For those thinking the United States was near a breakthrough at the World Cup, Brazil's young, new-look team showed that the Americans still aren't close to catching up with soccer's elite.

They started scattering Sunday to the United States and Europe, never to come together as a group again.

Now that Charlie Davies won't be playing for the U.S. soccer team in South Africa, coach Bob Bradley must figure out his starting forwards.

U.S. coach Bob Bradley is uncertain whether Charlie Davis will recover enough from severe injuries sustained in a car crash last fall to earn an invitation for the Americans' pre-World Cup training camp next month.

The United States opened its 2010 schedule of World Cup warmups with a resounding thud.
