I had tentatively planned to write a companion post to my "Five Reasons the US Can Win" from yesterday, playing the other side and presenting five reasons the United States won't win.

But Ginge stole my thunder.

The esteemed panelist of the Winning Ugly Radio Show and co-host of the Match Fit USA Soccer Show got out in front and played the other side for me. He's more than likely chosen the exact reasons I would have (hadn't gotten to that point yet), so I suggest you head over there and read it.

It fits him better, anyway. He is the Black Cloud™ after all.
