LOL actually Canada is 60th and USA is 21st. Argentina is #1 so USA didn't do so bad.

It is really frustrating to watch USA soccer on a regular basis. They come out play an exceptional match against teams like Argentina (or the tie against Italy in the World Cup a couple of years ago) and then lay eggs against England. It is really tough. They have some talent, but need to find some sort of consistency.

I agree. Hey does that sound like a similar team I cheer for?

I think it's tough for the US because they only play difficult competitve games in the actual finals of tournaments. European, African and South American teams have to play through tough groups just to qualify. It also helps if the main players in the team are playing in the European leagues as that is the only way to gain experience against the worlds best players.
