Okay, so it's their B-team. However, the chances are, that with the A-team, the USA Men's Soccer Team would've lost to Argentina 4-1 anyway. But honestly, this is exactly what I mean about the US not being dominant. England's B team beat the US A-team in a friendly in August 2005, so it's definitely possible for the US to do the same. What I saw was an utter disgrace, to think that could possibly be the A-team soon.
Notice that the US will beat the powderpuff teams like Guatemala, Cuba, and Haiti, and boost up the hype that they are really good. But once they face anyone in South America or Europe, they falter. The one thing they have to improve, is that they must stop playing all of their friendly matches at home! The big test is when they go to Sweden in September, to prove that they can beat the better teams outside of the USA.
The final thing that the US has to do, is stop parading around one player. Landon Donovan is not that great. Sure, he's got 34 goals, and a hat trick against Ecuador, but most of his goals come against weak teams. Once he goes to Europe, he does a faster disappearing act than Spalding Gray. Soccer is a sport, in which you can't rely on one player to carry your team. Soccer teams always have multiple stars to showcase, the US only chooses one.
I think the US will have to stop playing charades, and show the world what they are really made of.
