美國國家隊守門員卡西 凱勒希望美國觀眾不要期待美國隊還能再續02年世界盃的輝煌,闖進四分之一決賽。很多美國觀眾都希望,美國隊這回還能進入四分之一決賽,甚至表現得更出色。然而卡凱勒卻認為美國隊現在還不具有那樣的實力,也許到2010年或是2014年的時候,這種可能性才會存在。

原文:KELLER LOWERS US EXPECTATIONS
31/05/06 - 21:28
United States goalkeeper Kasey Keller has warned the American public not to expect the national team to eclipse their 2002 achievement of reaching the World Cup quarter-finals.
The USA raised eyebrows with their march to the last eight four years ago and that has raised hopes that they could match or surpass that performance this time around.
Asked what round would be a success, 36-year-old Keller told www.ussoccer.com: "I don't think you can necessarily just put a round: 'Okay, we need a semi-final,' and that's a successful World Cup.
"We're not quite there yet. Close. I would think 2010, 2014, that's a possibility.
"Don't get me wrong. I think this team is more than capable of getting into a semi-final but it might be a little bit soon to just call that out and say, 'This will make this World Cup a success."'
