According to sources only peripherally aware of the World Cup, milkshakeballa's infuriating behavior first became apparent during a Super Bowl viewing party last February when he repeatedly used the phrase "American football" to describe the action on the field. In recent weeks, milkshakeballa has also begun referring to the supposed suspense involved in choosing the players for the U.S. "side," and has struck up several extended but one-sided conversations concerning figures such as "Kaka" and "Ronaldinho," generally mystifying and alienating everyone he has come into contact with.

Yesterday milkshakeballa sent an office-wide e-mail about the controversy surrounding the new World Cup ball, and the message was instantly deleted by all of his coworkers.

[DMX7]

Son, this is not the NBA.

[me15lo]

americans play soccer?

[Muser]

There's already a huge thread down in the other sports forum.

[TDMVPDPOY]

americans play soccer?

i think they like most other nations where soccer is not a heavily promoted sport, probably dont give a shit about their local national leagues, but ppl do tune in when the national side are playing...same problem with down here....

[lefty]

USA 2 England 1


We gonna fuck these Eurosnobs up.

Wrong forum

[Muser]

Wrong forum

I highly doubt the OP even likes football (soccer), lol eurosnobs.

[lefty]

I highly doubt the OP even likes football (soccer), lol eurosnobs.
Yeah he is an attention whore


Plus, Spurologist started a WC thread.
We dont need a separate game thread


Everybody, please stick to Spurologist's thread for every game of the tournament

Thank you :tu

[MannyIsGod]

LOL Eurosnobs.

[urunobili]

Can't wait to see Dempsy shit on the English for 2 goals...

[lefty]

Can't wait to see Dempsy shit on the English for 2 goals...
It can happen on PS3

Its true!

Can't wait to see Rooney shit on the Americans for 2 goals...

USA 2 England 1

EAT IT MOGROVE.

He's from Spain. I think he will be cheering for USA against England.

[scott]

I've already taken the liberty of finding out the future on the PS3. We beat England 3-1. Go on to be undefeated in the tournament, beating Brazil 2-0 in the final. Dempsey wins the Golden Boot with 7 goals.

[scott]

I'm also really tempted to jump on the 66-1 odds that US wins 3-2!

[Texas_Ranger]

Eng 3 - 0 us&a

[sonic21]

England wins 3-1

[hater]

fuck England and their rotten toothed players.

This is probably the only game I root for USA

"Brazil 1950:
English football had long borne an air of superiority and its dignitaries had scoffed at the value of the World Cup, never doubting that they boasted the world's best team. To say that it fell flat on its face would be an understatement. A routine 2-0 win over Chile was followed by arguably England's most embarrassing defeat ever - 1-0 to the USA in the northern industrial town of Belo Horizonte.

The decisive goal was scored, somewhat luckily, by Haitian immigrant Joe 'Larry' Gaetjens, who later sadly fell victim to the terror regime of François 'Papa Doc' Duvalier in his country of origin. The result was such a shock at the time that many newspaper in readers in England actually thought the scoreline was a misprint of 10-1. After losing to Spain, England were out of the tournament, and the arrogance that came with them was removed forever in just a week. "

[MannyIsGod]

1-1 draw

[lefty]

4-2 England

[quentin_compson]

I expect England to start slowly into the tournament. 1-0 would be my guess.

[DAF86]

1-1 draw

I also think it will be a draw.

[Thompson]

i think they like most other nations where soccer is not a heavily promoted sport, probably dont give a shit about their local national leagues, but ppl do tune in when the national side are playing...same problem with down here....

This is fairly accurate. I actually kind of hate soccer (fun to play, boring to watch), but I'll probably watch part or most of the games the U.S. is playing. Not saying I'll love it, but it might beat staring at the countdown timer on nbadraft.net. Barely. USA 2, Lobster-backs 0. Homer pick, I don't even know the names of our players.

My sister once asked her husband why they didn't try to enroll their son in a junior soccer league. He answered, 'Because he might like it.' He told me a comment he heard from someone once: 'The worst day in a father's life is when his son's soccer coach tells him the boy has potential.' :lol

[Dinamita]

England 3 - USA 0

Rooney with the Hat trick :hat

[Muser]

I expect England to start slowly into the tournament. 1-0 would be my guess.

Most likely.

