sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=usworldcupThe website is featuring an incredible documentary on the USA Soccer Teams summer. Pretty incredible look into the security issues that face the US Men when they travel abroad.....here are a few gems just from a trip to Costa Rica. "Nine hours until kickoff. Nine hours until the U.S. national team enters hell's pitch and the whistle blows. But for now, Jozy Altidore isn't worrying whether Costa Rican fans will pelt the team with batteries or hurl plastic bags filled with blood or urine." "A U.S. State Department security official has told the team not to leave the hotel, not to wander to the mall across the street or the Hooters down the road. It's not safe. Even in the Switzerland of Central America, the players could be targets."
