Of course, it can’t.

Sure it can. I mean what is soccer? A bunch of guys running up and down the field kicking a little ball. Why can't our guys get just as lucky as the other guys and kick the ball into the net.

no way,Comment -
No...next question...
A better question may be:
Would the USA winning the World Cup be a bigger upset than the USA winning the gold medal in hockey in 1980?

I can't speak for the "world" but here in the United States it ranks somewhere behind Poker and slightly ahead of the WNBA in terms of popularity.Originally posted by swiss88Just the most popular sport in the world
Take the "Bar" exam. Walk into any pub in this country and ask them to name three guys on the U.S. team. I'd venture to say 99% of those asked wouldn't know.Comment -
They'll be lucky to beat Algeria.[B][B]They key isn't getting rich quick. The key is getting rich slowly, and enjoying it.

and that is why Soccer is the most popular sport on the worldComment -
just like 99 % of the rest of the world give a shit about us sports.Originally posted by BobHarveyComment -
Sorry. Soccer just isn't a big deal in the United States. It never has been and I doubt if it ever will be. The U.S. could win the cup and I don't think anyone here would notice (unless Brandi Chastain magically appeared and removed her bra).
It's not a slam on your sport...it's just a fact of life here in the states.Comment -
If the USA devoted its best athletes to soccer, we'd crush the world. Fortunately, our best athletes are doing other things.[B][B]They key isn't getting rich quick. The key is getting rich slowly, and enjoying it.

No.Comment -
yeah doing things only recongnized on USA. If a team, lets say the lakers, wins NBA championship. They are only going to get credit on the USA. They will not be famous or will sell stuff from the team on other countries. But you see, all latin america with a argentina player Messi soccer Jersey, you will never see a guy from another country wearing kobe bryant jersey unless he has family on the states.Originally posted by big0marComment -

Fukk no. They will only win 1 game at most.Comment -
The USA beat England in 1950 with just a pick-up team, so yes: absolutely it can.
You Fotbol snobs need to get your heads out of your arses

NO WAY they CAN"TComment -
Only reason I am a Yankee fan is because of Mariano Rivera, and because I like baseball and soccer. I am able to like 2 sports or more. I also like basketball and Football, but soccer is my favorite. Sports that I hate is Car Racing unless I am driving.Originally posted by Boner_18Comment -

Because it would change my life and be too good to be true
What can happen is they go to medal game..They can be up 3 nill on brazil at the half and I will watch that rotten tooted ronaldonaldino score 4 freakin second half goal just to fuk me
then he will look at me on camera and smile with his yellow rotten teeth while 30 thousand brazilian voodoo spells chant in the crowd and the spanish bastard yells goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

The US is definitely capable of upseting teams that are better than us if we play excellent and other teams slack a little bit. Thats why they play the game boys. See the game against Spain and Brazil in the CONCAF.Comment -
why don t u discuss better sport another thread ?Comment -
You're saying you hate soccer, but really you should try to watch a few World Cup matchs, not all games will be exciting for guys like you, but I'm sure you will start to like it (at least a little bit!) after understanding the game a bit more.Originally posted by 2daBank
If you like baseball, which I tried to watch a few times but I find it really boring and especially long, you should like soccer
Well maybe you won't want to watch, but for example I think the USA vs England game on Saturday will be quite good to watch with a lot of intensity, you should try to watch it before saying you hate the sport

ive watched it from time to time as i got a friend really into it, i have a pretty decent understanding of it (thanks to him) and at times it is ok and i dont hate it just dont really care for it, way to much damn running for meOriginally posted by swiss88You're saying you hate soccer, but really you should try to watch a few World Cup matchs, not all games will be exciting for guys like you, but I'm sure you will start to like it (at least a little bit!) after understanding the game a bit more.

when i got money on it sometimes its tolerable as kinda nerve racking when you know 1 goal and it very well could be over, the whole tie thing really bothers me....yes i like baseball but would agree it can be boring and there are not many games i can watch on TV without doing something else at the same time at points during the game, much more into baseball at the park....
Comment -
swiss, im not 1 to judge things without trying them 1st and trying to understand them....just not really for me but to each is own all i was saying is US shouldnt win as most ppl in this country really wouldnt care all that much, a country that loves it should win it, although that would make it kinda funny if US ever won as that would have to really piss off other countries who love the sport
Comment -
the tie thing dont have to bother you
You can take a team pic instead of ML and tie gets a refund
Or you can dance the dog and draw like I will be doing
its alot more fun when you are aheadComment -
