US has played poorly today....they have had a few nice runs but poor preformance overall i think

yup. Ill move my offer up to 350-1:D

If only you had a better defence and attack youd be fine, your midfield is ok.

Yeah, if only we could score and stop others from scoring.

If only...

You ever think about getting into coaching?

funny guy.

Im serious, ive seen a couple of good american defenders, i figured they would get picked for the 23 going to germany, but arena shocked me.

And ive actually done a soccer coaching course, but only a 2 week one enabling me to teach it at school level. And i dont mean the level you guys do, at the british level, which means shit

Just out of curiosity, who are these players you've seen? If Spector is one of them, I'll grant you he's good, but just not enough international experience for this run. If anything, I would've liked to have seen Nat Borchers get a look instead of Berhalter (more like Beerholder), he's reportedly doing real well in Norway this season.

England sucks.... wow they looked horrible today.

England is 2-0. Will the whole world just get off their god damn back. I can't wait til they win the cup so that everyone gives them some respect. And they will win the cup.

I hate to disagreee, as im 100% behind england.


We wont beat argentina or brazil. Period. this year at least.


IF rooney plays, and owen can fucking learn how to shoot/head/run/pass, we have a chance. Also we must start aaron lennon.

God damn Sven.


England were dominant in most of todays game, but the opposition was pretty weak, manchester united would have beat these 5-0 minimum.


If england can work out the passing, and keep the shots down, well be fine, and we have a chance.

Put down the bloody crack pipe and step away slowly mate.

Anyone watching this Ghana Czech game? I feel bad for the US right now.

That US-Italy game was the single most ugly thing Ive seen in a LONG time! Everyone was complaining about the ref, and the 3 reds were a bit harsh, but looking at the replays, they were ok. Clearly intentional elbow to the face...yep. Then a slide tackle from behind with both feet, studs up - rulebook calls for a red there too. And the second yellow for Pope was more than warranted, late slide tackle from behind, you cant let that slide.

The ref was shocking. The first red card fair enough but the others were a joke and really indicative of past officals from previous world cups. I thought we got over this.

does that mean im $10 up?????

hmmm, as i seem to be absolute on the USA $10, ill trhow some more in.

evens on brazil
evens on argentina
2-1 england/germany
3-1 spain
5-1 portugal
10-1 others.


action anyone:rolleyes:

ill take up to a $20 max on each of them

I guess this is the first time I am getting back into soccer games, I used to play a lot when I was younger, thus the last time I really payed attention was the '94 world cup, and the '96 olympics which were in my back yard btw. So back then, Ronaldo was the shiznit. But now, this guy name Ronaldo(inho) is the shiznit, and I was reading one of the latest SI's and read an article about him and how Pele thinks he is possibly the greatest ever... anyhoo, I him, and this guy is incredible. He is like the MJ of basketball, he has the potential to bring soccer to a different level, simply by creating young fans imitating him, and thus they become the Lebron's of the future.

Then again I could be so far out of the loop that I am 5 years behind this discussion.

ronaldinhio hasnt come good yet this world cup.

hes frickin amazing though

ummm -rep for this why??


No takers on my odds yet? bah

It wasn't me.

I wish I could skip work tomorrow to watch the US Ghana game...Would this be the first time that we advanced if we are able to beat Ghana and Italy beats Czech.

i know, we iz cool now.

Plus it was for 1 point.


USA will beat ghana, but you still wont make it

usa advanced to play germany which we lost in 2002 fungus

How do you see how many points?
