Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, predicts that the US will advance to the 2nd round in the upcoming World Cup. He said that the opening game against England will be very difficult, however, if the Americans can maintain their composure they can easily go on to beat Slovenia and Algeria to reach the knockout phase of the tournament.
"They've proved themselves in previous World Cups. With Donovan and Dempsey, they've got some experience. They have been there before. It's not as if this is new to them. So I don't think they will be overawed by anything or the atmosphere of the World Cup or the importance of the World Cup or the intensity. I think it will be easy for them."
