With the results not going the United States national team's way, it's no surprise that Jurgen
Klinsmann's side continues its slide down the FIFA rankings.

and Algeria -- following its win over Honduras and loss to Ecuador.
The season may not have gone as planned for the San Jose Earthquakes, or even for Chris
Wondolowski. Still, despite his teams troubles, Wondo remains at the top of the charts in scoring.
Currently he is tied with Dwayne De Rosario of DC United, each with 15 goals apiece. With one game
left for the Earthquakes, San Jose fans are wondering if their striker will retain the Golden Boot
honor for a second consecutive year.

This week US Soccer fans saw something new. They saw a team in the red, white and blue attempt
to possess the ball, pass the ball, and play out of trouble. They saw players chosen on the hope

They saw glaring imperfections, certainly.
