If the U.S. is really ready to ascend to the lofty ranks it aspires to join, it will have to keep from getting pasted this weekend. It will also have to improve upon the first-round performance in France ‘98. Portugal may well be the class of the tournament, and Poland and South Korea should both be extremely tough.
But if the National team plays with the same attacking brio it displayed Sunday at RFK, this country will be a little further down the road to one day — and possibly sooner than many realize — really contending for the World Cup championship.
