So what do you think about the US qualifying for the semis?:lol


That was crazy. We looked like the worst team in the whole thing, and we needed a miracle and got it

I know I know..but there was no chance we were going to win by three and Italy was going to lose by three either...that happened. There was no chance in 1980 that the US hockey team was going to beat Russia...hmmm....lol..I know it probably won't happen, but at least we can hope for it now, when before, there was no hope.

I'm a patriot...I enjoy watching soccer...therefore I care about USA soccer.

[BUMP]

i didnt give a shit about soccer until i went to Europe the same summer they had the world cup and that was all they seemed to show on there and then i became fascinated by it.

i root for the US of course, but i love watching Brazil when they have all their horses. its like they're dancing with the ball

[Brazil]

It's quite weird, for me this Brazilian generation is one of the weakest ever, when your best player is robinho you should be worried nevertheless they have amazing results this year. We will figure out in 2010 if they are in a fluke mode or not.

BTW the soccer world doesn't give a shit about the confederation cup it's like a friendly tournament with players in holidays.

Kaka is by far the best player on that team. Robinho isnt close to his level.

But i agree, this generation is probably the worst since the gap between Pele and Romario teams.

[LakerHater]

:wgaf:


& in a NBA forum?!?

SHouldn't this shit be somewhere else?

[BUMP]

you know you're country is damn good when you beat the defending World Cup champions by three goals and say that this is one of the worst generations in nation history

[Texas_Ranger]

I hope USA and Brazil defeat Spain and South Africa.

And so far on this cup Maicon is the best Brazil player.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Right now, Spain > Brazil

Real American Patriots don't watch a sport full of nothing but Manu Ginobilis, diving in agony over the slightest of contact. Wait, I take that back--Manu can actually take a hit, unlike those sissy divegrass players.

cool story son

[diego]

the confederations cup is basically for the WC organizing country to do a dress rehearsal, the winner of this tournament has never won the real WC, so i wouldnt read into this tournament at all.

that said... pele is the bill russell of soccer. He won a lot, but he was on stacked teams (NT and club). He was physically exceptional for the time, but not very special today. and even though his achievements say he should be remembered as the best, not even fans of his teams agree (many brazilians think players like Garrincha, Didi, Zico, and jairzinho were better).

anyways i'm argie so i have zero credibility on the subject. Maradona is the best! :lol

So I guess this guy is soccer's version of Chris Paul?

[diego]

there are much better examples of flops then the last one. he wasnt faking contact, and it actually can hurt to totally wiff on a shot like that, especially if you are off balance. I dont watch many american sports other than basketball anymore, but I'm sure I've seen baseball and football players injure themselves without any contact from another player.

Sorry but lately with the Brazilian NT robinho is more valuable than kaka but of course out of that kaka is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> robinho.

I liked a lot Ramirez (Maicon is doing fine also), I think he is bringing speed and consistency to this Brazilian team.

To me Robinho is the footballing version of Allen Iverson. Alot of style and flash - but not that much substance. Of course he can have his days where he looks like the best player in the world - but those are far an in between.

Kaka is like a prime Tim Duncan. Doesnt necessarily have the flash of Messi or Ronaldo, but he is every bit the player.

Hes the best in the world IMO. Maybe Ronaldo too, with Messi third.

Make no mistake, I also think robinho is a denilson kind of player to stay in soccer analogy but lately for his NT he was one of the best, this is why I said that IMO this generation is one of the weakest so far.

Regarding who is the best I'd put Messi on the number 1 spot then ronaldo/kaka then guys like Iniesta/Ribery/Xavi/Vila etc...

Is there any sport more boring than diveball? PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS

I just want somebody to score.

[Brazil]

:nope

It wouldn't be a major upset: once again this confederation cup is the equivalent of a friendly competition during the summer before the season starts, nobody cares. Anyway it would be a great result for USA ! 20 mn to go sounds good.

So you're saying the number 14 team beating the number 1 team in the world wouldn't be an upset? And you don't think Spain wants to hold on to their 15 game win streak and their 35 game non losing streak? That's a record, if I'm not mistaken...I'm sure it means something to them.

Spains gets this for being hypocrites about saying no to racism.

If we had a record winning streak, yes...yes I would be.

[noob cake]

Cruyff

[diego]

the confed cup isnt quite preseason, as it is still an official international tournament, but then the US isnt quite as bad as the clippers...

the spanish media is going to crucify them inquistion style either way.

I didnt watch the game but not at all surprised the US beat them. Spain relies on their skilled players to make and take opportunities and they dont have a physically imposing team. they were on a good roll though and i'm sure whoever bet on the US made good money today. that said, the US doesnt have much to brag about either. they barely got to the semis in the first place, in a small tournament with only 3 "elite" teams in italy, spain and brazil. now if they beat brazil in the final, that will be impressive...

...if not for the confed cup curse: the winner always flames out in the WC.
