Warm-ups show US has work to do before World Cup

The World Cup is less than a year away, and the U.S. men look far from ready.

They've lost three of their last four games, are getting scored on faster than fans can take their seats and are on the verge of a meek exit from the Confederations Cup, a tournament featuring some of the best international soccer teams.

As if that's not enough, the guy responsible for one of the U.S. losses is an Italian by way of New Jersey.

Not exactly the ideal warmup.

"I, maybe like a lot of people, thought this team was further along than it is," said Alexi Lalas, the colorful star of the U.S. team at the 1994 World Cup who is now working as an analyst for ESPN.

Bob Bradley is WAY over his head.
