I will not contain my joy with the news of the US Soccer Team qualifying for the 2010 World Cup. While the US Soccer Team has classified, it should not rest on its laurels. The team should continue to practice and train as much as possible.

The US Soccer Team should never look back and never underestimate itself or other teams. While the pundits make predictions based on experience, the USA has the potential to surprise people in South Africa. It should surprise the world with its consistency, continual improvement, and domination of the ball as well as the game.

The training and practice should be done under every circumstances but within moderation. It should include heat, rain, mud, dirt, as well as heavy exercises. The practice should be compatible with what will be expected in South Africa as well.

Another factor is to have faith and believe in yourself. Play like you never played before and with feeling as well as soul. While no one believed in US Soccer, there were others who believed and had faith in you. The rest that could be said is to convey my best wishes to the US Soccer Team as it seeks to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
