Don't forget about Poland.

Considering the level of respect for American soccer given by the average European soccer fan...

losing 3-0 to the US at home has to go down as one of the more embarrassing moments for the Polish nation in the last century.

Was this the best 11 Poland could have put on the field? No. (same could be said about the US)
Does the US have issues scoring in the run of play? Yup.
Eddie Johnson? Yup. (nothing more needs to be said)

Unlike the Swiss and Swedish affairs of last fall, where the ball bounced around for most of the game and one team managed to manufacture a goal in the second half, the US clearly dominated on Wednesday. Three goals off of set pieces is certainly something to be thrilled about, its one thing to get goals off of headers against Central American teams.. where US players have a strength/height advantage... but out muscling Poland in the box on two goals was certainly refreshing.

Poland is the type of team that the US should be competitive with game in and game out... obviously the US has alot to learn about itself when they face Spain and Argentina, the "big boys", in the next couple months.

Next up, however, is a very TV friendly matchup in London against England, who, despite delusions of hardcore English fans, probably falls closer to Poland than Spain/Argentina on the worldwide respect scale. The English side should be a tough challenge for the US, there is no doubt about it, hopefully the US team sees this game as an opportunity to make a statement.

Extend the winning streak to 3 games (or even get a result), and people might start to take notice.
