    there might be big dogs but only 3 teams keep winning world cups: Italy, Brazil and Germany

    out of 18 world cups, those 3 have won 12

    world cup. The same s keep winning.

    my point is USA will never will one, but that is irrelevant cause 99% of countries will never win one either.

    Italy/Brazil/Germany

    No, in football is 100 times easier for less talented teams to pull an upset.

    one more thing while we are on the subject. Besides those 3 teams. Only 2 teams have won it outside their homeland:

    - Uruguay in Brazil: Look up the term Maracanazo = biggest upset in history of sports
    - Argentina in Mexico: Maradona = best individual WC performance in history

    while I am on a role. Do you know why Brazil plays so loose in WC??

    because of the maracanazo. No Brazil defeat will ever match that, they have already taken the worst defeat in their history out of the way, who wouldn't play loose?

    Yes, but usa suck so bad. There best players are scrubs in the premiership and when an old david beckham is (was) the biggest star in the american league then you've got a really bad national squad. I'm not saying england are gonna win (although it's our best chance since gazza and co choked against germany on penalties) but this england squad should sweep the group stage.

    I doubt that a game that took place a hundred years ago has any effect on current Brazilian players.

    it does. I have spoken to brazilian soccer players, it's fresh in their memory.

    Worst upset in history of sports.

    USA beat Spain in the confederation cup, Spain >>>>> England, and make no mistake about it: Spain wanted to win that match badly, they wanted to play Brazil in the final to prove they are the best National squad in the world right now.

    I'm not saying the US has a better squad than England, I just have a feeling.

    Spain took USA lightly

    I bet you that if they meet up again, Spain will beat the out of them

    The only USA players that have actually excelled in the EPL are goalkeepers.

    I guess.. I'm still pissed at us not qualifying for the euro cup after hiring a dumbass coach. In the grand scheme of things there are only a few contenders but like you say upsets can happen

    USA is the underdog. I think they will surprise alot. Dont underestimate em.

    England has sucked over the recent years. They can't seem to play solid together as a team nor do they look motivated and they need a proper coach.

    They do have good players, so that isnt the problem.

    Dempsey is good and I'm a big fan of his game but do you think that he is a top 10 player at his position in the EPL?

    Last season, Brad Friedel was 10th, among all goalkeepers, with a goal against average (GAA) of 1.26 and 13 shutouts. This season he is currently 2nd with 0.86 GAA and 8 shutouts.

    Last season, Tim Howard was 6th with a 0.97 GAA and 17 shutouts. He is currently 11th with a GAA 1.62 and 4 shutouts. He was a top five goalkeeper in 2006-07 and 2007-08.

    We still haven't seen much of Brad Guzan but he could become another great USA goalkeeper.
