Photo courtesy Vanity Fair, Annie Leibovitz.Cheers for the World Cup this summer!!! Actually, in less than one month. June 11 is the beginning of the World Cup in South Africa.
USA all the way! Well, actually I don't think the US will win it, despite their amazing play in last summer's Confederations Cup in South Africa, the team has had big injury setbacks lately. If you do not know who I'm talking about, well then go do your own research.
The US defense and midfield I believe is quite stable and solid. But with Charlie Davies not fully recovered from his tragic car accident last October, Jozy Altidore seems to be the lone US scoring attack.
However, the US has surprised many in the past. I thoroughly hope they have another strong, dominant showing like last summer's Confederations Cup, but making out of the group play (including an absolute drubbing of England on June 12) would be an improvement from the 2006 World Cup.
p.s. Annie Leibovitz, why did you photograph Landon Donovan bent over?? Despite the obvious (and rude/inappropriate) puns that could come of this photograph, it just kind of shows a disrespect of American futbol...bent over, lower than the others, seemingly submissive?? I would have liked to see him standing upright, confident like the others on the cover.
XOXO.
GO USA!!!!
