SO the worlds reaction is the reaction of Americans, mostly in America, but also Americans in random places outside of America, including "lyon France", which looks amazingly like an American bar?

England is through too cup cake, with the same number of points, and the only reason the US got a goal in the England vs USA match was a pure fluke. So if England "SUX", you're saying the US "SUX" equally as much .

Don't worry, when the USA gets knocked out, I'll be sure to post about it

Being on the world stage and beating the snot out of every fraking country in a game recognized the world over?

I'll take that win.


And besides the fact... last second, down to the wire and we win?

I saw the tie w/ England. When we scored, the house bought everyone watching ( some 15 or so ) a shot.

That was nice.


For Algeria, I was working. Never crossed my mind to stop off anywhere and watch. Not even for a nano-second.

Glad some folks had something to cheer about.

For a few minutes.

This wasn't beating the Russians in hockey. Not by a long shot. But hey, it's good to win.

Even in soccer.

Enjoy, and I don't blame you. But I'm with Citizen; we're no better in reality, just that old saw "any team can win on any given day". And the "world" isn't celebrating, just America, so to call it the "world's reaction" makes me sick.

Hey, like I said: Enjoy. I got no complaints; anything that makes anyone feel good for just a few minutes is gravy far as I'm concerned right now. Just offering perspective.

Along with which I might note that America's got a ton of MONEY to dump into building a soccer team; some other countries, not so much. It matters in the Olympics, I imagine it matters here, too. Just sayin'.

AND...... I hate hippies. For this and for so much else.

What? Did money make them stronger? Faster? Better?

I think they have tests for steroids in the World Cup.

Soccer, unlike a lot of other sports, can be played with just a ball and some posts.

But whatever. If they win the whole thing or don't, its a ray of light in an otherwise dark time.

And for that little bit, Im grateful.

Wulf: They can buy better players for the team, in fact I think most of our players on the USA team are European. I'd have to check though.

But they are underdogs, simply because they're the American team, and it's their first time. I don't think it matters what nationality they are originally, it's like hiring a gladiator to fight in the colosseum, or a mercenary to fight in a war. Your money paid for them, they're ostensibly representing you.

Soccer in this country is like the 10th most popular sport, right behind bowling and lawn darts, so not much goes into it. The soccer tv shows here are like public access cable shows, so bad they're good. Europeans put soccer next to God and family and those may finish 2nd and third. One of those wussies in shorts playing in the Euro big leagues makes many millions just like our top athletes (basketball, football, baseball). So if anyone is going to put money into it it's going to be them, not us.
I can't figure the sport out really, but trying to has been great fun and a great education. I think I have figured out one thing though - that a lot of it's magic, the ability to make grown men weep, is one of the main things that US sports fans hate: not a lot of scoring. But when something is limited to such a degree it raises it's value. And if you wait 91 minutes for it BANG! WHAA! That's pretty special.

I said in both posts that I was happy. And there's no politics involved, it's just that it's that way.

Byte explained it perfectly. But Pizmo's probably right, given soccer isn't the thing here it is in Europe. The fact remains that America can afford the best, can afford to provide the best training, etc. It does make a difference.

Let's just forget that part, it was just my usual effort to put things in perspective. The WIN is what's important, and I'm happy for all involved. Let it go at that.

What they aren't telling you is that Americans are taught to play soccer from the time we're six, and we play american football for like a year in high school. Every one of these people plays soccer, or has, but probably does, and we all know that Man United traded David Beckham to Real Madrid.

I can see why the rest of the world doesn't want the U.S. to win.

If this country got just 1/4 as soccer crazed as other countries, it'd quickly become a world power in the sport as well.

With all the $$ and passion this country has to offer.... a nation of 300 million strong ( with a fast growing Latin population ), it would rival any other for the cup in no time.

Russia? China ? Hell, those " super powers " didn't even make it to S. Africa.

