USMNT: The March to Brazil - World Cup 2014

Can you believe it's already time to start the qualification process for another World Cup?

The United States will play a series of tune-up matches before qualifying begins. The first friendly will be this Saturday (May 26th) versus Scotland.

NBC Sports. It's Direct TV 603 if you have that.

They have done a great job with their MLS coverage so far this year.

I hope that Dempsey, Altidore, Gomez and Wondo can keep up their club form. All of those guys have been really scoring.

Re: USMNT: The March to Brazil - World Cup 2014

Looking at the groups for the semifinal round, I see the US and Jamaica progressing to the Hex out of Group A, Mexico and Costa Rica advancing from Group B, and the spots from Group C being up for grabs between Honduras, Panama, and Canada.

Re: USMNT: The March to Brazil - World Cup 2014

I thought about going tomorrow night. It's been really hot and humid this week (a little early for that), but tomorrow night is supposed to rain pretty good, so it will be a wet one.

Re: USMNT: The March to Brazil - World Cup 2014

If you've never been to a USMNT match (not sure about you specifically, MWM) I could not recommend it more.

I haven't missed a World Cup qualifier in Columbus in the last 3 cycles...

My favorite is when they schedule Mexico in Columbus in the winter/cold months. Columbus is probably the only site in the entire United States where we can actually schedule a match and have a true home field advantage versus Mexico.

I'd say that's true. I went to the Gold Cup Final at the Rose Bowl. I think I would have been safer walking through the streets of Juarez with a pound of cocaine strapped to my chest.

I'm working on getting some friends to go. It's also the weekend I sell beer for the local Oktoberfest, but I'm going to see if I can get scheduled for one of the other days.

Do you think they'll do it again when the US meets them in the Hex? You know Mexico likes to schedule their home games at Azteca during the day in the middle of summer so that the US has to deal with heat AND altitude.

2-0 US in the 13th minute. Donovan scored the first. Bradley with a beauty for the second.

Video game goal from Bradley... doubt he could hit it that perfectly again in a 100 tries.
