The vast majority of US opposition in friendlies over the past 10 or so seasons hasn't exactly been world-class.<BR/><BR/>Year-by-year (since 2004):<BR/><BR/>2006-Latvia, Venezuela, Morocco, Jamaica, Germany, Poland, Guatemala, Japan, Norway, Canada.<BR/>With the exception of the Germany and Poland games, every single game was played on US soil and only Germany could be viewed as a "tough game".<BR/><BR/>2005-Scotland, England, Honduras, Columbia. Home games all, except for Scotland. Only one "tough game" in there, as Scotland were rubbish in 2005.<BR/><BR/>2004-Poland, Honduras, Mexico, Poland, Haiti, Holland, Denmark. In Holland and in Poland are the only "tough games" there.<BR/><BR/>Trust me, the list goes on and on. Check http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/usamen2.html for a full list of US games and since 1994, I promise you, the opposition in friendlies hasn't been that good.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242014500010866186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6103306026039619483.post-42285485490966855792008-03-22T20:39:00.000-04:002008-03-22T20:39:00.000-04:00Actually the US played a number of tough games aga...Actually the US played a number of tough games against top 10 type nations under Sampson and Arena.
