USA will play England on June 12th, 2010 for their first game in the World Cup!

USA's group: England, Algeria, and Slovenia

I like it  ;)

Finally! A fortunate draw!
Group G looks to be the Group of Death with Brazil, Ivory Coast, and Portugal.

This also means that the US could face Mexico or France from Group A in the first round of the knock out stage.

Edit:  Misread the bracket.  It will probably be Germany or Serbia in the Knock-Outs.

I guess group G is the group of death this year.  Brazil, Portugal, and the Ivory Coast should make it pretty interesting.
