US Mens Soccer Team and Marketing

Back in the 90's I remember what seemed to be a big marketing push for the US Men's soccer team. The team started to get a lot of attention and then flopped in the World Cups.

After coming off their first final appearance in a FIFA tournament and beating number 1 ranked team Spain to get there, I'd say it's time to start gearing up the marketing strategy again for the 2010 World Cup.

This team might be the team that gives US Men's Soccer the same recognition as the women's team. The only thing left to be decided is who's going to be the men's "Mia Hamm"?
