"There was a time when the U.S. seemed unbeatable in the World Cup."

Garry Smits reminds us that it wasn't long ago the U.S. sent its top players to the World Cup, something I thought about while watching round 1 and noticing that most other countries sent high-profile teams (nothing against Nick Watney and John Merrick, fine Americans they are).

The system used to select players involves starting at the top and keep inviting players until somebody accepts. That player may select his partner. . . Watney and Merrick might win or they might not - they are certainly good enough. . . But, the days of our top players choosing to travel so far this time of year - to split "only" $2.7 million are likely over. . . Woods has his own big charity event next week and Phil is always done before now. . . The Americans who are playing the World Cup this week are good enough, if they play well, they will be right in there.
