I saw the results of the draw on Fox Soccer Report this A.M. Group B is the "group of death", but we've not been given an easy draw. We know about Argentina's might, but Paraguay is 30th and Colombia is 31st in the latest FIFA rankings, just behind U.S. at #28 (BTW, U.S. at #4 was ridiculous, but the free fall of the last few rankings based on nothing has been quite ridiculous, too). Arguably, our group is just as tough (Mexico, for instance, was #19 in the latest poll, yet I think the U.S. is better).

In any case, this will be a good competition for the U.S. to measure their development vs. the other sides in South America. I think it's an honor to have been given the invitation, too.
