Get past the US, Canada, Germany, Japan, Brazil, China, and maybe Norway and it's a sharp sharp drop in quality. Mia and Abby made a living on scoring 3+ a game against bad teams.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Re: World Soccer XXV - the run up to the World Cup
Not that I care what she thinks but I think all of you are missing the point...no one would call Abby Wambach the US all-time leading scorer. They'd qualify it with "Women's" but no one cares to qualify Landon in the same way even though he has scored less than some women. It is complete uncomparabke but it's not about comparing it's about properly qualifying. If you talk about Pete Sampras, you qualify him as a great Mens tennis player.Michigan Tech Legend, Founder of Mitch's Misfits, Co-Founder of Tech Hockey Guide, and Creator/Host of the Chasing MacNaughton Podcast covering MTU Hockey and the WCHA.

Of course the writer could be mistaken as they may have referred to Landon as the US's All Time leading World Cup goal scorer.
US Soccer at least does put the teams on equal footing with MNT and WNT being used.U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Um, really? Per Wiki, Pele scored 1281 goals. Oh, I guess she meant that Abby was the top goal scorer in INTERNATIONAL competitions - well, she should have qualified it that way, then! Must be precise, mustn't we?If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Originally posted by ExileOnDaytonStreet View PostI'm DVR-ing this game, but I'm paranoid that I'm going to find a way to spoil it before I get home.
If one of you could do me a favor and post the starting formations in the non-spoiler thread, so I don't feel tempted to try to find it elsewhere and accidentally spoil the score, I'd be appreciative.
OK, here you go.
On paper it looks like both teams are going 4-5-1....
Brazil:
Cesar
Maicon - Luiz - Dante - Marcelo
Gustavo - Rosa - Hulk - Oscar - Barnard
Fred
For Germany, I'm a bit surprised, but
Neuer
Lahm - Boateng - Hummels - Howedes
Khedira - Schweinsteiger - Muller - Kroos - Ozil

Then again, I guess players in their prime who just led the Premier League in goals by a mile don't come cheap.
I'm liking the look of:
--------- Suarez ----------
Neymar -- Messi -- Iniesta
---- Busquets - Rakitic ----
Not sure how they're going to fill the massive Carles Puyol-shaped hole in their defense though.Cornell University Men's Hockey

Also, wonder where Liverpool spends the cash. In the old days when they sold players like Kevin Keegan, they'd get someone as good if not better.Twitter: DanMountSports

Seen several reports saying Liverpool is "keeping an eye on" Bony and Davies from Swansea.
Liverpool has had a decent transfer period already adding in Lambert, Lallana and Can"If you leave ignorance and stupidity alone, ignorance and stupidity will think it's ok."
