It will be a major victory if we get a win in our group. Maybe we can pull off a tie against Ghana, but they looked far superior to us today.<BR/><BR/>The 2002 World Cup was a fluke--we beat superior teams by nicking some counter-attacking goals and then hanging on for dear life while we conceeded possession and territory for the rest of the match. Every class team now knows that if they stay organized and disciplined defensively we don't have the attacking creativity to break them down.<BR/><BR/>Italy will shut down our time and space with the ball far more than the Czechs. If we were to pull off a win against Italy it would have to be one of the ugliest wins in history. Ghana will let us play a little more wide open game, so we'll look better against them.<BR/><BR/>The US was out of this thing when they drew Czech Republic, Italy and Ghana months ago. But who cares? I mean, I'm American and I'll root for them everytime, but we play some ugly, predictable ball. If you're watching the World Cup just for the US team you're either ignorant of the game or a masochist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-1150166400747600212006-06-12T21:40:00.000-05:002006-06-12T21:40:00.000-05:00You know I can take getting our tails handed to us...You know I can take getting our tails handed to us by the Czechs if we would have just put out some friggin effort. I realize that we are extremely overrated, but come on. What a gutless, heartless, chicken crap performance. Games like this make it easy for soccer detractors in this country to just rail on the sport even more. <BR/> Eddie Johnson looked liked he was the only one out there who wasn't intimidated...and he was a sub. Convey was ok. Julie Foudy's sports bra was dead on about Donovan. I did however, like that Arena called some people out, but he made some questionable decisions with the lineup, i.e. Beasley on the right.

"Our best athletes play _______", right?<BR/><BR/>Previous posters have talked about how the US is getting its ass handed to it in international competition in ALL sports; baseball, basketball, hockey, etc. It's not just "soccer" anymore.<BR/><BR/>The problem is not that our best athletes play sports other than soccer. <B>The problem is that our best athletes are sh*tty teammates.</B> The stars in American sports are rewarded for "me first" behavior. Look at T.O.. Look at Iverson... Bonds... A-Rod...the list is endless.<BR/><BR/>Landon Donovan has been put forth as the great soccer hope in the USA, but the selfish little p*ssy is too scared to play his game in Europe where the best players in the world ply their trade. He's selfish... we treat him like a star, he gets his money from sponsors, but he isn't willing to do the work necessary to <B>become</B> a star.<BR/><BR/>Soccer is not popular here in the US because it is a <B>true</B> TEAM sport. You don't kick the ball into the corner and then clear out the penalty area to allow your striker to back down into the spot and drill the kick in from 2 feet away. It takes a lot of teamwork to actually score in the game.<BR/><BR/>Now, go back to your soccer is gay jokes... if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, go for it. But get used to being a freaking joke in international sports, because that time is here and now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-1150152789661794012006-06-12T17:53:00.000-05:002006-06-12T17:53:00.000-05:00i want to say that the u.s. sucks because we don't...i want to say that the u.s. sucks because we don't care. but we got our aces kicked in the baseball classic. and the euros are showing up yankee b-ballers now.Jay Clendeninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145686550513330155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-1150150157452338522006-06-12T17:09:00.000-05:002006-06-12T17:09:00.000-05:00MR, that's the second-funniest thing I've heard to...MR, that's the second-funniest thing I've heard today. <BR/>Jess, the Mavs usher, this morning on the Musers was the funniest.<BR/> <BR/>When he was talking about he said he told some retarded kid inthe Mavs huddle, "this isn't part of your make a wish program".
