because I find them severly lacking in passion. Give me a US team with passion and fire and I will support them win or loose. (except for when they play England)
