Ole, Ole, Ole Ole!
Great news for US soccer!
I somehow missed this the week before last, I think it happened on a holiday. But the US will be full strength for their World Cup qualifiers:
Thank you! The US team plays its first of ten matches on Wednesday, at Trinidad and Tobago. In World Cup qualifying, you're really safe if you win your home matches, and draw some on the road. They should be able to get at least a draw, and with a win will cement their status as the favorite to be the first team from the region through to the World Cup in 2006.
Now, if I can just remember to try to follow the action on Wednesday afternoon (2:30pm on ESPN2 for those at home) from my desk.

The U.S. Soccer Federation ended its threat to use replacement minor leaguers in a World Cup qualifier next month, reaching an agreement Friday with the national team's union that calls for a pay increase in exchange for a no-strike pledge through 2005.