[symple19]

I really fucking want the USA to win, but unfortunately reality is real

0-1 Kingdom, but the US will advance to the next round

[Sense]

England 2-1 USA

[urunobili]

USA wins 2-0

[velik_m]

Hoping for a draw.

[Pelicans78]

I like USA 3-1. Buddle scores 2 goals, Donovan scores one late to put it away.

[sonic21]

England wins 3-1


Hat trick for Rooney
OG by David James

[ElNono]

This has USA written all over it. I do expect Rooney to score though...

[sefant77]

lol british goalkeepers :rollin

But still no way in hell USA scores more than 1 goals.

Cool story about your nephew.:lol

I'm going out to catch the game, go England!!

[MannyIsGod]

Gonna beat that English ass like its 1776.

[TDMVPDPOY]

england has shit gk anyway

but i expect them to comfortably beat the US team 3 goals or more with the USA scoring 1 goal as a consolation prize mercy rule

[symple19]

Unbelievable, the US will have more fans at the game than the Brits, per ESPN (8,000 to 6,000). Sam's Army ready to represent!!!

Wonder who the locals will lean towards???

[NRHector]

Let's go USA is time to kick some bloody English ass

[TDMVPDPOY]

cant wait to see lampard choke again...

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Think i'll hav to support the Poms in this one.

If Australia somehow sneak through to the round of 16, then they will be facing the winner of this group.

For some reason id prefer the Aussies to play England. The hate between Aussies and Poms in sports is something i love to see :smokin Beat them in the Rugby last night :smokin

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

That's what they said in 2006 :smokin

[ffadicted]

Do people actually think this will be an interesting match and not an English massacre? I lol'ed so hard at the fucking ABC commentators at half-time on game 4, saying that this is the most anticipated match in the entire world cup (lmao), and that england vs. USA is like lakers vs. celtics times a thousand (LMAO!).

Americans are so funny sometimes, it's kinda sad. They just can't take being irrelevant at anything

[HarlemHeat37]

It's not really about actually believing it though, they just really need to hype it up..they need to say things like that to get viewers into the game, since this sport isn't as popular here..the casual fan isn't going to watch 90 minutes of action that becomes slow at times, unless he's really into the hype..

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I think one of the problems is that people overrate England.

They have to quit living on the glory of old days. They haven't won the world cup for 44 years.

[ffadicted]

Yeah I guess, it's still super hilarious though cuz they looked so serious about it

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

I've changed my mind. Screw the poms. It is time for the first upset of the tournament :smokin

GO USA !

[SAtown]

Should be a great match. I smell an upset

[DAF86]

Saving some exceptions no WC game is a massacre anymore, things have evened out.

idk man, I think Rooney is going to have the americans for breakfast lunch and dinner, or at least I hope so for my fantasy team sake, Ribbery didn't exactly help yesterday

[21_Blessings]

God Fuck The Queen

[symple19]

Look, for those Americans like myself who actually enjoy this game, it is a big fucking deal. Beating a country with which we have so much history is so much sweeter than defeating Spain or Mexico or some other random country.

To say the US is irrelevant is ridiculous. That may have been the case before 02', but is certainly not the case now. I'm not going to pretend that the US is more talented or better than the Brits in any way(except at the keeper position), but they absolutely have a chance if they play well. The roster is filled with guys who have big-time overseas experience, so it's not like the 90 or 94 teams that were badly overmatched practically every time they stepped onto the pitch.

Now, add in the propensity for England to choke, and the enormous pressure that country places on it's side, and you certainly have the ingredients for a US result.

I don't expect the US to win (as much as I'd like that to happen), but I also don't expect it to be an embarrassment.

USA USA USA!!!!

[marini martini]

God Fuck The Queen

:lmao:lmao:lmao

Go USA!!!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Everyone here (except the poms of course) loves an upset at the world cup, so i know Australia will be cheering the USA on :lol

same here with australia, we owned them at every sport ...

now if you americans played cricket and rugby would be nice...i dont know why you guys dont get involve in rugby since theres like alot of national sides that play it and rugby union worldcup is the next best thing besides soccer world cup outside of america...

Rugby is slowly gaining popularity, especially in the college ranks. Lack of a viable league will hamstring any serious development beyond the amateur ranks though. Very cool game

Cricket has no chance due to baseball being so similar and an American staple

[TDMVPDPOY]

fck i hate the coverage down here, a bunch of ex soccer players who aint good with the mic....

