Leaving a hot and humid American training camp for cool temperatures and high altitudes, the United States team departed Sunday for South Africa and a much-anticipated 2010 FIFA World Cup™ opener with England.
A day after defeating Turkey 2-1 in their send-off match, the youngest American World Cup squad since 1994 with an average age just under 27 flew out from the US capital, 15 players bound for their inaugural World Cup.
"We're young, we're energetic, we're excited and we're going to surprise people in the World Cup," veteran US midfielder DaMarcus Beasley said.
