MLS players, coaches view Group E

a veteran of two World Cups as a player with Scotland -- said that the U.S. has been drawn into the "group of death," Kansas City Wizards boss Bob Gansler -- who coached the U.S. in the 1990 World Cup -- said the Stars and Stripes can handle whatever is thrown at them.


"To get into the second round again, that should be their aim and that needs to be their aim," Gansler said. "If anything, our team should be better than last time because of the experience the players have gained as individuals and MLS has continued to contribute to their development. Tough, yes, but we will be all right."
