By now, you know who the United States will be playing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but it is time to question how the Americans will play in Brazil come June. Against three very good attacking sides, the American defense must be stronger than ever, but strong is not an adjective that many would use to describe the back four of the Yanks.

Every American fan’s worst nightmare was imagined on Friday as the United States men’s national team drew Germany, Ghana and Portugal in Group G at the World Cup draw in Bahia, Brazil.

Let’s be brutally honest: The 0-0 draw that the United States recorded with Scotland was a drab affair that delighted no one in either camp. For the United States, the draw was even more disappointing because they had beaten the Scots on their home soil in May 2012 by a 5-1 margin. Just like every horrific showing by the Yanks in the Jurgen Klinsmann era, an issue that was on the...

Now that qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is an afterthought for the United States men’s national team, their full focus is set on making a lasting impact next summer in South America. One of the main keys to American success in Brazil will be the play of forward Jozy Altidore, who in the last year has cemented himself as the primary goalscorer for the Yanks at the international...

Klinsmann has the American soccer-viewing public believing that this is the team that can bring joy and ecstasy to the nation during the 2014 FIFA World Cup instead of the usual disappointment and heartbreak. However, United States fans were thrown for...
