haven't lost a single qualifying game

getting thru groups containing germany, and turkey along the way.

have lost to the last two world champions, and portugal when they were hosts. And that's it. Given our competitive record ever since '66, that's a huge improvement. Depends if you're the kind of fan who thinks we should automatically win every tournament we enter, I suppose.
