Not a big soccer fan, but the US got a very good draw out of that.

I'm super stoked with that draw we got, considering how bad it could have been (Portugal/France instead of Slovenia and Ghana/Ivory Coast instead of Algeria). It will be a tremendous failure if we don't advance out of this group.

Group G is definitely the Group of Death, with Brazil, Ivory Coast, and Portugal along with world-haters North Korea. There's a decent chance Brazil might not advance out of that.

Team America and England are the two teams I follow at the international level, so this draw is about as perfect as it could have gotten for me. I plan on being in England in June, so now I have to make sure I'm there for the opening match between the USA and them so I can represent the Stars & Stripes across the pond! I cannot wait!!!!
