February 28, 2006. Hundreds of excited soccer fans came out to support of the United States Men's National Soccer Team on Tuesday. The rally, held at Ramstein Air Force base, came the day before the US team met Poland in a pre-World Cup friendly in Kaiserslautern. The Men's National Team, which includes three Americans who regularly play soccer in the German leagues, were on hand and were eager to meet with their fans to sign autographs. Comedian Drew Carey also made a special surprise appearance and gave his prediction for victory in Wednesday's game, while two large screens highlighted Team USA's successes in the World Cup qualifying rounds.

Despite heavy snow during the game, the USA Men's National Team went on to beat Poland 1-0 in Kaiserslautern's Fritz-Walter-Stadion. The game went down in history as the first organized by the official American soccer federation, US Soccer, to be held outside of the United States. Team USA will meet Germany's national team in Dortmund on March 22.
