FIFA sets World Cup draw pots, USA placed with Asia/Oceania, Dutch seeded over French

"I don't want the USA to go into this World Cup worrying about who they have to play. Whether it's Brazil or New Zealand, they should step on the field knowing they can win and want to win at any cost. Without this mentality there will be no growth from the 3 and out performances of our past.
Come on US."

Exactly!

The U.S. can beat any team on any given day. Seriously. It's which teams show up that count. I'm not worried.

Who would you like to see the USA draw?
The World Cup draw is just three days away, meaning we are just three days away from knowing which three nations the United States will be matched up against next summer. While most U.S. fans will be hoping for as easy a draw as possible, I know there must be a few of you who are hoping for a ...

Honestly, who cares about the crowd count? SSFC can boast attendance figures all they want to hide their inadequacies on the field. All that matters is which team takes home the trophy. Eat it Sounders.

Quite possibly the best passive-aggressive note EVER
"By mid-July, Donovan felt he needed to say something to Beckham about it, but it was a sign of their increasingly distant relationship that he did so by text message. I know you're frustrated and I know you're trying, Donovan wrote, but we need you farther up the field where you're more dangerous. You're the best player out there and you need the ball, but it doesn't help us achieve anything if you're doing other people's jobs."
