    U.S. men greeted by high-profile security
    [​IMG]
    The United States squad arrived in Johannesburg on Monday following a 17-hour flight, with visible security for the Americans' high-profile arrival ahead of the World Cup no different to that which greeted other teams in South Africa.

    Armed special task-force members, dressed in dark blue uniforms, surrounded the South African Airways plane at the O.R. Tambo airport as the players emerged on a cool, overcast afternoon.

    Okay, Americans. Please answer this question: why the hell do you call your team the US Mens National Team? I guess I can understand the "mens" part but we know it's the national team, for god sake.

    Introducing the EMNT!
