::) ::) ::)

This is a fucking Dumb statement!!  ::) ::) ::) ::) How the fuck do you get better?? You play against the best competition and if we meet up with Uruguay, so be it and it will be a great game! You remind me of the guy who only plays against his Lil sister and thinks he is the best at everything.  :o I would hate to have someone like you on my team for any sport because you would give up because "Someone" is better then you.

you would, would you? ha ha i was the last person to give up because a team was better...dumb statement, you just flew off the handle about nothing bro, i was simply making the comment that you wont get to the semis. I hardly think that says anything about my attitude to playing sport you fool

Im simply making a statement of truth, I'm rooting for the usa in the game, but uruguay are a different class my friend...accept it.

USA to at least the semis, bitches. USA USA USA USA.

If the USA would make it to the semis that would be a huge boom for soccer in the US I guess.

Seems that for the first time they have a quite competitive national team. Ghana tonight is absolutely beatable.

Ok they're not, youd take donavon over forlan any day of the week i suppose?...lets see what happens in these next two games, for all we know it could end up south korea v ghana for the quarters.

oh btw Doug, im a fulham fan so im well aware of what smaller teams can do to bigger sides, esp this year...then forlan came along and fucked everything up after my 15 hour trip to hamburg

Forlan is the only player in both team that is on a different level .

I've noticed that soccer fans are obsessed with how many stars a team has. Which often times leads to shit, because team play is what wins championships.

Do you watch American footaball at all? In 2007, the New England Patriots set all kinds of all time records. They went 17-0 that year and established themselves as the best NFL team of all time. They literally destroyed every opponent they faced that year. They lost the superbowl the the New York Giants. My point: if a team is playing like a team, anything can happen in a one game elimination.

How much better are the top teams? It's not more than 10% due to talent. That 10% can be equalized via drive, team play and determination.

The USA has a good team which may elevate itself to great, given the circumstances.

Out of South Korea, Uruguay, Ghana, and the US,  I reckon the US will be the ones that reach the semis.

Sorry bro but if you get past Ghana then Uruguay will kick the living shit out of you in the quarters...they're messing teams up for fun right now.

All the expert opinions I've read point to either SK or Uruguay being a dream match-up for the US team. But let me guess, you know more.

They were quite lucky with the draw as well. A lotta elite teams will eliminate each other in the last 16. On monday either England or Germany will be out, on Tuesday either Portugal or Spain... ;)

According to one of the Eurotrash commentators for the games yesterday on ESPN, no European team has ever won a World Cup off European soil. Definitely "elite".

I love it how you think england is euro trash...makes me laugh. id hardly call Urguay or south korea a dream match up for the usa...but whatever, any team from the last 16 onwards is a good side, so no game is easy.

LOL

Let's put it this way: The only non-European teams who ever won the World cup are Brasil, Argentina and Uruguay (in the 1930s).

ghana will test usa team's strength.  big, strong, well fit african team but lack south american dazzle dribbling and no thought pin-point passing skills. in all reality if team usa has any motivation they should get past ghana 2:1.  uruguay is more tested from playing brasil n argentina...SA football gods.  team usa is half a$$ ok if they get past Uruguay who should beat the snot out of SK if their A game is on.

if usa gets to semis...they're toast.  they would have to sit in 3-3-5 and play for 0:0 regulation and play a nerves game which makes the most sense but i assume NA arrogance they will try to play toe - toe during regulation and get blown the ####out.

this only counts if the twinks are strong enough to run against a big african team.  

freddie adu must be sick, skills never developed with subpar usa football...where as he'd be a better footballer if he had kept dual citizenship in ghana.  oh...well.

I don't think anyone expects the USA to win the entire thing. Getting to the semis would be an amazing accomplishment for a country where soccer isn't a major sport. It would also have the added benefit of putting millions of Europeans on suicide watch.

i know that.  but if you get there then you play smart football.  play 0:0 and turn it into a 5 kick game which puts more pressure on the superior team.  these guys get 500k for semi.  700 for finals.  966k for win.  they should play to someone falls dead.

That's how much each individual player gets or the team as a whole?
