i respect the USA totally john. They just have a shit defence, will leak a few goals, you also have a tough group, and your attack isnt hot. Add that together, youll finish 3rd in the group.

I think the german scorer was "Schweinsteiger" do-dbld.

problem with T&T is they wont score any goals. And shaka hislop isnt bad, but it getting old.



England will make semis when rooney gets fit, as crouch cant play as out and out striker.

The funny thing about the Sweden vs Trinadad game was shaka Hislop the keeper wasn't even going to play but the 1st choice keeper injured himself just before kickoff. Lovely result for England as now if we beat TnT this thursday we qualify

As for the USA team being an up and coming team and to watch out for them in the future? this is what they said when USA held the world cup in 94. It wont even happen unless Soccer becomes a higher priority sport over there. Sure people play it, but it really is not "the only sport that matters" like so many other countries in the world. When i played soccer their for USF most of the local players had fundemental problems with a core understanding of the game. The coaches were simply not good enough. Strange really as the USA has the most people playing the game in the world :P

University of South Florida?

With our rich history of sports in the US, and in the grand scheme of things, soccer is just not that interesting.

That said, I will tune in today to see if we can't dominate this like we dominate 99% of other things in the world. I doubt we can, but we couldn't have possible overthrown a government and gained our independence either.

It's clear that yall (you guys) know much more about soccer than I do. So I'm just going to hope you're wrong.

Czech bastards go down today!

2 mins in and I realize what I hate about soccer.

The flops.

Constant flops.

Just fucking quit.

Edit: And the constant throwing up of the arms and disrespect for the officials.
