Tim Borowski Trikots

After shocking the world with an amazing run to the final of the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2009, the USA Men's soccer team and its fans have a great deal to look forward to with such a young roster. A run to the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil is likely and here is the line-up to do it.

STARTERS

Landon Donovan. Left Midfield. Donovan will have just turned 32 before the start of the 2014 World Cup. The 2014 World Cup may be his last in a USA shirt, but he will be at the height of his abilities and captain the squad. Still in his physical prime and a veteran of 3 prior World Cups, Landon will be ready to lead the Stars and Stripes to at least a semi-final birth.

Tim Howard. Goalkeeper. Howard is a word class keeper and will just have turned 35 prior to the 2014 World Cup. The age of 35 is still in the prime of a goalkeeper's career and his continued regular starts in the excellent English Premiership for Everton will keep him at the top of his game. Howard will still be one of the nest players on the team.

Oguchi Onyewu.Central Defender. Onyewu will just turn 32 at the start of the 2014 World Cup and will be the veteran anchor of a tough back line. The athleticism and physicality will mesh with his then years of experience as a defender in Serie A. A prime candidate for Best XI at World Cup 2014, Onyewu will make a major mark.

Michael Bradley.Central Midfield. Bradley's continued all-around game and tireless running make him an essential starter in the central midfield. After consistently starting for the US team and gaining year of pro club experience, Bradley will be a smarter player and pick his moments for tacking to elude multiple yellow cards.

Clint Dempsey. Right Midfield. Although he will be 31 years old, Clint still will be a starter due to his technical skills, flair, and ability to score. At 2014, Dempsey may slot into different positions along the midfield and front line.

Maurice Edu.Right Back. Due to an excess of midfield players, Edu will be moved to right back at some point in the World Cup qualifying cycle and excel. His speed, athleticism, poise, touch, and defensive skills make for a great fit at left back. His experience at World Cup 2010 and importance at his club team Rangers will enable him to shine during World Cup 2014 at the prime age of 28.

Jonathan Spector. Left Back. At the age of 28, Spector will be in his prime and a veteran of many starts for the USA team. His great touch, outstanding defensive work, and crossing ability will be integral parts to the team.

Omar Gonzalez.Central Defender. A huge defender at 6 feet 4 inches, Gonzalez will pair with Onyewu to make one of the best and most intimidating central defense pairings at the 2014 World Cup. Omar will only be 24 during the tournament and will continue his excellent play from past tournaments such as the FIFA U-17 World Cup and Pan American U-20 Games.

Jozy Altidore.Forward. A handful to mark at 20 years old, Jozy will be a beast at 25 during the World Cup with his great strength, speed, and scoring ability. His performance at the FIFA Confederations Cup 2009 made the world take notice and World Cup 2104 will be his breakout party.

Charlie Davies. Forward. Davies will still have speed beyond anyone else on the roster at 28 years old. After pairing with Altidore for the preceding 5 years, Davies will know all of the precise cutting runs to make against defenses at the World Cup in 2014.

Jose Torres.Central Midfield. A great talent and star for Pachuca in the top Mexican league, Torres will shine in World Cup 2014 at the age of 25. Although he had issues fitting into Bob Bradley's system while breaking into the team in 2009, Torres touch and technical skills will flourish in the middle of the pitch for the USA in 2014.

SUBS

Ricardo Clark. Central Midfield. Clark could start in place of Torres or Bradley in central midfield depending on the opposing team and tactics. His positioning, work rate, and experience will allow him to be a major part of the USA's run in 2014.

Benny Feilhaber. Midfield. As noted in 2009, Benny seems to really play well of the bench and gives the team a technical lift when he comes in. Very versatile, Benny could start or sub in at any of the midfield positions.

Marvell Wynne. Defender. An explosive athlete, Wynne will be prepared to fill in at any spot on the defensive line. At the age of 28, Wynne will still be in his prime and add a different dimension to the defense if inserted into the game.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup is just around the corner. This prestigious event starts on June 11th with the 32 qualifying teams divided up into eight different groups. The host country this year is South Africa. If you want to bet on the World Cup, Sportsbook.com has the odds listed on each team’s chances of winning. This book is offering a $100 sign-up bonus to our readers. Let’s take a look at the odds for each team in each group below, along with their world ranking according to FIFA.

