World Soccer XII: South Africa Awaits

Re: World Soccer XII: South Africa Awaits

The only thing that the USA has over England is goalkeeping.

But its by a substantial margin and that can be absolutely huge.

I think the England fans that I know respect the USA, they have much better goalkeeping, I think we can easily say the three best American keepers are best than England's best. Of course one is retired from international play.

New Nike commercial for the WC:

My favorite parts are probably the smirks on Howard and Donovan's faces and the Spanish team's rage.

Also love how Ronaldhino is featured (woops!)

It's fun, but I still like this one more:

I'd argue that Joe Hart is the best English keeper in their team. Luckily for us, he might not even be 2nd choice for Fabio.
 
Re: World Soccer XII: South Africa Awaits

The US has what, five World Cup level keepers right now? (Howard, Hahnemann, Guzan, Friedel, Keller). Plus Bo Myhill was born in California, and is the Wales #1.

We'll trade England two of them for Wayne Bridge. If you aren't gonna use him, we may as well.

Thornton, Reis, Busch, Rimando? :p
 
Re: World Soccer XII: South Africa Awaits

I am personally placing a hundred-dollar bounty on the head of Giuseppe Rossi. He's a Benedict Arnold and chief punk on that Italian team. A hundred bucks of my own money for the first guy who really nails that creep.

He totally should be playing for us. He won't even get off the bench for Italy. If he played for USA, he would be the triggerman we need. But he is a creep so I will help Red Cloud pay his bounty.
 
Re: World Soccer XII: South Africa Awaits

I'd be more upset over Subotic than Rossi. Rossi always wanted to play for Italy, played for Italy U-16, U-17, U-18, U-21. Subotic played US U-17s and U-20s, then decided he wanted to switch to Serbia, much worse IMO.

Also, come on Blackpool!

That makes as much sense as a Welsh team in the English Premier League... oh wait.... that could happen.
 
Re: World Soccer XII: South Africa Awaits

The fans at Wembley are surely getting their money's worth today. 3:2 at halftime!

Go Cardiff! Cymru am byth!

Blame Thomas Rongen. He left Subotic off the team for some tournament, and Subotic said "welp, Serbia it is."

Rossi at least made up his mind at like age 12.

Anyways, we usually get the benefit of these decisions, although I can't think of many with dual nationality being good enough to play for their "other" country. Torres for Mexico? Holden for Scotland? Onyewu was technically eligible for Nigeria. Jozy was eligible for Haiti, but let's be serious.

I assume you've read this anatomy of a traitor:

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/world-...-history-world-cup-just-not-us?cc=5901&ver=us

The guy comes off like a ****** after the highlighted quote. He celebrated like a deranged banshee after BOTH goals against us. The US was the last team I'd want to score against my ***.
