I'm speechless - can't think of anything to say. Off
to watch USA v Czech Republic with a new note of
interest.
Generally it's recognized that the US's ranking is inflated by its
position in the relatively weak CONCACAF group, which has inflated
the points it receives. Like any formula for ranking, it relies on
"all other things being equal", and in this case, it just ain't so.
But they are still an impressive team, and I'm hoping that they can
take either Czech Republic or Italy in order to advance.
