World cup

England vs USA

who's gonna win?

[diablito]

Usa... 2-1

[TSLoverUK999]

Have America learnt how to play football, when did this happen ?

[diablito]

when we bought that HAS been Beck-ham

[Veracity]

England vs USA

who's gonna win?

Neither of them looked particuarly good in their warmup friendlies though I guess given the sheer weight of talent you would have to tip The Brits to take it. Could the USA pull another Portugal? Not likely and I dont see us even getting out of our group to be honest.

[TSLoverUK999]

LoL Beckham ain't no "has been", he would have been the 1st name on today's squad sheet if he wasn't injured.

[TSLoverUK999]

USA will qualify for the last 16, they have a strong side balanced with experience.

[xrey]

England vs USA

who's gonna win?

That is a tough one from a USA supporter but it will be difficult to keep pace with England and their experience. If we can contain Rooney we have a good shot at an upset. I will be happy with a tie.

USA 2
England 2

Both will make it out of the group.

[Coroner]

Even if the USA have no soccer tradition like England, I consider them a strong team. But the victory is English. :lol:

[TSLoverUK999]

All the yanks are obviously so bothered by this game and thread lol

[GullyFoyle]

So what's the over/under line on hooligans getting thrown out of the country?

Or the number of people trampled to death?

[flabbybody]

I think soccer is a great game for kids to play but I can't watch more than a few minutes of it on TV

Ambassadors bet on USA-England World Cup match


Diplomats in London and Washington have raised the stakes over Saturday's US-England World Cup clash by wagering a meal over the game's outcome.

Americans will never like football.
They have too short attention spans.
It also doesn't lend itself to advertising donuts and crap food during commercial breaks.

I disagree... we can advertise the piss out of "donuts" during commercials and even while the game is in play... still plenty of ways to infuse capitalism into this game...

Hey eurotrash! The favorites are Americans from Brazil. Argentina, Mexico and the US have strong sides as well. So plenty of North and South Americans love that game. Or were you too stupid to say what you really meant?

Great prediction there slaghead. You were only off by 3 goals.

[flabbybody]

After watching the US-England match end at 1-1 here's my thoughts about improving the game for the folks on this side of the pond.

* Americans don't like contests that end in ties. One on one penalty shots should determine a winner when regulation time is over

** The ball goes out of bounds too often. There should be low barricades to keep the ball in play for longer stretches

*** The officials stop play too much. tell the refs to the let the guys play

**** Don't start the clock at zero. American football starts at 15 and works its way down. makes it much easier for transient viewers to immediately know where the game stands when they're surfing other channels

***** Americans love scoring... baskets, field goals, touchdowns, home runs. make the goal mouth wider and higher. eliminate the offside infraction. by allowing a player to go ahead of the ball striker, you'd createstrategy as well as producing more goals

I'll think of some more stuff as I watch more games.

I´m not sure what you mean by "clock at zero"?

It´s a game, not a Hollywood blockbuster where kids want to see exploding cars, crashings helicopters etc. A wider goal would be too easy and make the game boring except there are like 4-5 goal keepers at the same time. That would look like puppet theater, not football.

wait wait wait... I hope you're not referring to the pilgrims? would love to hear your view on this... please elaborate!

[JamesHunt]

Shit happens

YouTube- England Vs USA 1-1 - Clint Dempsey Goal / Robert Green Big Mistake - June 12 2010 - World Cup - [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvyKmffnRXc)

[muhmuh]

I´m not sure what you mean by "clock at zero"?

i believe he means that the american mind cant deal with a game that has set endpoints at 45 and 90 minutes instead of an easily understood countdown and cutoff at 0
and lets not even get into the matter of stoppage time added to the end of those 45/90 minutes which would undoubtedly casue a few heads to explode overseas


wait wait wait... I hope you're not referring to the pilgrims? would love to hear your view on this... please elaborate!

