Compared to our other options? Brazil, France, Italy? At least we've got some xperience against the Germans, not to mention a few Nats playing in Germany.

And likewise, they have experience against us.

Granted, I'd rather face them then Brazil, but France and Italy are both a bit overrated, I think, and Spain, Mexico, and England would all be better matchups for us, in my opinion, once the "home field advantage" is considered.

Spain yes, I said so in my original post. We can't face Mexico (No two teams from the same confederation in the same group, except 2 European teams are allowed). England - USA might be as big as England - Germany or England - France would be, and I don't want to face an England team that focused on beating us. Imagine what hell they would take back home if they lost to the colonies?

Didn't Mexico come back from 0-2 to tie it up against Holland in '98, scoring the final goal in injury time to advance to the 2nd round?
