Unfortunate Irony (World Cup Fans Only)

This unintentionally droll ad featuring the allegedly 5th-ranked USA soccer team appeared on several major sports websites today. Given the football clinic put on at the Americans' expense on Monday, USA coach Bruce Arena is reported to have replied "Is it in us?!? Yeah, I'd say the Czechs shoved it up there about 3 goals deep. It's even money that our back line is still gonna be walking funny come Saturday."

Prediction v. Italy: The Azzurri post a 1-0 result in a game that's not nearly as close as it looks. Beasley is moved back to his correct side of the field without much impact. Kasey Keller makes 2 dazzling saves and gets a post ball to keep it close.