i think interstate 60 is able to convey the point in a much more humours way than im able to come up with at this hour:
Bob Cody: Ever hear of Frederick Turner, Mr. Oliver?
Neal Oliver: No, Sir.
Bob Cody: Well, he was an historian. About a hundred years ago he came up with a theory about the frontier. He said the frontier was a safety valve for civilization, a place for people to go to keep from goin' mad. So, whenever there were folks who couldn't fit in with the way things were, nuts, and malcontents, and extremists, they'd pack up and head for the frontier. That's how America got started - all the crackpots and troublemakers in Europe packed up and went to a frontier which became the Thirteen Colonies. When some people couldn't fit in with that, they moved farther west, which is why all the nuts eventually ended up in California. Turner died in 1932, so he wasn't around long enough to see what happened to the world when we ran out of frontier.

[The Rossatron]

USA played well and on the basis of that performance last night and the awful game earlier between Algeria and Slovenia they should be too strong for them two; England much the same. Both will go through but depending on results in Germany's group both could well go out at the next stage. There's a bit of diplomacy for you.

[diablito]

So, whenever there were folks who couldn't fit in with the way things were, nuts, and malcontents, and extremists, they'd pack up and head for the frontier.


I'm sure he meant to say FREE THINKERS, not led clones... though those words are very difficult to register in the East... regardless, this journey will only end poorly for you "Royal" folk...

[muhmuh]

germany ftw first team that showed an impressive performance


I'm sure he meant to say FREE THINKERS

yeah im sure all the religious nuts who still today think noahs flood was a real event america ended up qualify as the true free thinkers instead of all the europeans who started the age of elightment back here in the old world

[Coroner]

USA= 17th century Europe. It´s that simple, muhmuh.

Now, let´s talk about football. Damn, what happened to Australia? :lol: I did not expect such a high defeat by Germany. However, this will not happen with Serbia or Ghana. Btw, the Serbs dissapointed me but Ghana deserved the victory.

Oh Jesus Christ. Will you assholes just shut the fuck up with all your nationalistic jingoism? This is the fucking Sports Board. What the fuck does any of that garbage have anything remotely to do with the World Cup? Take that bullshit to the Politics & Religion board.

[JamesHunt]

I was just wondering, is anyone else put off by those goddam african didgeridoos that sound non-stop from start to finish of a match. Seriously, that needs sorting out!

[Aimee]

the vuluvusas or whatever? they don't bother me too much but they just make all the games sound the same. they're is no distinction in atmosphere to the korean, argentinia or ghanian games, they all sound the same!

[Coroner]

I doubt there are nationalists in here. All started with a critics of football (which everyone has the right to do) until you began with your "eurotrash" talk. That was enough to welcome dildito aka T-Fan into this discussion. If you don´t like football (soccer is just the wrong term, sorry) or don´t understand it, avoid the topic. I´m not discussing American football and baseball threads either because I don´t care about these sports.

[Niccolo]

They don't add much to the games, as you said there's no difference between one game and the next. Quite annoying too.

[TSLoverUK999]

The Vuvuzela are staying according to the news :o(

I guess its going to help identify this World Cup but they are more annoying than Pompey's ringing bells !

[Niccolo]

I just turn the volume down. This also has the added benefit of meaning you don't have to listen to the commentators, who are almost as annoying as the vulva-blowers.

[flabbybody]

the commentators fail to realize that a large portion of their audience are not regular fans. Dumb down the game a little bit and give us some insight into the game.

[muhmuh]

[diablito]

How bad did Portugal look... amazingly poor play... Home Team plays at 230... don't know how we're going to add the 6th star... might be difficult to rearrange on the jersey...

[Schimmel]

Right on. I get the feeling North Korea is going to get spanked hard. I like how they're coming in as the mysterious underdogs though/ From the coach it sounds like they will try to attack hard and surprise but we'll see. What a fucking upset if they beat Brazil.

[Coroner]

They were equal opponents in this game. I was not impressed by Brazil.

