USA to still continue in world cup?

It was expected that the USA would have a difficult time playing their opening match against the Czech Republic. The FIFA rankings of where the Czechs are placed 3rd versus USA's 5th do not do it justice. We were thoroughly defeated with a 3-0 loss.

USA must now win against Italy and Ghana to continue to the second round. It can also hope that when Czech play Italy, a draw or an Italy loss will help USA's chances.

The weakness in USA's was the finishing part. Clearly, we do have an experienced team, but there's no extra star person that has the skills to create that magic. The team's experience is half-domestic (USA MLS) and half-european (Premiership, European).
