STANFORD, California — Kyle Beckerman says he and the 29 young men with him "feel like we go to Stanford right **w." They do spend most of their time at this idyllic **rthern California university. And it's true that he and the other soccer players who make up the United States Men's National Team (USMNT (http://mashable.com/category/usmnt/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss)) can be seen in campus gyms and cafeterias.
But, while most of the actual students here worry about evaluations in computer science or eco**mics, history or psychology, Beckerman and his compatriots are steeling themselves for a different sort of test: the 2014 World Cup (http://mashable.com/category/world-cup/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) in Brazil.
