Well done my across the great big pond type Friends.
(https://psx5central.com/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsportsmed.starwave.com%2Fmedia%2Fsoc%2F2002%2F0605%2Fphoto%2Fa_landon_ht.jpg&hash=ef9eecef8b8c715358bfb8e891a2e1718a425422)
Group D
The United States 3-2 Portugal
Woot on...USA WOOT ON :fro: :thepimp: :nerd:
-
And U.S. doesn\'t even care about Soccer.
-
This is what I\'m talking about, here we come, we gonna go all the way.
-
But damn, there are alot of little kids that play it here.
-
Well in a whole we don\'t ever hear about it. My school actually has 4 soccer teams.
-
Well, I\'ve actually been payin\' attention to the stuff (having a summer vacation with nothing to do will do that to you), and I must say, that game ruled.
Stupid Cocky Wannabe Spaniards, that\'s what you get for not actually paying attention to us. Now, lets just beat South Korea...then get our asses kicked by Portugal after they beat Poland and South Korea...meh.
See Yuz.
-
Oh goodie they won! I like to play tennis too! j/k. I hope that they go all the way ( Doubt it )
-
The match was pathetic. Portugal didn\'t anything. GO USA !! :D
PD: good thread title ooseven :laughing:
-
awwww yeah!
portugal is really good to arent they?
-
the U.S team did play good today, maybe if they keep playing this way they would be able to come out as the top team of their group
-
yeah uke portugal are very good, ranked 5th in the world!!!!
man usa really impressed... go usa
-
Alas, the tables have turned....
-
Yeah USA played really well, they know they haven\'t got the best players in the world, but they just played as a team, and i really hope that ENGLAND was watching so they can get some idea\'s, and not just bulid the team around one player, David Beckham, it is sooo sad it is untrue, i don\'t know why we even put any other players out there, from the way people go on about him, he could win it on his own, don\'t get me wrong he is a good player, but it isn\'t just about him, they need to give the other players some credit, so you build them up as well.
But anyway well done USA, just make sure you keep playing the same way!!:D
-
The US will 0wnz le football.. ha ha ha

They had better win their group now. If they can beat Portugal, there is no reason they can\'t win it.
God, that\'s great though. What better way to show that we\'re for real this time than to beat one of the best teams in the world?
GO USA!
-
Luis Figo had a sh*t game!!;)
-
Yeah I flipped out. U S A !!!!
-
Know why Soccer/Football will never be as big as MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL in the USA?
Because those sports bring in the money with commercial breaks and there are no breaks in soccer.
Make alot of sense.
Professional sports are a business and not much of a sport anymore.
-
And the fact that most americans find soccer a joke.

That isn\'t it at all. Olympic hockey did rather well, and there weren\'t breaks in that either. They just stuck commercials in there anyway. The reason that we don\'t like soccer as a whole is we are an impatient society. We can\'t sit through a 1-0 game that takes that long. We need things like Basketball, where you score every so many seconds, or Baseball and American Football, where you can clearly see when a team is progressing towards a score. The only reason we tolerate Hockey is the hitting involved :( It\'s sad, but true.

Nope, by Fifa\'s rankings, they are 5th. Italy is 6th.
-
cool we won. I can\'t wait to celebra.... Oh hold up the Lakers are on!!!
-

It\'s no oppinion, it\'s a statement. Generally speaking, there are exceptions of course, the USA has no concern for Soccer. If we win US interest in the sport can really be improved.

Thats not an opinion, its a general statement. Most of the U.S. doesn\'t.

[highpitchedJerrySienfeldvoice]What is the deal with soccer?Is it soccer or is it football?I mean we already have football and i gotta tell ya, its a much more entertaining game?I mean come on it 11 guys stading around playing kickball for an hour and a half?God forbid somebody actually scores cause then riot police have to be called ambulances brought in the crowd gets shot with tear gas.This is the sole reason there is barely any scoring at all.Players just dont want to have to deal with the hassle.[/highpitchedJerrySienfeldvoice]
