Bruce Arena's U.S. squad has had four full days in Seoul — and the Americans have seven more days of preparation before kicking off their World Cup campaign against Portugal on June 5. ''I think we are doing enough training in preparation for the World Cup,'' Arena says ''I don't anticipate us increasing the schedule, as we get closer to the game we will lighten up our workload. ''I don't think the time from our last game, which was Holland on May 19, to June 5 will be a problem. We have enough players in training to play 11 v. 11, and I anticipate that by the time June 5 comes around our team will be ready to play and ready to play well.'' The USA, under high security, has been whisked through Seoul's notorious traffic jams under police escort en route to its practice sessions. Only once have they have they been slowed down. On Tuesday evening, a late practice session saw the police escort come to a grinding halt in gridlock, rush-hour traffic along the 88 Highway for the first time. With two motorcycles, a squad car and a SWAT Team Chevy Suburban leading the way, the police escort attempted to clear a path, but had to settle with moving along at an abbreviated pace and providing rush hour entertainment for thousands of motorists on the highway. The team has been practicing late in the day because its kickoff against Portugal is 6 pm local time. ''From my perspective the security has been outstanding,'' Arena said. ''It hasn't interfered with our training schedule or the ability of our players to get out and see the city. It has been great. ''We were told to act like you would in any major city, realizing that in any major city you can get yourself in trouble if you're not smart, so you act accordingly.'' The mass of media following the U.S. each day continues to swell. Journalists from Poland, Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Korea, England, Malaysia, Japan, France, Germany, Australia, Argentina, Italy and others have joined the U.S. media in focusing on the U.S. camp. Arena says the team is acclimating to the time change. ''They are getting there,'' he said. ''Today is obviously the best they've felt since we've been here, and we realize that it will take us more than a couple of days but I think each and every day our players have made progress.''
