Hmmm... good luck! Saying that, strange things are happening this year, not least Portugal, France and Argentina all struggling and looking like they'll have to go into the playoffs for a chance of being in the World Cup Finals.
Yeah, I was surprised at how poorly they have been performing. They are automatically in if they beat Costa Rica on October 10th, though. A couple of big problems is Jay Demerit and Oguchi Onyewu (main center backs) have been hurt. Bradley needs to work on his team's cohesion, and shouldn't be drawing certain people from the MLS like Holden and Bornstein. The simply do not have the experience, but I could see them being farmed for 2014.
Tim Howard also needs to be more confident; but Brad Guzan is a great ace to have in the hole in case something were to happen.

Got pain medication for my ankle and an air-splint so I'm not in so much pain anymore. Plus it's the weekend!
That's why Guzan is just waiting to jump up. I think Howard needs to stop letting shit get to him, and has to understand that if you make any sort of mistake in the EPL you're going to pay for it.
