A couple years ago the US Soccer Federation decided to put all it's eggs in one basket. They threw everything we had at the Gold Cup, while almost completely ignoring the much more difficult Copa America. The payoff for that quasi-controversial decision comes this Monday when we play Italy in the Confederations Cup.
The confederations cup doesn't have a whole lot of history behind it, but it's evolved into the best World Cup tune up a mid level team like the US could hope for. A full year before the World cup we'll be able to compete against the best in the world, not in friendlies, but in actual games that matter.
U.S. glass is half full or half empty?(that's on point)
