In 2006, the United States was placed in the "Group Of Death" which is a name given to the tournament's toughest pairings. The U.S. was faced with games against Czech Republic, Italy and Ghana. The Americans scored two goals over three games and finished with a 0-2-1 record that sent them home early.

So who will America have to face this year? And where will goliaths Brazil and Argentina be placed? All of this and more will be determined in less than a half an hour!
