I was quite impressed with the USA team. They attacked well. Tending could have been better and might be a problem especially with Korea.Originally posted by chodadog
The Americans actually played really well, and deserved that win.
79 million hits. Man, I would love to have a banner here:

Hmm, dominate? Um okay. That said, I was might proud of our performance against portugal. We only drew against Korea but that is better than losing.
England, however, beat Argentina! That, my dears, is a MUCH bigger scalp with much more history behind it.
I have said in the past to my British friends that my generation (I'm 25) is the first to grow up playing football (soccer) in school. Also, most of the people on that team were getting into the football about the time we had the World Cup. I say give it about 12 years or so and we will be at the level where we are dismissed out of hand at the start of World Cups.
However, there is no way we are going to get better than every other nation in the world unless we start eating, sleeping, and breathing football like so many other countries do. We all know that isn't going to happen.
Also, I think the success may have something to do with less of the American players playing in exhaustive leagues around Europe. So many of the players on the other teams have come off of very long seasons from the various clubs they play for the rest of the time. Beyond basic tiredness this also breeds injuries..that is something the UK knows much about.<a href="http://www.wishing.com/money">Make 50% commissions promoting our penis pills, breast pills, weight loss pills and more!</a>

How can the USA not dominate most sports... we're like 5 times larger then most countries. yet when it comes to celebrating or cheering or whatever we seem like the smallest country...

America has not dominated the WolrdCup. They have a win & a tie game.
They are doing much better then expected but using the word "dominated" is silly. The world cup isn't even over yet.
Canada owns Hockey
Europe/South America owns Football
I guess America is best at: basketball/baseball/American Football
3 sports most of the world doesn't care about that much.Last edited by LoveAsianChicks; 06-10-2002, 11:19 AM.Comment

"dominated"... hahah
even the russian youth wheelchair soccer team could beat the usa.
i am amazed that the usa can't string together a decent size team. the country is huge for fucks sake.
i hope the usa make it through the rounds... resulting in a mass of american public showing interest in 'soccer'.
then it'll be funny as fuck to see argentina, brazil, england, denmark, spain, mexico, germany or italy wipe the floor with a 25-0 victory. then it'll be a case of, "soccer sucks, i never liked it anyway"Last edited by hahmike; 06-10-2002, 11:53 AM.Comment

More like it is loved by the majority of the world...USA just never caught on to it..big deal..it is doing just fine without us.
Hate to tell you but David Beckham would be more recognizable around the world than any NBA or NFL star you care to pick out of the hat.
Oh, and it is Football.<a href="http://www.wishing.com/money">Make 50% commissions promoting our penis pills, breast pills, weight loss pills and more!</a>

Of all the teams playing, only a few are from third worlds. Europe & Asian teams are not living in a third world and South American Countries are not classified as third world.
hahmike - USA tied Korea. (didn't win)Last edited by LoveAsianChicks; 06-10-2002, 11:43 AM.Comment

Well my sport is basbeball but it is hard to really follow it from this distance. It is on tv once, sometimes twice a week but in the middle of the night and never a team I care about. They are always west coast teams because of the time difference. Which is great for those people but not for Philly gals like me.
I played footie when I was a kid and my sister is just plain awesome at it (coaches now but was very good at school). It wasn't until i moved to Europe that I saw just how it dominates so much of the life outside of USA. I can't even say North America cause Mexico is footie mad too. I truly love it now and whats more I love knock out competions in general. So, the world cup is the perfect combo for me.
Btw..anyone in the UK needs to go to this link and down load their own mini motty.

all i know is when the wc was in the us, our little town hosted the brazilian team (los gatos, ca), and man, those bastards can party. every single day and night fans took to the streets getting all hammered, dancing around and shit with soccer balls and clothes flying around everywhere. this was every single day and night for over a month. partay.eventually, earth will lose.
enjoy it while it lasts.
