Apparently Freddy Adu has a brother named Ibid who is 20 times better.

Apparently Freddy Adu has a brother named Ibid who is 20 times better. Actually his brother is no where near as good as Freddy, so you're half right. He plays for George Mason University.

Will the US ever be a serious World Cup contender? I remember they were ranked highly, but they didn't do well.

Absolutely, just not in the absolute immediate future.
I'd say by the 2018 World Cup they'll be legitimate threats. We've only been taking soccer seriously since the early 90s basically, and that's when more kids started getting involved soccer and when we really started growing young talent, so by the time their adults, which is the mid 2010s, we should be one of the better teams in the world.
My god, Ballack is such a flopper.. He got grazed on the chest and he falls down screaming in pain.
Portugal scores.

Adu will be 30 by then and there's no way of predicting that. You'll notice US incredible improvement in the 2010 World Cup.Guys like Donovan, Onyewu, Dempsey, Beasley will be nearing there twilight years, but still "young" enough to remain relevant. Freddy Adu, Jozy Altidore, Vincenzo Bernardo, Okotie, will be big time players on European teams. I'm not saying they're going to win it all in 2010.. but they will definitely impress alot of people in 2010, 2014 could be the year they win it all though They're U-21 team is sick,

Yeah, the US will definitely impress in 2010, but I think they're only gonna get better as time goes on, because the homegrown talent will continue to improve and expand.
Look at where we are compared to 10-12 years ago, we're vastly improved, and we're only gonna get better.
Altidore is sick, he'll be a big time player soon.

Oh no doubt the US team now from what it was even 6-8 years ago is crazy good, but you can't make a crazy prediction like 2018 because while the U.S. is getting better so are other countries too... Spain with Bojan leading the way soon, Argentina with Messi and Kun Aguero, Mexico is going to have a SICK SICK SICK team next world cup with Geovanni and Carlos Vela, I mean a lot of countries are getting stronger and stronger.

I didn't say we'd win in 2018, I said we'll be legitimate threats. Basically, by that time, we'll be mentioned among the elite teams.

And now you see Portugal's glaring weakness - their goalkeeper is a fool and their defense is weak.

their goalkeeper is actually really good.. used to play on Manchester and was one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga last year.

Eh. I dunno about that. He's good, but he makes some boneheaded moves on balls in the air.
