Come on USA, you can do this!
Ashley Cole
Wayne Rooney
David James
Frank Lampard
If the US loses, I'm glad its Ghana that does it; that's a country that has worked hard to get its shit together, and lets face it, they (as a country) want this more than we do. Still, it would be great if we rallied and won the whole thing, for no other reason than to witnesses the frustration of foreign soccer fans if the World Cup went to the only country that couldn't care less.
But yeah, if the Ghanians hang on, I'm rooting for them the rest of the way.
Man United would shred the USA apart, but then they would shred England apart too (let's say Rooney and Ferdinand just didn't play).
The US look like a decent team, though I don't know what else to say. Lower end of the Top 16 as the World Cup would indicate seems about correct.
Glad of Uruguay's victory today. Felt saddened by USA's defeat, though, on the other hand - they were playing hard. Felt they deserved to win...
Curious to know the opinion of you serious football fans:
How does team USA look on the world level? Obviously they can compete, but it's also obvious that they have a ways to go in order to be considered an "elite team". But, from a technical standpoint and just overall play in this World Cup, what's your opinion? I know that they won a game, lost a game, and tied two games. But, give me more of a breakdown of their play and how it compares (quality wise) with the "elites"?
Also, if Team USA played a team like, say, Manchester United, what would happen? Would Man U just shred them apart? Or would it be a good game? I'm just wondering how some of these world-class club teams with superstars on them would stack up against a mediocre (or slightly above average) national team such as the USA.
