When America when the World Cup this year, will it force the rest of the world to call it the game soccer?

Hey laugh it up, but you and I both know 9 out of 10 times Italy will crush you. We had a bad tournament no excuses so enjoy the gloating.

At least Lippi showed a bit of humility on their way out. Took defeat on the chin, took responsibilty.
Domenech, I hope you were watching. |

Just heard today that Tim Howard has Tourette syndrome, but he doesn't take meds for it because he doesn't want to slow his reaction time. Crazy.

Yeah, was the #1 reason I was happy when he signed for United since nobody had ever heard of him. If you watch when he's playing, he does this aggressive kind of squint quite often which is because of his tourettes apparently.

Don't hold your breath. Do you honestly think any soccer official is gonna let the US Win? Watch for called off goals, phantom penalty kicks, and bogus yellow and red cards in the next round.

Really looking forward to today's matches. Possibly the best of the group stage. Brazil/Portugal should be great even though they're both going through. Excited about Chile/Spain too, especially since Spain has a very real chance of being eliminated since the Swiss are playing Honduras.

Brazil beat Portugal 6-2 in a friendly not so long ago. So there's a minor, minor chance Ivory Coast may still make it if they demolish North Korea. Can't see it though.

I reckon 3-2 Brazil, I can see a close high scoring game.

btw. I'm in love with this game all of a sudden. I checked to see if there was a pro soccer team in Indy. I'm pretty much set to follow Landon Donavon wherever he plays. The only thing i hate is the fucking offsides bullshit. Dont get that at all. |

You don't get offside? It's to stop players "goal hanging" and just waiting around by the goal for someone to hoof the ball up to them from anywhere on the pitch.

The offside rule is essential. Have you ever played a game in school or anything and there's just one guy who stands by the goal waiting for the ball to get booted his way? It's not exciting at all and is very annoying.

It would basically be an awful game without the offside rule.

In this Chile/ Spain match.
Why did the Chilie goalkeeper run 50 yards to get the ball? That looked pretty stupid. Last edited by McLegend; 06-25-2010 at 04:38 PM. Reason: I spelled stupid wrong |
