looks like totti will be in form for italy by world cup time after all. i was hoping we could avoid facing a healthy italian squad. we could use any break we can get to get outta the group.

Frankie Hejduk out of World Cup with injury. Chris Albright will now replace him on the squad. Gotta feel bad for Frankie. He's a cool cat.
