    We rock at those sports most of us actualy care about though. Football is a big event only at the big cities and there arent so many people palying it. we are a small nation after all. You on the other hand have tens of millions of people playing assosation football or soccer for its slang name.

    Therefore I declared you owned.
    We have tens of millions playing soccer?! What, 5 year olds? 10 year olds? Because that really has an effect on what, say, 15 year olds are playing, right?

    Though thanks for proving my point. If more Americans care about soccer than Finns, then that means are opinions are more valid than yours .

    Though it was amusing for you to call for the US to beat a country that we beat in the LAST WORLD CUP!

      Call me when you make a World Cup Final please .
      I never said or even hinted at believing the pathetic American team could beat us. I merely hinted that being a hugely larger nation then us with the same level of football enthusiasm it wouldnt be a fair match.

        Of course not. Your enthusiast would be in their teens, 20's and 30's and our would be 10.



        ACK!

            I would think people that follow a country that has made it to the Quarterfinals of the WC AND have beaten teams like Portugal AND have drew against an Italian team while being down to 9 men for 30 minutes can comprehend the sport just as well, if not better, than people who follow a country which has YET to reach a WC Final.

            So talk to me again when you reach a WC Final .

              laurentius you're an idiot ....

Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

                  No, it isn't, because the US is a far more talented squad. Nothing to do with population, or, as pointed out, whenever China loses it is a massive upset .

The only Scorpio is.. Trezeguet... played 2 matches in the whole tournament, and missed France's penalty in the shootout


                    Nice, but wrong. Scorpio starts on Oct 22nd, Trezeguet was born on the 15th.

                          Oh come on, forget about the Chinese, they are too busy practising their Mayday marches.

                          Imran, I agree with you , the US is slightly more talented squad than Finland. But its main reason is the enormous player pool you guys have compared to us. Really this is a huge advantage. To be frank there a really just a couple of thousand of good or reasonable Finnish players around the world where you guys have million or two good players. The Size does matter you know. And China isnt valid comparison because you guys have 1st class training capabilities and they dont.


                          Just being realistic here. Anyway when you guys come and play against us I'll be sure to book a ticket fot that match.

                              Wow, crazy game.

                              Zidane's headbutt (and the logical subsequent red card) has completely shadowed the game. Other than that, it seriously felt like the Switzerland-France match, which was very close, and in which the score didn't represent all the opportunities.

                              Too bad Trezeguet didn't score his PK. But worse than that, too bad Italy won
