[/quote]How great can USA soccer be when finishing with a losing record, with a win against mighty Egypt to boost the record, is considered a great tournament?[/quote]
Well, lets also consider who the US lost to in the tournament. They lost to Italy and Brazil. So thats 2 losses against 2 of the best teams in the world. Most any soccer powerhouse in the world could have ended with that same result.
Mighty Egypt indeed. Just ask the Italians.
Granted, the US looked terrible early in the tournament and got through to the second round with a bit of luck. But they have made the most of this luck and turned in 2 pretty solid games. Good for them.
