Half Time USA 2 Brazil 0... Are you Kidding me?

[mookie2001]

these guys stink

[Obstructed_View]

I couldn't care less if the US is legit at soccer or not. That's the point.

You don't care about the subject yet you're posting in the thread. You just like ting on things. We get it.

Imagine if Kobe played soccer for Team USA. They'd be #1 in the universe.

[MannyIsGod]

Not a terrible result. The US team against Brazil the first time and had a rough break against Italy but otherwise looked very good in this tournament.

[MannyIsGod]

I think the US was ranked 14th in the world prior to this tournament. They'll undoubtedly go up after this.

Just because most mainstream sports fans don't care about a team doesn't mean they aren't good. Seems like a Spurs fan of all people would be aware of that.

FIFA rankings are never accurate.

Obviously, since the US beat Spain.

hey i'm just talking to mono and mookie

Man, when you get butt hurt you get butt hurt.

I wouldn't say they're actually in the top 15, top 30 more likely. They've been improving with every tournament for the past decade though.

Not really - the last WC was a step back from 2002. 2002 was incredible but 2006 was fairly horrible overall. They haven't looked that great in qualifying either but this tournament was very good.

Damarcus Beasly needs to stay out of games and they need to keep playign Altadore. I really liked what I saw from him in this tourney.

To be fair, they were in the Group of Death in 2006 with Italy, Ghana, Czech - I wasn't realistically expecting them to advance. Either way, this tourney is a great confidence boost.

[BlackSwordsMan]

choked in the finals like dallas

[BlackSwordsMan]

for a twist of irony the game should end at 4-2

[jack sommerset]

Oh well. They gave it a nice shot.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Good effort though.

man when i read this the first time i read it as need to not play Altadore.


Ya Beasley not playing is what I enjoy seeing. That asshole sucks.


All in all, I'll take it. Its a good opportunity to test your mettle against national powers. Hopefully it springs us to good things next summer.

I really dont think the USA cares how they do in qualifying cause they are gonna get in without playing their best.

This thread FAILS

[Spurs Brazil]

I shouldn't have opened this thread.... I ing jinxed them

This thread remind me those games when the Grizzilies are up 15 against Mavs or Lakers and someone start a thread and in the end LA or Mavs win.

This was a big jinx urunobili.

I don't like Brazil coach and some players. I'd rather lose to see some changes.

[baseline bum]

I'd rather watch a rerun of all seven games of the Lakers-Rockets series than a half of soccer.

soccer is what our 4 year olds play to teach them what a whistle, coach, and uniform is

no soccer is the sport parents make their kids play when they are younger because they want them to be active and make them feel good about themselves but they want to protect their kids from failure. If their kids play baseball they stand the chance of striking out 4 times a game or missing a catch. If they play football they might break bones, if they play basketball they might miss free throws and feel bad about themselves. Soccer is the sport you can play without ever touching the ball. It's a sport for people with loser mentality. This is why so many kids play but stop once they get older when it becomes acceptable to be a kid who does something besides playing sports. When you are under 13 just about every kid plays some sport, and the ones that play soccer are the ones who aren't good at anything else. Soccer is the sport where everyone appears to be on the same level, and as a kid you can't suck at soccer. That's loser mentality

[IronMexican]

Lol, USA soccer

[resistanze]

lol, people saying soccer is boring then mentioning baseball
