To further accentuate your point on what can happen at any month long tourney, we were a Torsten Frings handball called a penalty away from taking a 1-0 lead on Germany and making the semi-finals and getting to play South Korea for a chance to play in the Finals of World Cup 2002.

ROSSI AND SUBOTIC!! Gimme a break, they are not loyal to the USA. Fredy Adu could be playing for Ghana...a pretty good team, yet opted for the USA, same with Jones. We should embrace them. Im not comparing them to Magic Johnson, but when you deal out precise passing and disrupt defenses with awesome ball handling skills you make everyone on your team look better. You need to start these two guys somehow to make our team, and the OTHER guys on our team dangerous!!

Project 2010 was ambitious. Bravo for that.
I say roll it forward and go Project 2022..

If the not so far fetched what ifs came through we would almost say.. 2010 is closer than we ever thought it could be.

Think Rossi and Subotic and Donovan at Everton 4 years ago and a break out year for Davies and a healthy Jones..
Of course Jones was not developed at all in the US.. but imagine what we'd hope for with that squad.

I like the business-like, goal setting way they concocted Project 2010. It is definitely a long stretch, but they set up a few building blocks to truly accelerate development, which is great.
The fact is though that until our professional teams have soccer academies we will always lack depth in our national team roster. Our chances rest on Dempsey, Guch, and Chucky D coming back. Brazil shrugs Ronadinho aside and it doesn't affect them.

I think this raises a relevant point. This is all a matter of perspective, which frequently is lacking in our often ultrapesimistic fanbase. No one really knows who is in a position to win a World Cup because so many things happen along the way that surprise everyone. With Landon Donovan at the top of his game and the possible emotional uplift from a Charlie Davies return, the USA could make a lot of noise in South Africa and be a threat to win the whole thing. Like the post said, the chances of that happening don't have to be huge, that just have to be there at all, and I believe they are. That makes Project 2010's goals very attainable

Oh well, glad that's out of the way

You are Crazy and way overly optimistic.
