The preliminary draw for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was made to great fanfare on Sunday and it was quite kind to the USA.
Bob Bradley’s charges will await the winner of the Bermuda/Dominica game, and the winner of that will enter one of three four-team groups. Assuming that is the US, likely opponents could be Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago and Guatemala.
The top two teams from each of the three groups will play off against each other in a six team group and the top three will go to the World Cup, with the fourth placed team playing off against a South American team for a spot in South Africa.
The United States has appeared in eight World Cup finals since the tournament began in 1930. Its best performance was reaching the quarter-finals in the 2002 World Cup in Japan/South Korea.
