Agreed. I think we've got a 50/50 of getting out of our group....England should be a lock, and it's between us and Slovenia. Slovenia would be the odds on fav, but it wouldn't be a total shock to see the US advance. We had a great showing in 2002 (should have beaten the eventual champs, Germany). 2006 was...meh. Donovan is a legit international player. The US defense is terrible and will cost them, but they should score.