[symple19]

And yeah, beating your old colonial masters is out-fucking-standing (no matter the sport), no doubt. Aussies and Americans will always have that in common

You would hope so, considering Soccer is by far their top sport. It would be embarassing if they hadn't at least won one

[lefty]

Almost scored

[symple19]

Fuck, that was a great chance. Other than the disastrous lapse, the US looks pretty good thus far

[ffadicted]

Not a bad ball for the US, had Altidore not touched that, dempsey would've scored

[Spurologist]

Altidore should've finished that. Pathetic

[DAF86]

Gotta tighten up that defense.

[lefty]

Rooney :lmao

[Libri]

I did

You might have gotten it right. :wow :depressed

[SpursTillTheEnd]

WHERE THE FUCK IS EDSON Buddle THIS NIGGA CLARK SUCKS, FUCKING COACH PLAY BUDDLE AND TORRES SHIT

US has to keep attacking the Brits left back

[lefty]

Altidore is dangerous

[Spurologist]

play buddle and torres you piece of shit coach

you're reacting too much to the score but I've always preferred Torres over Clark. Bradley has his favorites

[Libri]

Crap!

[lefty]

Ouch

[lefty]

Man down !


Sarge !

[SpursTillTheEnd]

clark just got beat again god this mutherfucker sucks, findley has never scored a goal for the us he is a better sub, if buddle and torres dont strat or play we will lose every game

[DAF86]

Only thing Heskey is good at is at injuring players.

[symple19]

Please be okay Tim...

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

bring buddle in at the beginning of the 2nd half, he will score 2 goals and the US wins 2-1

[/end game]

[Spurologist]

England now has world class speed on the wings. Wright Phillips in for Milner

[symple19]

clark just got beat again god this mutherfucker sucks, findley has never scored a goal for the us he is a better sub, if buddle and torres dont strat or play we will lose every game

Findley's speed on the right side is what is needed right now. That's where the US has been getting most of it's chances

[boston.balla]

Random very probable predictions:

1. anyways it really don't matter ... brazil has one of the most balanced squads in years. Since 1994 they didn't play so well defensively and anybody in his right mind knows that even with 11 defenders they are a powerhouse offense (maicon & alves are better finishers than alot of GOOD strikers, ever seen lucio dribble? :toast)
So be on the look out for brasil at this cup, they have size, technique, balanced style, balanced roster, maybe best defense, stacked offense both individually and team style (they don't call em samba boys for nothing) and they play TOGETHER (as a team)

2. spain are a mentally weak team, don't see them as favorites (history + conf cup example + euro example where russia gave them a scare). Their deffense

3. portugal are a joke (lmao ronaldo never passes .. he makes kobe look like fucking magic johnson regarding the willingness to share a ball :lmao ).

4. algeria will be a HARD nut to crack

5. Germany will again grow as the tournament gets further with their no-nonsense style and most of all GRIT (think of them as the celts bench :lol)

6. france has no leader .. sky is blue

7. italy will be 1/8 at least .. people who watch soccer for more than 6-7 years understand why this is possible

8. argentina just blew away a golden generation with maradona's idiotic coaching. They'll do some damage but no zanetti, cambiasso, veron at 35, shaky defense .. it'll cost them

9. look out for south american teams .. the cup is not in europe and history tells a very relevant story

10. england has NO chance to win it all .. stop smoking the pipe, i don't care who they have on their team if they can't play like one

11. usa is the most overhyped team in the tournament... frankly i see them NOT passing the group stage or barely sneaking into 16s. Algeria will give them hell cause us can't hold midfiled against a good pressing side.

12. netherlands ALWAYS but ALWAYS have one bad game. They simply can't maintain consistency. Look at all the tournaments, all the games. They make great streaks of awesome play and then they lay an egg (generaly in the elimination games where they face good opposition => elimination)

[DAF86]

Tim Howard is world class.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lmao

that guy will be shot if they lose

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

cant help but feel a little sorry for Green. Imagine being him right now? lol

Are you English?

[EricB]

He totally Bill Bucknered that..
Hot damn.

[EricB]

I've saying over and over that the PremierLeague is overrated because their goalis suck

I mean, you shoot, you score, and you become an overrated star


English League = overhyped


You need to start up a thread for those of us trying to get into soccer but don't know where to start, and what league to follow and what not.

