I would be surprised to see them do well this year. First, we always have a problem scoring goals because we are very week in the middle. We arent any stronger this year in the midfield. HOWEVER, we suffered some key losses that will affect our offensive abilities even more... we just wont score enough goals... also, we have defenders who still really arent healthy.
Gonna be hard for a team that really isnt that talented AND struggling with injuries
sorry last post here for a while but i cant tell you how happy i am that africa is hosting the world cup. it makes me proud to see it even if it is south africa its still on the continent. my co workers (white) always say negative things and wondered about it (travelig to africa) if the stadiums would be up in time etc. i had no doubt about it africa is more than capable of holding an event on this large of a scale and do it well without any incident. im proud to be african american and even prouder that my ancestors are from the great continent of africa.
those who arent attending this year's world cup for silly reasons ( i know of at least 3 ppl who wanted to go but because it is in africa they aren't) good riddance africa doesnt need you and you're just missing out. hope you enjoy the view from home

yes because joze altidore is just as much an athlete as the elite ones i named.
and shaq as a goal keeper at 7 1 with his wingspan and the way he can move his big body? specially considering he doesnt have to go past 15 yards the entire game...
you gtfoh...in 15 days
and all you bum asses keep leaving out the fact that i clearly said every time that if they dedicated heir lives to soccer like they did to their sports which means they develop technique etc.. smh half reading ass

IFS, BUTS, MAYBES,
just stfu with all the excuses, u dont think other countries have different sports as well. u have enough resources to get a good team out there and pick 23 out of a few 10s million male 16-39 year olds. USA are not good at Football. accept it. I dont hear the aussies talking about, soccer is out 5th most popular sport.. only from USA.

no, they don't. no sport matters as much as soccer does to the rest of the world period. american sports that we love live and die by only matter to us. soccer is the sport of the entire globe to deny this is to just be silly. done with you

We do have more sports that most countries. For instance, in Brazil, men play football and that is it. A very small part of the population may play volleyball and even a smaller amount basketball as it is getting more popular here with a few brasilian players playing in the NBA. However, the best athletes here in Brasil and most of South America play football.
The best athletes in the U.S. tend to play basketball and american football and then are sparsed between other sports like baseball, hockey, etc.
The reality of the matter is that soccer is not a desirable sport for our most talented young athletes because is lacks status in the U.S. Kids dont grow up wanting to be soccer players in the U.S.
One day you may have a young barry sanders or deion sanders pick up soccer early instead of football... but I still think we are a couple of decades away from that in the U.S.
The reality of the matter is that our best athletes dont choose soccer and there are very few countries that have as many professional sports as the U.S... so it IS a legitimate argument.
Doesnt change the fact that we are not good in football... but there are definitely some other factors contributing to it...
finally some sense.
instead of arguing with emotions and hate for america just look at the facts that's all im saying. our best athletes chose basketball and football. if they had chosen soccer from the young age like they chose those other sports, who knows how great we'd be
we arent though and thats a fact
case in point. if we wouldve lost this past olympics with the talent assembled we would still be reeling from it and wouldnt forget it until the next olympics. if we lose the world cup, we go eh well least they made it and move on.
country x if you lose the world cup, that's it for your hopes and dreams for 4 years
doesnt mean that much to us and in turn doesnt mean anything to our greatest athletes
they grow up here dreaming of catching or throwing the winning touchdown in the super bowl or hitting the fade away jumper with 1 second left to win the nba championship
not kicking the winning goal

Our American sports dont even matter as much as soccer does in other countries. These mofos down here shoot off fireworks during regular games. My neighborhood sounds like a warzone when Sao Paulo and Corinthians play...the entire city shuts down...just for a regular game...
You can get beat to death wearing the wrong team jersey after a game here...mofos are almost ready to disown family members for being fans of rival teams
there was even a movie down here made about that shit....We like our sports... people LOVE soccer... they live it.
Cosign. We can't dominate world football until we have the same AAU setup that finds talent and develops it that we have for basketball et al. When I was in HS I knew people on the Olympic developmental team and I was shocked by their lack of ability/physical talent. Though we have made progress,(didn't Dempsey grow up in a trailer in Texas) it still seems that we focus too much on developing white, suburban talent. I always think that some of the great HS and college option quarterbacks would have been beasts on the pitch. Look at how awkward/unimpressive physically Dirk Kuyt is and then imagine an Iverson type on a pitch.
The ny times actually ran a great article on the academy systems in Europe today:

Cosign again. haha. I think its because the teams represent more than just sports. They represent politics, religion et al. Look at clubs like Madrid, Bilbao, Barcelona, Rangers, Celtic, Roma, Lazio et al. When you watch highlights from Chelsea/Barca and see Celtic fans wildly celebrating with the Catalans in stamford bridge, you see how little sport has to do with it.

yep the story behind that was figo. figo started that whole bullshit. i think it was in the champions league he got one of the holland players send off for a foul that that he faked.
that whole game was a revenge match. the dutch came in to kick some ass and portugal was like fuck that you ant a piece of this ,aight.

Re: >>> OFFICIAL WORLD CUP THREAD <<< ...Discuss....

In the sport of football, in which people try and send their best people, Jozy Altadore will find people who will run as fast if not faster, who handle ball far much better, who have more guile and knowledge of tactics. He will discover that in being a king in the land of the blind means nothing.
Shaq maybe 7'1, other countries have 7 footer as well. Good goal keeping is moe about reflexed than it is about size. Some of the best goal keepers are small, as is Casillas of Real Madrid, as was Jorge Campos of Mexico...
Quit imagining that you have physical advantages, because you do not...

I do not see the problem... Europeans cheat against others all the time..and get away with it. Furthermore, it is difficulty to say with objectivity that Korea were rough if only one side of the story is available..
With his overall speed, quickness, and endurance
There would be people just as fast if not faster. This is the world's sport, and every country puts fort its best players. Furthermore, he would have to have skill, since speed without skill is useless..
You are what you are.. You can cry all you want, but you more than 300 million people, and more than 2x the money of the next richest country... What we are seeing is what we are seeing.
