While the Stars & Stripes failed to qualify for this year's edition of the World Cup, casting a moment of sorrow over the WNE Delegation, it should be noted that the Golden Bear side includes members who are nationals of France and Peru! This will make for an interesting intra-squad rivalry since both countries are in the same Group Stage pool, along with Australia and Denmark. Hopefully, things will not get too chippy on June 21, when Les Bleus face off against La Blanquirroja (the White and Red) in Yekaterinburg. While disappointing for Uncle Sam's loyalists, America's absence probably is not nearly as devastating for its fans as Italy's, which country boasts one of the most dominant national teams in tournament history, with four World Cup Trophies to boot. Boo-hoo.