Group A:

Tenth-ranked France (+1800) is the favorite in this group. They are followed by No. 17 Mexico (+8000) and No. 18 Uruguay (+10000) who will be in a battle to advance to the second round. Closing out this group is the sleeper and host country South Africa (+12,500) who are ranked No. 90 in the world.

Group B:

This is a very tough group featuring three teams in the Top-20. No. 7 Argentina (+750) is certainly expected to advance. No. 12 Greece (+15000) is somewhat of a value bet in comparison to where they stand in the world ranking. No. 19 Nigeria (+10000) and No. 47 South Korea (+20000) round out this group.

Group C:

No. 8 England (+600) appears to have one of the easier draws, which will help them make a run at their first World Cup title in team history. No. 14 United States (+6600) cannot complain about this draw either as they will try to advance with England over No. 23 Slovenia (+20000) and No. 31 Algeria (+40000).

Group D:

No. 6 Germany (+1200) heads a strong group here. They are followed by No. 16 Serbia (+6600) and No. 20 Australia (+12500). No. 32 Ghana (+6600) appears to be a bit overvalued in comparison to where they rank according to FIFA.

Group E:

One of the pre-tournament favorites, No. 4 The Netherlands (+1100), should be able to get by to the next round. The will face stiff tests from No. 19 Cameroon (+10000) and No. 32 Denmark (+10000). Also in this group is No. 45 Japan (+25000).

Group F:

No. 5 Italy (+1200) caught a big break with their group stage. They won’t have competition from any team inside the Top-30 in the world rankings. Their competition will be No. 30 Paraguay (+8000), No. 38 Slovakia (+20000) and No. 78 New Zealand (+200000). New Zealand is the biggest underdog in the field.

Group G:

Despite being the No. 1 ranked team according to the FIFA rankings, Brazil (+500) is listed behind Spain according to Sportsbook.com as to which team will win. The Brazilians got a tough draw considering No. 3 Portugal (+2800) is in their group, and this is the only group with two teams ranked in the top-10. But these two teams should have no problem advancing against No. 27 Ivory Coast (+3300) and No. 106 North Korea (+100000).

Group H:

There is some quality competition in this group, led by No. 2 Spain (+400) who is the pre-tournament favorite. No. 15 Chile (+6600) and No. 26 Switzerland (+2000) are certainly no pushovers. Rounding out this group is No. 40 Honduras (+50000).

In July of 2008 more than 100,000 Americans across the nation became homeless because of foreclosure. This trend is expected to continue as more than 10 million people and families lose their homes as the foreclosures fueling the failing financial instituions who created the mess in the first place lose all their equity and go bankrupt!

“We are witnessing the biggest collapse in the financial markets in the history of the world and it was all triggered by the dwindling dominos spiraling out of control as the game of monopoly that has been played by bankers and lawyers for the past 200 years in America is broken apart by the power of the people to regulate the value of their own money”, says The Penny King, a man who has been telling people for almost two decades to stay out of debt and save their pennies!

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are only the two latest casualities in the global mortgage morass created by the bankers and lawywers to line their pockets.

In an article written by Alex S. Gabor and published on April 17th of 2007, Washington Mutual was described as a criminal organization in deep trouble.

In June of 2006, Alex S. Gabor successfully predicted the collapse of Fannie Mae in an article titled AMERICA'S FANNIE HAS BEEN SPANKED-BUT ITS' NAME IS MUDD!

In that article he reveals reasons behind his desire to connect to George Soros, predicts the collapse of the second largest financial institution in America in his seventh installment of “Soros and Me!”, independently syndicated international political, business and lifestyles column.

He is now predicting that by 2010, more than 1,000 banks and other financial institutions in America will have failed, gone out of business, or forced into mergers like the recent shotgun weddings between Bank of America and Countrywide Financial, and JP Morgan Chase and Bear Stearns.

The entire banking industry has become nothing more than a maze of fraud, deception and cloak and dagger games of musical assets. No one is really singing the truth because if you yelled fire, everyone would want to get out of the industry all at once with no place to go and no place to sit down and rest assured.

Government actions have done little to quell investor unrest over the future of Washington Mutual (WM: 2.09 -9.91%), the nation's largest thrift.

Share prices fell for the third straight day despite a move last Monday to replace long-time CEO Kerry Killinger with a company outsider, and were down more than 20 percent yesterday.

