we've got the 5th ranked soccer team in the world?!?!?

Is anybody aware of this? How and when did that happen? The freakin' United States SOCCER (not football) team is ranked above sometime global monsters like Argentina and Italy?

Wow. If we win this thing--or make it to the semi-finals even, will anybody pay attention? Maybe. Apparently our World Cup hosting foray 10 years ago did some good.

I'll be on an airplane tomorrow, but I think I'm going to watch this US-Czech Rep. game....
