Is the US really this bad? I know nothing of this sport but am trying to get into it?

The two 45 minute halves have a 15 minute halftime between them.
And yeah, hopefully the US can make the 2nd half a bit more respectable.

Soccer Halftime Length

Halftimes at the world level are usually 15 minutes. At amateur levels, 20.
The US was ranked 9th in the world at the time the World Cup pools were seeded, only a fraction below the Czechs. Had the Americans been 8th, they would have been a top seed in a pool and thus had weaker opponents in the first round. Such is life.
Having said that, the US is currently 5th in the world rankings before the tournament and have no major injuries. Despite group E being in the toughest of the eight groups, the US could conceivably win the group. I suspect a win against Togo and tying both the Czechs and Italians to be enough if the Czechs and Italians beat up each other.
If the US does finish first, their first two medal round games would be against teams they are capable of beating (Croatia or Japan first, then either France or Ukraine) giving them only a moderately tough road to the semifinals. It's unlikely they'd get beyond that, but a bronze medal would be more than enough.
If the US finishes 2nd in group E, they would play Brazil in the next round. Start planning for 2010 if that happens.

S Because of field games times, most youth organizations will try to limit the half to 5 minutes, If the fields are on time, and it is hot, I will extend them to 10 minutes. Soccerref

45 minutes for a soccer halftime. For overtime, halftime is 15 minutes. U.S.A is not that bad, but Chez is a strong team with pretty good experience. It is not as popular as other Euro giants like England and Germany because they don't have big name players like Backhem, Klose , etc...Try to watch the whole good game, you will be into soccer very soon.

Lol. Football, not soccer (if ur really trying to get into the game u should call it by its proper name!) is made up of two halves which are 45 mins each, between the halves is half time which lasts for 15 mins. The US isn't really that bad. Brad Friedel is a legend and saved ur bums last world cup!
