Steve,
Those in the armed forces who were willing to take a stand against the Iraq invasion are the ones *I* consider brave and loyal. Many seem to want to forget that the USA was founded by those who said “enough” to the shenanigans of their own government.

It will certainly be tough for the United States against Russia, but I don’t think they’ll see a complete shut-out.

Anna Chakvetadze is not the most predictable of players, so she could drop a rubber to King or Huber, plus I’d pick Huber (and whoever) to win the doubles against Safina & Vesnina.

Steve, I want to personally thank for everything you’ve done for this great country. It’s unfortunate that our US Squad isn’t with our top players. I’m pretty sure they have valid reasons for not attending. They can’t be everywhere they are needed.

United States of America. How many people do we have overseas in places like Iraq etc - you get my drift. Some of these awesome, brave and loyal citizens are serving their third tour - that is in years, away from family and friends. With all due respect to our team that is participating, I can’t believe some of the higher ranked players couldn’t take a week to represent our great country. P.S. I spent 24 years in the US Navy over half overseas or at sea.

Uh, we are going to get killed with that squad. Maybe Vania will get an upset singles win to avoid a 5-0.

And no Li Na? Man this Fed Cup is not worth watching much. Here’s Russia (sigh) and Spain FTW.