Bottom line: investors are fleeing firms with Foreclosure Fires Fueling Failing Financials and signficant mortgage exposure and a likely need to raise capital.

Beyond replacing Killinger, WM disclosed earlier this week that it had entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with its chief regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, over its risk management and capital management practices.

WaMu lost $3.33 billion in the second quarter, as it significantly hiked its loan loss reserves by $3.74 billion to $8.46 billion.

The bank has remained steadfast in its assertion that it will not seek to raise additional capital, although it's pretty clear investors no longer buy the company line. Lies put out by financial institutions become very apparent when the bitter truth that is available becomes known.

Out of WaMu's $231.1 billion loan portfolio, it's $52.9 billion in option ARMs and another $62.5 billion in home equity loans and lines of credit that are drawing the most attention from analysts and investors. Total nonperforming assets at the Seattle-based bank jumped to $11.2 billion at the end of the second quarter, up 22 percent from the first quarter and nearly three times the NPAs recorded one year earlier.

“There are rumors of potential suitors walking away,” Tim Backshall, chief analyst at Credit Derivatives Research, told Reuters, referring to new Financial Accounting Standards Board rule that industry experts say will significantly curtail M&A activity.

Bloomberg first reported on the new FASB rules and their impact on both WaMu and Cleveland-based National City Corp. (NCC: 4.83 +0.84%), suggesting that the new rule will force “acquirers to compute a target's assets at market prices instead of deriving values from measures including the purchase price.” See full Bloomberg story.

As a result CDS spreads on WaMu have soared, with Reuters reporting Wednesday that spreads hit an all time high, as investors are betting on imminent trouble for the bank.

Colin Barr at Fortune mused Wednesday that “it's starting to look like the furious trading in WaMu, Wachovia and Lehman may not let up until another shoe – whether a successful capital raise or something less salutary – drops.”

Reflecting the trouble facing WaMu, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Tuesday said it had put the thrift on a negative outlook for a likely ratings downgrade in the next 60 days. “The outlook revision reflects the increasingly challenging housing and mortgage markets and their impact on WAMU's core mortgage franchise,” said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Victoria Wagner.

Downey Savings is another mess waiting to completely fall apart.

Troubles are continuing to mount at the Newport Beach, Calif.-baed Downey Financial Corp. (DSL: 1.47 -9.26%), with the Office of Thrift Supervision issuing a cease-and-desist order that represents regulators' latest attempt to put the screws to the troubled option ARM specialist.

A press release put out by the bank Friday didn't refer to the order, but a series of filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission included the action by regulators, who had deemed that Downey had engaged in “unsafe and unsound practices.”

According to the Penny King, “both Washington Mutual and Downey should be shut down and seized by the government and merged into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under a new non profit org headed up by non industry types.”

Until the mentality in Washington D.C. changes, the Foreclosure Fires Fueling Failing Financials will not end until every bank in the nation trades as a penny stock. Fannie, Freddie, Wamu and Downey are already there!

In a little more than three weeks, 32 teams will converge on South Africa with one goal in mind, winning the World Cup.  Now, seriously, only about a half dozen countries have a chance to grab the trophy, but the hope is out there for teams to pull the upset…surprise the World.

The USA squad has been hit by some serious injuries leading up to the World Cup, most devastating, the injuries Charlie Davies suffered in an automobile accident, where a young lady was killed. Davies, a Boston College product, worked tirelessly to get ready for the Men's National Team training camp, but he did not make Coach Bob Bradley's roster as practices begin shortly.

Landon Donovan, who had the chance to play at the highest level of the game, in England this year, is looking forward to making amends for a terrible World Cup in 2006. 

The US play their first game Saturday, June 12, versus England.  US soccer fans began making their plans for viewing parties for this one when the World Cup draw was held months ago.

The first two weeks of the event, there are games every day.  Two on opening day, including Mexico taking on the host country, South Africa in the opener.  Then three each day until the final games of the first round when there are four.

The start times will be early, (6, 8:30 and 1:00), but establishments will be filled with fans wanting to catch the greatest month long spectacle in sports.

Give it a look-see.  Stop in a pub, grab a Guinness, and catch a match with some of the die- hards.  You won't get beaten up.  Their are not many soccer hooligans in the Midwest. 

I bet you'll enjoy yourself!  You can thank me later!
