Does anybody know are the USA in the world cup, or after last year's absence do they have to go through the qualifing rounds:

Looking at speedway star it doesnt look like they are even in the qualis!

 

They would do well this year and all with Billy, Greg, Billy, Ryan, Sam, Josh, Brent, Eric & Bryan all over in europe.

Thanks for the info guys, shame the USA are not in the competition because like tomhaines said they have a good looking squad of riders over in Europe this year, does anyone know if that's their choice or have they been drop out because of what happened last year, but then England always have a good looking squad coming up to the world cup but when august comes around injures always seem to play a part lets hope this year is different.....

It was rumoured after last years' events that BSI would exclude them from the 2004 compeition - not sure if this has actually happened, but could be the answer.
