The worlds biggest stage is almost here! the opening ceremony will begin june 11, 2010. the world cup happens every four years and brings together the worlds best players, teams, and of coarse fans. Team USA never really having any sucsess in the world cup in past years, anxiously waiting to overcome the odds and make it farther then four years ago in Germany. soccer still lacks superier support in america but support risies every year. The American national team is over looked and lookd down on by the rest of the world. That being said USA had a chance to turn some heads during the Confederations cup last year. They did just that knocking off number one Spain, however placing second due to a tough loss to number two Brasil. Its a new year and a new U.S. national team. USA got a some what fortunate first round group with Algeria, Slovenia, and a top contending English national team. Only the top two teams make it out of their groups, but in the world cup no one is to over looked. This years tournament will be held in South Africa. A great oppertunity for South Africa's economy and for the U.S. national team to put America on the map of the soccer world.
