    USA Soccer - the bottom line

    Heres the bottom line...

    Within a few years America will have the best soccer team. Just like every other sport, our $ and influence will bring over the best players.

    So get used to seeing us win

    Have a nice day!

      Eventually all the great soccer players playing in these 3rd world countries will realize that all the hot women & $ are in the U.S. and well, maybe Canada.

      So stay tuned.....

      I think 5 years from now Canada & the U.S. will dominate pretty much everything, including soccer

        In fact, i think America & Canada should merge into one giant Dominating Force & rule the world.

        But i guess thats a little far fetched eh?

              First you have to learn to call it "football".

                Really? I've got no problems myself.....

                I'm just sick of seeing everyone calling Americans fags when it comes to "football". You'll get yours, just wait.

                        Well, Canada suffered alot of casualties over there. All at the hands of US bombs.

                            There was an old saying during WW2
                            When the Germans bombed... the British ran
                            When the British bombed the... Germans ran
                            When the Americans bombed.. everyone ran

                            hmmmm....reminds me of the Gulf War where 12? British SAS were killed by US bombs......biggest casualities were inflicted on our side by "our side"..........

                              you'd think a country near the size of europe could string together a decent soccer team, rather than putting a bunch of boyband fags out onto the pitch.

                                    yeah, but like i said, its all down to size.

                                    imagine that europe was one country, bringing it to roughly the size of the usa. english, german, dutch, french, and all the other country's players rolled into one. that soccer team would be near unbeatable.

                                    but comparing usa to a country like england, or comparing england to the usa, by either of the two saying "we're the best" (england is roughly the size of oregon i believe) is pretty unfair be it soccer or any other sport.

                                    its like comparing britain to a tiny island in the pacific ocean.

                                    just like brazil. huge country where soccer is a popular sport. hence, they're good at it - there have to be some GOOD players in that 175 million population. pretty unfair comparing it to something like estonia that managed to string together a team from only a 1.5 million population.

                                      Vegas im too much of a pussy to bet real $ on something.

                                      As for the rest of you jumping my ass for this post, i could really give a shit about soccer, i think its a retarded sport anyways.
                                      I played when i was a kid & was pretty good at it, but then by the time i turned 12 i realized that American Football was the sport for me

                                      Actually i wish america didn't play European football, they need something to win at.

                                            same reason usa doesn't have a good team... soccer isn't big over there. india is into cricket. fuck only knows what china is into.

                                            if soccer was as popular in the usa as it is in places like italy and brazil then the usa would surely have a good team. even i could string together a good team given the usa's 270 million population.

                                            sure the usa excels in many of its popular sports. its a big country, it has big resources. the population is huge! when you have such a big population there have to be good sportsmen that excel in their own niche, be is basketball, hockey, "football", baseball or otherwise.

                                            more or less, its down to size. you'll hardly ever see a smaller country with a smaller 2 million population excel in a sport such as soccer. of course there are always exceptions.

                                            england has around a 60 mil population. a smaller country shouldn't be much of an opposition in soccer. but bring together the best players from 30 smaller countries (30*2mil popul. =60mil popul. ) and it'll be one hell of a competitor for the england team.

                                            more or less, its all down to size.

                                            seems that cheating is popular in russia. when it comes down to the sport of professional cheating, russia would cream any other country by far. hence, i proved my theory. ;)

                                              Funny thing is, the only reason most smaller European countries are even around, is because they are tax havens for wealthy American business men

                                              Wonder if Montecarlo has a soccer team?

                                                England will win the World cup, mark my words.....Americans have the money but no talent. Look at the Brazilians, from the age of 4 they play football from sunrise to sunset, thats why they have the silky skills.

                                                  precisely.

                                                  and playing soccer on sand takes quite some skill...

                                                  i'd hope that england could cream brazil after their argentina performance. plus brazil like to show off and it could be their downfall... yet, i still have my doubts as any other soccer fan would. brazil are surely no walk-over.

                                                    Within a few years America will have the best soccer team. Just like every other sport, our $ and influence will bring over the best players.

                                                    So get used to seeing us win

                                                    Have a nice day!
                                                    you're not thinking that the $ and the women is already there...

                                                    A good match in one of the 3rd world countries generates revenues in the millions of dollars, during league play, you have 20 or so games during the weekend (depending on the country)

                                                    Now... soccer players, DO make a lot of cash, they are rich and have celebrity status in 100 or so countries...

                                                    in the USA, people don't give a fuck about soccer (I don't really give a fuck about it either, it's just another sporting event)

                                                    Simply, to be able to pull the cash to get say, Zidane (worlds #1 player, valuated around 60 million usd) into a US Soccer team
                                                    you need two things:

                                                    1) An investor, who would be looking to get his money back as soon as possible...

                                                    2) Masses of people to go see the games...which is what will give the investor his money back...

                                                    See? simply put, no one is going to invest into US soccer, because there is no real ROI here (no one in their own mind would do it)...

                                                    BTW, there was an attempt to create a US soccer league, to put it bluntly, it's not there anymore

                                                      Afghanistan was never our war. It never will be either.
                                                      You left because your countries weak ass economy cant afford it anymore.


                                                      The Canadian defense minister, Art Eggleton, told reporters Tuesday in Ottawa that the combat mission in Afghanistan has stretched the country's resources, explaining why the troops will not be replaced.



                                                      You people never heard of friendly fire?

                                                      Hell, Israel blew up an entire ship of ours with a missile, you hear us whining and taking our toys and going home?

                                                      It has to be an easy mistake to make. From 100 yards you all look like sand ******s.

Most of their fathers were lawyers/doctors/engineers. I mean hell, the soccer moms all drive $50,000 Sport Utility Vehicles.
