And yet somehow they consistently lose once they leave concacaf, and often in concacaf. I love the fact that septics have a team and there is some interest in soccer down south, but they arn't close to beating the top ten on any kind of consistant level.
The FIFA rankings are way to kind to the US by the way, they rate them at 14, their real rank is about 20th.
