You may be right idk..

They really are. Only team I somewhat expect something from is senegal.
 
Again and again and again. The same old story. To be honest the first goal was a fluke. But Nigeria has not shown anything going forward.

Exactly. All of that youth/pace and no real strategy to take advantage. Is there not one Nigerian striker who offers any sort of hold up play? They were really crying out for that...

Lol no they won’t
You can’t name 1 good young Nigerian central midfielder, and that’s the problem for every African nation (except the Arab ones smh)

Mikel was the "creativity" in the midfield tonight. Let that sink in....
 
:eek2:

We've stepped it up in recent years yes, minus some blunders here and there, but idk if CAF is THAT weak.

On par perhaps, but I can't see our 4th place team beating theirs more times than not.

Let's see if more than 1 African side get to the Round of 16.
 
that fool Etebo was keeping the ball to long. he walking with it the whole time. this how important creativity is and to be able to give the pass.
 
Dude i am talking about now. You talking about 12 years ago.
12 years ago ain't a long time. It's only 3 World Cup cycles. That's still modern history, which makes it relevant but I digress.

As for this current cycle, I can see the teams being on par with each other for sure. We'll see how the CONCACAF teams fair soon.

Where did the US go in 2006?

I meant the quarters appearance in 2002 where the US were robbed by Germany.

12 years is long....teams change drastically. In 6 years winning mutiple trophies look at what happen to Spain and France. Spain got embarassed last year while France didn't even make the knockout stage in 2002.

Costa Rica not only went to the quarter finals 4 yrs ago and lost in penalty shootout, they top their group that consist of Uruguay, Italy, England.
 
whats in those tecos , mexicans are relentless , still think germany will win though , have to or else am out of pocket on a bet
 
There we go. Great half from Mexico.

All those counters finally beared fruit. Now they gotta keep the pressure on Germany and go for the second one to kill this game off completely
 
I'm just happy we're finally seeing some football and not the muggings we've been seeing. Strangely enough by eastern european and scandinavian teams. Beat the shit out of you and bunker.
 
How is us woman’s soccer one of the best teams in the world but the men’s team is straight ass? Missed this years World Cup missed the olympics a few years ago... where is the disconnect t between the men’s and woman’s game

Elite American female athletes participate in a much more diverse array of sports, especially soccer. The best of the best participate.

Unfortunately our elite male talent does not give a second look to soccer.

So males basicically have more options to get a free education through sports than females?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Elite male athletes have options in the pros where they can make big bucks so they pursue those sports. Women have no pro leagues where they can make millions (well, a few stars can) so they don't pursue those sports.

It’s just not on the radar of boys growing up. Until we have kids growing up kicking a soccer ball round, the same way they’d be playing catch or dribbling a ball, we will not be elite.
