Italy Important Opponent For USA
They know Claudio Reyna and DaMarcus Beasley and that's about it. Trying to stave off elimination, the Americans take the field Saturday against the famous Azzurri, a team stocked with many of the sport's richest and splashiest stars.
Following their quarterfinal finish four years ago, the Americans hoped to become contenders in the world's game. Another loss and surely fans will wonder whether the team has regressed to the bad, old days of 1998, when the United States finished dead last in the 32-nation field.
There is a needle-slim chance the team could advance with three points, but it would require a rout of Ghana by the Americans and an almost improbable combination of results from the rest of the group.
