US have come a long way to be recognized as one of the football/soccer playing nations in a short time. ??????????????????????????????????? r u kidding or r u out of ur mind bro. is US recognized as fotballing nation in the world? i dont think so, may b it is recognized as fotballing nation in US only llol hey remeber they recently played with argentinas'S B-TEAM in US. AND still they lost with them by 2-1. losing to a b-team and that also in their home ground, well i dont see any reason for being proud of US's ranking. i bet they wont even make to quaterfinals in this world cup.
