Ferguson - USA look strong for World Cup

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has backed the USA to do well at next month's World Cup finals in South Africa. The United States open their Group C campaign against Fabio Capello's England in Rustenburg on June 12 before playing Slovenia and Algeria. "In the group they're in, it's not beyond them to qualify," said Ferguson. "In fact, I think they will qualify. I don't think they're going to be overwhelmed with the atmosphere of the World Cup, the importance of the World Cup, the intensity. I think that will be easy for them. I think they'll be used to that."
