Well, after all that, it looks like the U.S. is in the toughest group (with Italy, the Czech Republic and Ghana) for next summer’s World Cup in Germany.

As it did in 2002, Yahoo! is sponsoring and hosting the official World Cup Web site, which, in addition to the exhaustive biographies of mascots Goleo VI and Pille, offers video clips, breaking news, interviews and more, all in Yahoo!’s ever-so-friendly interface.
