Never! If a US team could be ranked fifth in your tournament without people giving 2 shits about soccer in the states I assume we could bring alot better team if it really caught on.

they are ranked 5th true. tho rankings are based on who u play and who is in ur fifa region. ie north america and centeral america. shit countries therefore they are best outta them and high rankings.

bast the best teams are aloowed an off day.

There's more to life than having 18" inch ripped arms.

Soccer Players get more pussy/money/fame/respect that you can ever dream of.

not to mention soccer will get your heart in excellent shape, can't say that about pro bodybuilding.

My girlfriend of years back in college was Greek. her father used to make me watch greek soccer games ( in greek) for hours. When they won the Euro cup a few years ago I had to go to a soccer party lol.

I respect those guys for the amount of endurance they have to have!

Goudy, i disagree with you, Luca Toni is a very good striker, strong, tall, excellent header, needs little time and space te get in a shot (very much like Batistuta). He made 31 goals in the Series A, these Italian defenders are among the best and toughest in the world and the teams generally play a very defensive game, waiting for a counter. No, Luca Toni is a very good striker, as good as Arjen Robben is a winger hehe.

agreed. he is a very good striker. batistuta was immense. however i am saying that no team wins by being on average very good. u need a few stars too. espec in the world cup

4th pic man lol

luca toni has not proved himself at all on world stage. not considered one of europes top strikers despite scoring a lot of goals.

To win the world cup generally ya need 4 really world class players. on top of 7 great players. as opposed to 11 good/great players such as italy.

italys big chance was in 2002 or 1998. the del piero era. not its sad to say but not a top top team

Italy has plenty of stars.

Pirlo is amazing, Zambrotta is probably the best left back in the world (maybe Roberto Carlos, who is aging), Nesta and Cannavarro form the absolute BEST DEFENSE PAIRING in the world.

Their attack is stacked ... Totti, Toni, Gillardino, Inzhaghi, Del Piero, Iaquinta....take your pick, all world class.

Brazil's defense is wicked overrated.... emerson, lucio and cafu are very old and they looked very unorganized against croatia, who could have done better to score.

As for soccer players not making much compared to Roger Clemens, you underestimate how much they make dude.

Transfers for top players are insane. I think Schevchenko transfer to chelsea was for like 30 million pounds!!!!!

Not to mention sponsorships from Nike/Adidas/Puma.

Yes there is alot of money is MLS, not for the american team though, socer has fallen 25% though since 96 or 93 I believe, and MLS is not making money as planned, it's owned by some powerful business men that pretty much use it as a toy.

Soccer players work hard can't remember what team visited my gym but they worked out for around 6 hours and drank gatorade NON STOP, most stayed covered up and jumped rope the whole time.

More soccer players juice than in any other sport. It prolly helps that there are about a billion people who play it though . . .

Ronaldo is not only fat, he's one of the dumbest looking mofos I've ever seen.

His girlfriend, on the other hand, is one hot piece of ass.

I forgot what my point was.

usa will suck forever at soccer

here, here. If it was gonna happen(a good team), it would have happened by now. The best athletes in the U.S play baseball, football, basketball or do track and field. The best athletes in other countries world wide, play SOCCER! No contest. By the way having a good bench press or big delts ain't gonna help you run up and down the field for 45 min straight! You've got to admire their conditioning....

..but I'd NEVER wanna be that small

Scimowser · « **Reply #43 on:** June 14, 2006, 04:13:15 AM »

i would say Robert Huth is the hardest ball kicker in the world, his shot would put you into the net. Carlos has massive legs no doubt. BTW who cares if a mere £130,000 is "chump change" in comparison to an extremely overpaid american, nobody would turn their noses up at £130,000 a week

LOL.
Yeah, the big stars make big money and have fine gf's. Ronaldo has had a couple of bombs, and he's obviously not a "looker". Ronaldinho's gotta have the weirdest face right now, but he's the best so he gets away with it.

One thing that struck me, was that Christiano Ronaldo has pretty big lats for a guy that small. First time i had seen this on a non-bb.

ironneck · « **Reply #45 on:** June 14, 2006, 08:14:14 AM »

football players look very decent like totti,christiano,roberto carlos

130000 is bs
the stars all get much more ,ronaldinho makes like 22mio€ a year and is the most known active athlete in the world along with schumacher

Not really, Bozo. if you know anything about soccer, you'll realize that these soccer players have lots of leg power, they got some of the best legs in sports. Soccer players are the most fit of all athlete, they have to have great speed and endurance for freaking 90 minutes, no time out. their torsos cannot be too heavy, it's just the way a soccer player's physique gotta be.

Bodybuilders in general are not very athletic. Too heavy to run fast and for a long period of time, and too heavy to be agile with the ball. There are some big fast and athletic guys (nfl running backs for example) but that's rare.

In soccer you have to be light to play well. Ronaldo gained some weight and played like shit today for Brazil, was slow.

Totally agree with you. I used to play soccer in my teens. I'm a big fan of Brazil, and Ronaldo looks normal, but by soccer standards, he's out of shape. now we seeing his result from the field