[TSLoverUK999]

Great to see North Korea play their hearts out, especially pulling a goal back, probably as a team and individuals they have alot riding on doing well, more than we might know. Beaten by 2 brilliant Brazilian goals.

[Schimmel]

Amen. I was actualy rooting for them.

[TSLoverUK999]

S.A. have given themselves a tough job to qualify now, I hope they do, the competition won't be the same without them !

I guess it´s over for South Africa. :(

Loved the BBC coverage last night, ever pundit basically said the same with out saying it lol !

Looks like Germany are in trouble, just coming up to half time !

Makes me slightly worried for England's game tonight, defo need to come out & kick some Algerian ass !

Argentina game was awesome, certainly carrying the Maradona spirit !

[traLika]

Unlucky USA. You should have won against Slovenia. Stupid ref!

[TSLoverUK999]

Nothing wrong with that last goal at all ! 2-2 all gives England plenty of breathing room !

Either play Gerrard just off Rooney or ditch Shrek altogether for the next game and bring in Crouch and Defoe to start. Capello is clueless.

Whats wrong with the english team?

I hope Germany can make it on wednesday and England is going to the playoffs too. Would like to have a match up.
I prefer playing against netherland or england and possibly going out of the tourney than 2002 playing against USA and Korea making it to the final.

Well first we have to win the next match, but quality players must be stronger and have victory

cant see it being a repeat of that world cup qualifier of 2001 ( liverpool 5 germany 1 )...i mean England 5.. ahem.... but its always more fun to watch when its a real rival :D

BTW how are we overrated? No one actually rates us?? We walked the qualifiers, put out Russia,croatia so our rank is about right and we just failed to live up to even that so far :)) So I cant see how we are overrated apart from a few shitty newspapers here who overhype anything to sell a few, everyone else in the world seems to know the score :)

Not likely against the current German side. It’s probably a good thing we’ve got the Germans though. Everyone should hopefully be up for beating an arch rival. Or something like that...:hide-1:

Yeah, our ranking is about right. And we’ve played crap so far in this world cup and still come joint top of our group (on points) so if we raise our game we might peak at the right time… Wishful thinking, I know… :)

If stevie me la and once a blue always a manc rooney both have exceptional games at the err same time, then we can go further, no means best in world but can scrap a bit :)) its a shame capello never asked Scholes earlier , i read he would of said yes with more warning !! Pains me to say it but would of improved midfield a lot even at his age - quality !

[traLika]

We were shocking again. Germany deserved to win – congrats Germany!

Having said that, I suspect England could and probably would have played with a bit more composure in the second half if that second goal had been properly counted. I guess we’ll never know…

Capello has to go. He is inflexible. He played the wrong system from the start and stuck with it, despite everyone else’s criticisms. And why did he bring Heskey on in the 70th minute? The language barrier also hasn't helped.

England needs someone like Harry Redknapp or Martin O’Neill, who know how to build a team spirit and can communicate fully with the players without a translator. On the other hand, there IS one foreign speaking coach who COULD do the job: Jose Mourinho. If he could win the 2014 World Cup with England, he really WOULD be the Special One!

i wouldnt be so hasty
sure i feel a lot more confident about facing argentina now and our team has continuously improved but still theres many areas where theyll need to improve quickly if theyre going to have a chance of winning this

It could´ve turned out differently for Germany if the second English goal was recognized. And it was a goal! The English team would´ve been encouraged and fight till the end. But, they were completely screwed. Still, 4-1 is just too much and I´m sure that Germany can beat Argentina.

i agree with the man. yesterdays argentina game didn't look too threatening, but they did not really play out their full potential. on a good day, they are hard to beat. still, they have individual class in their midfield and offense that is hard to match, their defense has some weakneses though, demichelis being one.

one thing that gives us an edge is better coaching though. it seems like all maradonna does is put some highly talented individuals on the pitch and trust they'll know what to do. that works versus teams like nigeria or greece, but it may not vs germany or holland or spain.

either way, germany vs argentina is completely open game, 50:50 chance imo. just hope that argentina do not start crying and fighting like bitches again if they should lose.

