JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 4, 2010 (WSFB-AC) – In a model of efficiency rarely seen among elite national squads, the U.S. men’s soccer team is committed to overpromising and under-delivering early in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Says coach Bob Bradley, “We are far ahead of where we normally are at this point in the Cup. Already this week we have started building unrealistic expectations. If we stay focused I think this squad can fail to meet those expectations as early as next week.” The American side is set to meet England on June 12, but Bradely thinks his team can be out of the running and wallowing in shame as early as June 10.

The Americans’ progress has come as a result of Bradley’s disciplined approach. They plan on a key player sustaining an untimely and devastating injury no later than this weekend, though Bradley is playing his cards close as to who might be. The U.S. organization also has plans to complain about officiating before the opening kick and to subtly imply that it is part of a political agenda no later than the 30^th minute of their first match.
