Not just friendlies, of course, but the results of the various confederation games affect this too. The way it is weighted meens that you get the same points for defeating Bermuda as you do for beating Brazil.
The US had the misfortune to come up against a very talented outfit yesterday. Some of your players are great, Eddie Johnstone and Landon Donovan have got great potential. I am a fan of Reyna as he is, after all, a former Hun, but - please - take Kasey Keller out back and put the poor old guy out of his misery. Never been a fan of his and there
must be a better goalie out there somewhere.
Mind you, Superman wasn't going to save Rosisky's goal. Superb.