Who is going to win the World Cup in your opinion, mates?:praying:

[TSLoverUK999]

Ghana :praying: lol

[Coroner]

That fartface C. Ronaldo is finally gone. Upcoming games:

Netherlands-Brazil
Uruguay-Ghana
Germany-Argentina
Paraguay-Spain

I´d say, the first game will be thrilling but the Dutch will take the tickets for the semi-finals. They presented themselves as a better team and seem more motivated than Brazil this time. And with Ghana, the last African team will drop out. Facing Germany might be the most important game for Argentina and I doubt they´ll let the German pass. And Spain..... well, they could fuck it up. :mrgreen:

You don´t have to act too self-convinced. You´re not playing against Ghana, Australia or England this time but against Argentina. Germany has a good team but not good enough to beat a team whose players provide individual quality. Whatever, we´ll see tomorrow.

like i said, it's a 50:50 chance. i'm not denying argentinas individual class at all, especially their forwards and midfielders are top notch, whereas their defense isn't the best in the world. i believe that the german side will do it's homework and will be prepared better though.

either way, i'd expect holland or spain to win the cup.

[The Piper]

i believe that the german side


Is that the German/Polish/Turkish/Ghanaian/Brazilian side.:dancing:

Are the Brazilians just cruising and they can move up a couple of gears or have we seen the true story.

C'mon Holland,take it.(and it's time you Germans gave them their pushbikes back)

Lol that is true but its a side that dicked us !

Most boring World Cup ever.

Only Argentina play anything like attacking football.

Give me club football any day

wot

cacau is the only german player who immigrated past the age of five. you seriously wanna call boateng ghanaian, despite being born to a german mother in germany and spending his whole life in berlin :confused: same with özil, born in germany, grew up in the shithole of gelsenkirchen? klose/trochowski/podolski, who's parents immigrated for a better life within a few years of their birth?

what difference does this shit even make, it's the same in every other country rich enough to attract immigration (holland, england, france, sweden etc.)

guess how many times thats been said about previous german wc teams that went all the way?
germany rarely had any big names on its team and yet they always went far

That´s true but sometimes their far voyages are questionable. The last great German team that I remember is the one attending WC 1998 in France. That WC was also the last good one and I have to agree with hyperspace..... this is truly the most boring WC ever.

I'm tired of hearing these TV sports guys saying "Ghana is gonna"
I thought of it first and it's not that funny after you hear it more than once

I wish they would have won

[celticgrafix]

Germany all the way

Yeah, right... ;)
Much as it grieves me to say this, it looks like the Germans are unbeatable...

let me quote myself here :wiggle:

[Coroner]

Maradona was a bad choice and this game is the proof. They were doing good until they met a disciplined team. Argentina might have better players (for European leagues) but Germany is a team. They completed deserved this victory.

[Coroner]

Now this is what I call finals. To the German fans: being 3rd or 4th is pretty good, too.

[aShemalesboyfriend]

I am sooo sad now but congrats to Spain, I dont know why our team was so scared today. Usually we would have had an chance but we could not bring our A game.

It is sad but I am used to be number 2 or 3 as a german. The statistics from last years stands for itselfs
WM 2002: Deutschland 2.
CL 2002: Leverkusen 2.
UEFA 2002: Dortmund 2.
WM 2006: Deutschland 3.
EM 2008: Deutschland 2.
EL 2009: Bremen 2.
CL 2010: Bayern 2.
WM 2010: Deutschland 3./4.

[Coroner]

I don´t think the German players were scared off but were completely destroyed by Spain. It could´ve been 3:0 minimally. And now I don´t think that the Dutch have the slightest chance to beat Spain on sunday.

[aShemalesboyfriend]

No Spain will make it. I think the respect to Spain was to big
