Ugh, the US got put in a brutal group. Plus, if we manage to qualify for the next round but only finish second in the group, we will get to face, most likely, Brazil. Not good.

England appears to have an early cakewalk, so I guess I can revel in their success. Ahh, England: the last refuge of American soccer fans.

I had high hopes for the US this time (not championship hopes- I am a realist), but the draw is just too harsh.

Who will win the cup? I'd love to see opinions.
