“Also on Thursday, ESPN.com is scheduled to post “Fevered Pitch,” a multimedia feature by ESPN.com senior writer Wayne Drehs that tells the story of the U.S. men’s national soccer team this summer during its travels around the world with an eye to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

The package combines Wayne’s writing and reporting with photo galleries and video. Wayne was in Costa Rica with us, so there’s some behind the scenes stuff and he also followed the team during its two stops in Chicago this summer. Through additional reporting, he tells the stories of what happened in South Africa as the U.S. reached the Confederations Cup final and everything ends with an eye towards USA/Mexico on Aug. 12.”
