A bit Off Topic but.... IF the US wins the World Cup, will soccer/football become MORE POPULAR in the USA?
The US won't win the World Cup, let's be realistic here
BUT, we will surely make the quarter finals (USA), mark my words - these idiots give props to N. Ireland for beating England, when N. Ireland is #116 in FIFA World Rankings and then they say Panama sucks, Panama's rankings are twice as better!!! Cmon
I have to laugh at this AdnerAdvertising guy quoting these rankings.
The U.S have never had a strong international football team. Over the years they have had some decent players playing in our premiership but internationally they are not strong and I`m not convinced they ever will be because of the nature of the game.
I remember in one of the international tournaments a few years back, the U.S supporters in the crowd cheered their team whenever the ball was pumped forward from defence which was quite laughable.
England internationally are not a decent outfit right now but the English league is as strong as any in world football.

I defended the UK team and this is the thanks I get? Like I said, wait for Germany 06, my point was made and don't get mad because FIFA ranked us above the UK
a lot easier to qualify when you play against teams like el salvador and the bahamas
They ended leading the CONCACAF FIFA sector, and played great teams like Mexico and like I said earlier, UK just LOST to NORTH IRELAND when PANAMA (who we beat the crap out of) is ranked WAY higher than N. IRELAND - so keep talking your smack, and wait?!!? Israel? That where you're from/Cheering for?
hey stop taking the piss, I watched the game, we played shit - shaun wright philips kept spooning his passing & everything else. odds were like 14-1 - hope you placed some BIG bets.
I think the US team are good personally - watched them several times before on TV.

No need to defend our International team, England are an embarrassment at the moment. Congrats to the Northen Irish on beating us.
I hope your team does well in the finals...just remember that some of the teams they maybe playing will be some decent nations.

great teams like mexico? No you played mexico, no other good teams. What you dont understand is that the rankings are totally stupid, they are ranking teams that DONT play against each other. You cant read the rankings like a league, because EVERYONE knows, if panama was in europe they would be close to bottom

Whatever you call it in your shit country, Germany 2006 will show you the power of the US Football Team -
(oh and btw, I don't give a fuck where you are from lol, just love your ignorance)
Man, the US has made some significant strides in the last 5 or so years, but they have a long way to go. FIFA rankings have been notoriously unreliable. There are teams in Europe that won't even qualify for the world cup that are better than the US. It'll be at least another 15 years before the US really starts to make a name for itself in football, and it'll be a very very long time indeed before they bring home any trophies.

If you're gonna make dumb posts at least make it correct. The UK is not a team, All countries have their own team. Scotland, England, Wales, N. Ireland.

Northern Ireland has produced world renowned players such as George Best. Even Pele himself once said that George Best was the best football player he had ever seen. Name one US player who has had such kudos? Despite the FIFA rankings, Northern Ireland's team is still better than the US team. And even so, good teams lose to lesser sides all the time. If they didn't, teams who won leagues around the world would be undefeated, wouldn't they?
England's team is better than Northern Ireland's team. Just wasn't their day. I certainly don't fancy England's chances at this or any other world cup. But they're a long way ahead of the US and the bookies will rate them accordingly.

George Best was by far the most talented soccer player of the past century. Too bad he didn't last long

nigga please
Israel's group consists of France, Rep. of Ireland, Switzerland, Cyprus and Faroe Islands and Israel still has a realistic chance for qualifying (at least from the 2nd place)
USA group: Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Trinidad & Tobago, Panama...
Now if you look in the shitty and meaningless FIFA rankings, France is ranked lower then MEXICO?? WTF? France won the 98 world cup and 2002 European Championships... and they rank lower then mexico? this is too funny
Iran is ranked higher then Sweden, Denmark... NIGGA
USA ranked higher then ENGLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, SPAIN, ITALY
bahahaha
I'm not saying for sure that Israel is better then USA in footbal... because there is also no way to check this for sure...
what I do know if that a couple of shitty players that couldn't find their place in the Israeli league, now play in the MLS...
We "american mother fuckers" are #6 in FIFA rankings - and have already classified to the World Cup 4 days before this game
well yeah , easy, this is based on recent performances
75% of the MLS is made by latin americans who got their citizenship in a week OR european retirees.

If my country's team beats your country's team, then I am better than you, and I will make thousands of posts proclaiming my greatness over you. Nevermind the fact that I never even played on the team, and my biggest contribution involved sitting on the couch watching the game on TV and consuming large amounts of beer and junk food, I am truly a champion who deserves praise for my accomplishment of simply being a citizen of the same country as the people who actually did play on the team which won the game. I am the greatest person in the history of the world!
I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.
