i'm argentina fan, but don't worry..
rankings are only temporary, they can change all the time. not important! victories and cups are much more important!

It will affect usa badly. yeah the gold cup win was good but they where playing mediocre teams so no one cares about the gold cup to much. the copa america is one of the biggest cups and that cup make u or break u and bob bradly made a wrong decision bringing a b-team to the big tournament. USA wont make it out of there group and that will drop them maybe by 10 the max. but u shouldnt worry, the fifa rankings are not correct or perfect so dont believe the rankings

I think USA chose the wrong tournament to take a B team!! If anytihing they should have taken this team to Copa Oro and would still have made it to the final. if you look at the competition in Copa Oro there was really two teams Mexico and Usa and maybe Canada but noone else. Look at Copa America the best of the best in Latin America even though Brazil took a B team, but anywhere else that is still an A team. I hope it hurts them for not taking the tournament more serious. this is why they really have no respect yet as a soccer country.

Don't worry about the ranking. We are getting experience playing against very good players. That is very important to keep growing the way we are growing.

This will definitely hurt them ALOT, not only from a loss of fans, but will lose respect from other nations for losing every single game and yet somehow won the gold cup....makes it look very bad for USA.

It will no doubt affect everybody's rankings, but since very few people who know anything about football lend any credence to them, I wouldn't be unduly concerned. They rarely reflect a team's true status.

Naw, its gonna establish it. Sober up from that deceptive gold cup win man. This is the real deal A, B, C or whatever alphabet team you table.
