The general consensus in the early reaction to USA’s Group C draw is that the Americans received a favorable road to advance to the Round of 16. And USA coach Bob Bradley agrees.
U.S. Coach: ‘Very Fair Chance To Go Through To The Next Round’
“It’s a great way to start. It’s certainly a big challenge, but that’s what we’re there for. It will be a very special start to the tournament for us playing England – a team we know very well. We can be dangerous against very good teams. We feel that this is a group that gives us a very fair chance to get through to the next round.”
Even the British seem nervous, with former England manager Terry Venables admitting that the U.S. could be a “banana skin.”
"It's a tough game because they will be fit, organised and while they won't outplay us, they could out-sprint us,'' he said on Sky Sports News. "It could be a difficult game for us."
David Beckham then added his boring two cents. “It is a very interesting group. They are all hard games and it’s very exciting to be a part of it.”
Thanks for coming out, Becks.
