My point exactly, we'd still be on page 4 except for you asking dumbass questions.

The americans must never be allowed to win the world cup, it would sting so badly in the eyes of the rest of the world that the third world war would soon be upon us. It's that general attitude of "who gives a crap" among the people when they actually have a large amount of registered footballers in their country. It's not at all strange that USA can have a relatively strong team considering their resources. As a team I don't mind them at all.It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - DrosedarsComment

REAL footballers would be happy that Americans are playing and enjoying the game to an impressive degree. We'll win our cups eventually (not soon) and it will come from people playing and enjoying the game. I'm sure it will kill you, if you haven't keeled over already.Last edited by DanS; June 5, 2006, 19:22.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

Indeed. I liked watching the USA play last time, and look forward to watching them again. The wierd thing is, though, I actually wanted Germany to win when they played the USA, because even though Germany are, well, Germany, at least they are a footballing nation.Originally posted by Footie Mad

However good their team is, the USA do not deserve to win the WC until they stop describing their heavily-armoured version of rugby as 'football'. It pains me to see 'football' threads about American Football, and we have to call our game 'World Football' on here if we are to avoid the humiliation of using the S-word.
Having said that I warm to US Americans who do take an interest in real football. They'll do well to get out of that group, though.Comment

By the way, how have the Glazer boys been doing? We don't hear too much about it over on this side of the pond, but after the initial negativity, I haven't heard anything bad about their ownership.

Alex Ferguson had a bunch of positive comments over his working relationiship (collaboration) with them recently.

you realize that many of the stadiums were built by the clubs entirely, an d that there is no reason for them to make them bigger than they can fill. they lend them (probably with some kind of compensation) for the world cup."Everything for the State, nothing against the State, nothing outside the State" - Benito MussoliniComment

If the countries need bigger stadiums, then they should build them. If it would help for several countries to joint-host, then they should do that.
The almighty Blatter is against such a thing.
Why? I have no idea.
The dutch and Belgians want to host the 2018 WC, but he has said that it's not going to happen.

For a country that always gets kicked out in the first round, if they're present at all, you have a pretty big mouth
We learnt to have a big mouth from thebestbiggest mouths out there (not, not the US).

It should be noted that Imran totally gets it so we shouldn't ban all Americans from this thread.
