The US definitely lucked out by drawing both Algeria and Slovenia. Though I have a feeling both will still be much tougher than people seem to want to believe.
Still, this draw does seem to leave a wide open path for both England and Italy. Group G looks like loads of fun, while Group A seems the most intriguing.
Whose Axe?
OUR AXE!
Looking forward to England vs USA
Seems like Algeria and Slovenia have a chance to play spoiler thought, I wouldn’t sleep on them.
Well I don't much about these guys but Go USA
28---7 2nd & 11 Barkley to Williams, so please Bru-Babes call time out again.

Never been so excited for the World Cup...
In my life. After the beating we took in ‘06, I hope this team will redeem itself. I’m definitely looking forward to it.
I like their chances. The English press is already writing about how England can get through the first round without too much trouble, but we’ll see. My sense is that when Bradley’s tactics work, they’re effective against teams like Algeria and Slovenia, and who knows? The US team will have a nice mix of players coming off the European season and players just having warmed up to the MLS season, they might have the fitness edge to give England a shock.
Wouldn’t bet the farm on it though.
Very Excited
Best draw ever? England vs US will be epic.
I have a brother in-law from South Africa and am now thinking of going. Anyone else?
