On another note, just looking at these uniforms of the various teams I realized how quickly you can identify certain teams just by the uniforms.
Examples of unique uniforms: Red and white checkers: Croatia Orange: Holland All yellow: Sweden Light blue and white stripe: Argentina Red and white stripes, blue shorts: Paraguay And then there are the normal ones that are so easily identifyable, examples: White shorts blue shirt: Italy Yellow shirt blue shorts: Brazil But then you have USA. Since about half the countries in western Europe have red-white-blue color schemes, we basically just look like the poor mans England. We've had the same basic scheme as England forever, and that in itself is unamerican. That's where I ask my question: What happened to these? ![]() In 1994, the US had these jerseys with the stars on them. Sure, they might not be the most stylish jerseys in this era, but really, neither is Croatia and they have the most identifyable uniforms in international soccer. These old jerseys were a better representation of the United States. About half the teams in the World Cup can have navy, white and red uniforms, but if the US still had stars it would be instantly identifyable. I personally think those old school uniforms would look way cooler than what we have now and I don't know why they would change to something so bland and boring. |

No, I think they changed the rule to that if any part of the attacker is ahead of the play, he's offside, doesn't need to be day light anymore. But I dunno if they've changed it again as a result of buggering about with the offside rule all the time.

Yeah well, a couple of years back Norway had the exact same shirt as England. Not the same colour, the exact same shirt.
![]() ![]() I dunno if someone at Umbro was just really lazy and thought "we'll just move the badge" while designing the Norway kit, or if Umbro had 50,000 unsold, damaged England shirts they couldn't use or whatever, but that is shocking. |

Drogba is the shit. It's going to be the most disappointing when the US loses, but Ivory Coast is my second team and it sucks that they had to end like this. All in all, they played a hell of a two games so far against two great teams. The midfield looked better today, but if they can develop a strong playmaker in the middle they could go far in 2010.

Wow England were able to just beat a bunch of part-time journeyman. Needed to cheat but still they won. Well fucking done.
Still the memory of that wank Clive Tyldsley and Southgate desperately trying to convince themselves that a "draw would be a good result" will amuse me for a while. Meanwhile Argentina looking awesome. This might just be their year. Last edited by LK; 06-16-2006 at 08:01 PM. |

I am not going to totally count the US out against Italy. Chances are the US won't win, but I'd like to think Arena can muster something up and make the guys at least compete in the match.
