    Acording to FIFA it's 1:15 CST, but ESPN2's coverage claims to be live and starts at 2. If you can speak Spanish, Univision's coverage starts at 1:30.

    Italy and England are both seeded so we could only be in a group with one of them. We're in the same pot as Japan so we can't be in a group with them.

    I hope USA can avoid the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. If we can do that we'll have a much better shot...

    I don't think it's video, but espn.com supposedly developed some program just for the draw.

    ESPN has a flash program that shoul dbe set up to show the draw. Right now it only has germany and Brazil listed so the action must not be started yet.

    Fifa also apparently has coverage, but they are runnign real slow. i am sure they are getting hammered.

    Balboa and Wynalda both say that the US will be a contender this year. They said to keep in mind that the US was hit with bad luck on the hand ball no-call vs Germany in 2002, and that the US outplayed Germany in that game. The next game would have been against South Korea, who was beatable...

    The US totally outplayed Germany in 02. It was a hell of a match. I can't wait for 2006

    The fifa site is pretty good too. they have running commentary of what is going on on one side and goofy chat on the other. the draw is about to actually start.

    Group G is looking promising right now. Hopefully we can land there.

    Group C the early group of death? Argentina, Ivory Coast and Netherlands already, that looks like the group to avoid.
