A new World Cup automatically makes us think of previous ones. The World Cup 2010 schedule, determined by the World Cup 2010 draw, will mean life or death to many teams. The 1998 FIFA World Cup in France witnessed the United States national soccer team knocked out in the first round, finishing last out of all 32 countries present. The 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan/Korea saw the American team go all the way to the quarter-finals, where they played magnificently against Germany in a 1-0 defeat. It was to be a year or three before the trickle of America's truest talent made its way to Europe, in the form of Claudio Reyna, Brian McBride, Tim Howard and others. There's no question that World Cup 2010 qualification means everything to a budding player with that special gift.
The World Cup in Germany in 2006 saw a shock start by the USA, when they were unexpectedly smacked 3-0 by the Czech Republic. Their dream of continuing where they left off in 2002 was shattered overnight. A couple more disappointing results, a gallant 1-1 draw with Italy and a tempestuous 2-1 defeat to Ghana, saw the American national team go tumbling out at the first obstacle once again. The South African World Cup in 2010 will prove to be something of an acid test for both the US national team and American soccer in general.
