USA are no where near as good as some of the teams they are ranked better than.
They'll fail miserably at the World Cup next year!

7th best is the same as 1500th best. Once you get below #1, does it really matter?Comment

ughh Jackass, this wasn't the full team for either Scotland or the USA...ever hear of a friendly game where you plug in players to see who can earn a spot on the WC team?Comment

A squad of players is the best players in your country to play. Ok so neither teams played their best 11 but its still the best USA has to offer.Originally posted by swoopComment

You clearly do..why else would you make two or three posts in this thread?Originally posted by sickkittensComment

ok, so for example all National team players aren't available we have to put in only college players with ZERO national experience and we lost or tied you would say the #7 ranking wasn't valid?Originally posted by Ross
All of these friendly games don't mean a thing except to get looks at young players. Wait until next summer to make a judgementComment

Ross, I love you bro, but this statement is off the mark. What you have to realize is that they were missing a TON of starters.Originally posted by Ross
Landon Donovan, Claudio Reyna, Oguchi Onyewu, John O'Brien, Brian McBride, Frankie Hedjuk and Pablo Mastroeni. These are all possible starters for the US. You will not see many of the players who were on the field today. Some were earning their first caps. Kudos, to coach Bruce Arena for giving the yougin's a look.
This really shows the depth of the US squad. I guarantee, we will have a wonderful World Cup. Mark my words.

My whole point....Even with several players out the USA should be wiping the floor with Scotland. They didn't, they were bad.Originally posted by ThumblerAt least they will be there - unlike ScotlandComment

USA hardly played anyone who will even be playing in the World Cup. Its like saying the Indianapolis Colts are shitty because they lost their 2nd preseason game. Comments like that show a lack of sports knowledge.
Either way, no one gives a shit about soccer in the US. It is amazing that we are #7.Comment

The FIFA ranking suck. It doesn't give a true picture of the strength of the teams.
Look at the top 21
Brazil
Netherlands
Czech Republic
Argentina
France
Mexico
USA
Spain
England
Portugal
Turkey
Italy
Sweden
Denmark
Germany
Japan
Uruguay
Greece
Croatia
Costa Rica
Iran
Mexico, USA and Costa Rica in the top 20??? USA and Mexico 7 and 6.
All 3 teams would have a very hard time qualifiying if they had to play the European qualification.
Iran is a joke and they are ranked 21?
I am ready to bet that neither USA, Mexico or Costa Rica will make it to the quater finals at the world cup.Comment

You mean like the US did in 2002? Bowing out to Germany, although IMO deserved to win.Originally posted by Verbal Kint

Hmm, I lost money by backing the US. I usually dont bet on friendlies but I felt there was mileage in this.
On a side note, I once scored a great result by getting Morocco at 5/1 to beat Scotland in a World Cup game because British bookies were blinded by not taking johnny foreigner too seriously despite rankings and other indicators pointing to the result. Morocco trounced them 3-0 I believe and we had a good night out ;)Comment

It really isn't much of a boast. As has been pointed out the rankings are a long way from reality and neither team (especially the USA) fielded a full suad of top players.Ignorance is never bliss.

"USA

wtf? usa never won anything but they're above england / italy?
weird rankingsComment

US has Freddy Adu on the way though! Let's be honest here too... Americans generally (I'll give you basketball at a push) don't like sports where they might not be #1. Thus all their "World Series" involve... well, just America.Comment

I'd go for NBA games than this...Comment
