Team USA is definitely improving and moving up the international rankings. They are now well ahead of Mexico, and the top CONCACAF team by far. But...the top European squads have a habit of picking their defense apart. Tomorrow, they face THE top team in the world by a lot. Spain is firing on all cylinders right now and is on the short list of teams that can win the World Cup next year. The performance of Team USA against Spain in a must-win match and a high-profile tournament will help to gauge just where the US lines up against the top European national teams.