Having Conejo actually makes me fe good after seeing that.

[symple19]

US is in great shape right now. All the pressure has been transferred back to England. Just keep putting balls on frame and another will go in

USA!

Spanish Liga, Italian Calcio and Bundesliga are all superior to English League


That's right, Bundesliga; less hyped, but higher level

[SpursTillTheEnd]

naw english people sound weird as fuck they dont sound like Americans, this is my first time watching a soccer game on tv im watching on telemundo with these mexican commentators they make the game fun

Seriously, alot of the problem alot of americans have is there are like a bazillion leagues out there, and for those of us trying to get into it and follow it, we don't know anything.


I only know of the English premier league, and the Spanish league I believe.

Other than that, would love to get into Soccer and start following it. Its great stuff.

Yeah I've slightly heard about Spanish Liga but it seems Spain always has the best European teams.

For me It`s the other way around :lol


I would like to follow the MLS more, since the Montreal Impact will be part of it in 2012

[Banzai]

I've never seen a goalie attempt to block a ball and have it slip by into the net..must not happen very often.

The quality of the MLS has gotten a little better. A few years ago it was like watching a volley ball game.

[marini martini]

sux to be England right now!!!

Have no idea what that is.


I credit STSA, Mike Taylor is a futbol fan and really has sparked my interest.

I don't know. If you want to have fun watching the "beautiful game" La Liga is the best....then the Premier League then the Dutch league, then Bundesliga then French league. Italian league to me is a step down in terms of enjoying the game....best defensive league for sure.

[symple19]

it's the best sport on earth - just turn on fox soccer channel anytime one of the big leagues has a game on.

Champions league and the Euros are also top notch tourny's to tune into

[marini martini]

England's goalie needs to take off his Mickey Mouse gloves!!!!!:lmao

[xellos88330]

What kind of keeper can't handle the ground ball. Stroke of luck for the US!

Keep it up USA! You can do it!

[quentin_compson]

Are you English?

No, but I'm rooting for England.

I would like to see Torres in there.

i agree Bundesliga is underrated. But please spanish league have one great team, one good team (not good enough too go far in the CL though) and average team.

[DAF86]

Why?

A middle of the table team in Spain won the UEFA CUP.

[TampaDude]

Wow...that was an UGLY goal to tie the game...cheap, but we'll take it!

Spanish League = LA Lakers; Flair, great players, champions, mix of D
Italian League = Spurs (Championship spurs :lol); best defensive league, always contenders
Bundesliga = Mavericks; up and down but can peak if they're on fire
Dutch League = Golden State Warriors; great flow and possession but not quite up there with the elite
French League = Orlando Magic; always a threat

My best assessment....could be dead wrong

[symple19]

ENG US
8(3) Shots (on Goal) 7(3)
6 Fouls 4
4 Corner Kicks 3
2 Offsides 2
50% Time of Possession 50%
1 Yellow Cards 1
0 Red Cards 0
2 Saves 2

Not exactly an embarrassing performance thus far by the yanks. Can't believe possession is 50/50. Huge coup for the US

[symple19]

dp

[quentin_compson]

Why?

Hm, hard to say. I've always liked England, and since '92, I've never been a fan of the German team. They also played pretty atrocious football up to '06.

Anyway, England's performance was really poor after their early goal. I hope Capello tore them a new one and they are able to respond.

[DAF86]

indeed, all the good team are in the CL.

If the Spanish league is so crappy why didn't a middle of the table team of another league won that tournament? Remember that Atletico beat Liverpool (a supossed English powerhouse) in that tourney.

[velik_m]

I'm guessing Hart will start next game. :lol

I think the best way is to pick a team you like and then follow them in whatever competitions they play and root for them. It's much more fun if you have a "stake" in the game.

On a side note: the USA jerseys look kinda... scotish.

No way. The Premiereship may have issues with goalkeeping, but it's still the best league in the world.

[DAF86]

Howard is a beast.

[ffadicted]

Good save by Howard, but what a fucking shitty strike man

[velik_m]

Anyway, England's performance was really poor after their early goal. I hope Capello tore them a new one and they are able to respond.

No, they pulled back and defended, just like a good italian team...

[tlongII]

Great save by Howard there!
