Any of the #1 seeds would be a tough draw (except for the host nation). That is why they are the seeded teams. Would Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Italy, or The Netherlands be any easier? I don't think so. In fact, I think the US got an easy group with Slovenia and Algeria rounding out the group.


I'm thrilled with how the US fared. Of the seeded teams, I think they match up well with England.

US got about as good a draw as they could expect. Draw vs England in the opener and they should go through to next round. Even a loss still leaves them with two winnable matches.

Exactly.
