World Cup 2006

It's World Cup time. Go USA!!!!!

The U.S. is in its fifth consecutive World Cup, and the expectations placed upon this squad have evolved greatly from the nonexistent ones for a team of college stars and players on low-level club teams that stunningly qualified in 1990.

The Americans enter this World Cup confident in their abilities to compete - and defeat - the best teams in the world, led by striker Landon Donovan, who has readily accepted the role as his team's offensive focal point.

But the Americans face a stern challenge in simply getting the opportunity to reach the knockout round as they open play Monday in Group E against the Czech Republic in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. For everything on the World Cup
