Brian, when Kartik was referring to “we”, he meant the US, not Great Britain.

If there is a UK team in 2012, they would get into the tournament as hosts and not have to qualify.

Something in the water then in Europe?

I should point out we made the semifinals in 2000 of the Olympics but again that was because it was not in Europe. The US has never advanced out of the the group stage of any tournament at any level held in Europe, while our record is quite good at all levels in tournaments held outside of Europe.

“we won’t get out of the group stage”

We have to qualify first which is iffy at best as proven the last two go rounds.

If we had played Guatemala instead of Canada in the semifinals we’d have lost for sure. Guatemala had just dominated Mexico days earlier.
