In response to MikeL2, I was pleasantly surprised at the draw. I hope both the UK and USA go through, but I would prefer if you draw Germany in the round of 16. In the USA's brief recent WC history we drew host Italy and the Czechs in 1990. We were hosts in 1994, but still drew Colombia-one of the pre -tournament favorites. In 1998 we got Germany and Yugoslavia.In 2002 we drew host S.Koreans as well as another favorite Portugal.In 2006 we once again drew Italy and the Czechs.Perhaps you can see why I was a bit dubious about the selection process. As far as the bad referee decisions , while it is a common and admiitedly slanted view , if you had seen some of the WC qualifiers in Central America you might understand my point of view. I figure if you like soccer and presumably folk music you are an OK person. Best of luck.
