[Spurtacular]

This is the only World Cup I rooted for Italy. They were the best team with the best player.

Incidentally, 94 or 10 was probably the best chance for an African team to make a final or win it.

When West Germany had the psychological edge over France
France was much better in 86 yet they got kicked out by the Germans lol

Oh well :lol

Also.: good chocking back 2 back home games vs Israel and Bulgarie in the 94 WC qualifiers :lol

Not close. That was an opening free range exhibition. This was knockout.

Then in the next game against Brazil they were ahead 2-0 at halftime.

It was the US that beat the would-be 10 WC Champs in the 09 Confederations Cup Semi and snapped their 35 game unbeaten streak!
That didn't stop the ST wankers from talking sh** in subsequent years. It was all somehow a fluke.

We went up 2-0 on Brazil in the first half of the final. Then the wheels fell off.
Like I said before, losing Charlie Davies then hurt us at the 10 WC. We were a serious dark horse contender with him.

Good reaction videos to the JB goal on YT. Even better for the ones to Donovan in 10 Algeria IMO.

Dempsey's quick goal in that game was even more epic, IMO. That was years of pent-up vengeance in one sweet solo attack right off.

I'm not for it. I think that's what the WC is for. Though I'd possibly be for having the WC every three years instead of four to give these great players and teams more of a chance at glory.

The upside would be watching the US get to play against better competition than these Central American minnows.

The winner of the match between the two teams that won the Gold Cups (two years apart) play in the Confed Cup. IIRC, the US had won both GC's and didn't have to play the playoff.

[FrostKing]

The winner of the match between the two teams that won the Gold Cups (two years apart) play in the Confed Cup. IIRC, the US had won both GC's and didn't have to play the playoff. Otherwise, it seems like it's always Mexico going to the Confed Cup. That's the only one I even remember us being in. B/C of that, Mexican fans have an inflated sense of dominance. But there's a reason they always get knocked out in the Round Of 16 at the WC. And a big part of that is they get easy draws and have made that round when they otherwise wouldn't have.
Mexico is a respectable rival. The planned assault they executed versus the Germans in recent WC

Mexicans love Germans. The music with accordion is from Oktoberfest. The quality lager beer

[Spurtacular]

Bradley, Davies, Altidore, Donovan, Dempsey. All young and prime.

Algeria had a lot of good teams.
82 pretty good.
10 good; but Dempsey wasn't offside so it should've been 1-0 already. Then again, you hit the crossbar on a shot. Heartbreaking.
14 You took the champion Germans to extra time. That Schurle goal was one of the most impressive goals ever for those kind of stakes.

10 was a mixed bag ; some good young talent that should have plaed more, some grumpy entitled veterans and some tourist; when we played offensive and didn't give a fuck about defense we were pretty good, before that WC we beat even beat Uruguay (it was a friendly but they had all their stars including Suarez, Forlan etc and we were missing players due to injury) - but for some reason the coach decided to park the bus for the whole World Cup - FUCK HIM; it's like asking a d'Antoni team to try and emulate Riley's Knicks, that wasn't going to work

14 was better than 10, but 82 would skull fuck both of them combined

82 team was good in "half court" but incredibly deadly in counter attack; in fact I'll go as far it was one oof the best counter attacking teams I've ever seen; we had 2 great playmakers, 2 fantastic wingers, and 1 false 9; all of our players were homegrown
Some of our players were wanted by some of the biggest clubs of the World but our FA had a stupid law that said that you had to be 25 and over if you wanted to leave te Algerian League :lol
When they were older / and or the law was lifted, it was too late; some said fuck it I'm better at home, some got major injuries
Another one helped Porto to win their fiest UEFA Champions League title and had 2 moves to Bayern and Inter botched by failed medicals :lol