But I suspect this is the apex of footie in the near future. Ghana will likely show us how it's played, and we'll be proud of making it to the 2nd round.

Which is nice, I suppose.

Oh wow, England is going to need to step it up with those competitors. They surprised me in the group phase -- I thought they were going to do better.

As far as the US goes, it is exciting, but we certainly didn't look as dominating as I'd like... (2 ties, one of which should have been a win and then a last second win) (In my head, I'm hearing Sean Connery's, "I'm waiting to be impressed" line from one of his movies -- um, the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or maybe the one with Katherine Zeta Jones).

I'm not aure why people keep saying soccer isn't very popular. It's not popular with our media, sure. But how many sports have you played? How many people here have played soccer, how many have player other games.

Myself, in the last year I played soccer, football and basketball. The past I've played a fair amount like tennis and baseball. Ive never played hockey. Also golf and croquet. Oh, badminton, frisbee, and surfing and volleyball if they count. Is swimming a sport?

I used to play a lot of raquetball. I don't see it in the news much.

Ive never played lacrosse or hockey.

But in my experience if you get a random group of people together, the thing your most likely to have is a soccer game, though sometimes it's tennis or basketball. Unless the summer games count, and then maybe volleyball. Or swimming if it counts.

Point being, it's a reasonably american pastime, it's not like we strap on 40 pounds of armor to play rugby on weekends. If you really want soccer to take of in the US as a professional sport, just start calling it football. Which it is. Rugby is not football. The foot seldom connects to the pigskin, which is not a ball. It should be called hand-pig.

Truth be told, no one in America cares about soccer. That we don't even try at this sissy game and went to S. Africa and won our group against England is hilarious. They live for that girlie game. That we are better, faster, and stronger than the Brits is not a surprise to anyone. The world has known we are better than that rinkey dink ISLAND nation for 225+ years. See, when we sent them home with musket balls in their asses, they were forever known as wimps. Then you listen to their gay accent and right away they become cartoon characters....They must hate us. Can you imagine the inferiority complex

Heads should roll

Has the trash talk portion of the thread started yet? I've been informed that trash talk is perhaps the most enjoyable part of the game.

Kaneman: You might be right. A majority of the players in teams in the American NSL are European, and I always thought that players for World Cup teams were pulled up from the local national teams. But maybe they're American. I don't know enough about the current team.

Truth be told, no one in America cares about soccer. That we don't even try at this sissy game and went to S. Africa and won our group against England is hilarious. They live for that girlie game. That we are better, faster, and stronger than the Brits is not a surprise to anyone. The world has known we are better than that rinkey dink ISLAND nation for 225+ years. See, when we sent them home with musket balls in their asses, they were forever known as wimps. Then you listen to their gay accent and right away they become cartoon characters....They must hate us. Can you imagine the inferiority complex

England is one of the few countries of the world deserving of respect and admiration. WWII....Blitzkreig bombings of London, Battle of Britain, Nazi V-1 Buzz Bomb rockets daily strikes for a couple of years, jungle warfare fighting the Japanese in Burma, and other hellholes in SE Asia and China that no other Ally ever fought...AND ALL of this by themselves! The USA was sittin' it out. We hadn't felt or apparently even seen enough of Mr. Hitler or General Tojo's aggression and atrocities to join the fight anywhere in the world. But England fought them everywhere. And on the high seas, again it was England fighting off the Nazi U-boat wolfpacks and suffering incredible losses in lives and cargo. Yeah, eventually America joined the fight against the evil Axis powers, but it was those crooked-tooth chaps from England who did all the dirty work in the early years. So the next time you think about England, consider that. And they gave us the Beatles and Rolling Stones too, yanno, those guys with the funny accents.

Anyone playing for a national team must be a citizen of that country. Doesn't matter where you play elsewhere, but all our boys are from the USA.

I heard it's tied up now.

EDIT: Whoops, nope, it was tied up for a while into overtime, but it looks like the final score's come through.
