Are you ready for it? For the embarrassing US team to get crushed in three straight games? For the only guy on the team that anyone knows, Lando Donovan, to embarrass himself and his nation by showing up fat and out of shape (lol jk no one cares it's soccer)?

But but but...isn't the US soccer team improving? lol no. All 53 players combined are worth only 2 players from a real soccer team:

That's right, lol US soccer's player values are right up there with Ecuadorian and North Korean player values. LULZ.

Can't wait for this debacle the be over. US soccer is an embarrassment to USA#1 and should be outlawed.

I don't like the coach, the German Klinsmann, saying the USA can't win. Wtf kind of attitude is that for an American coach. Thank God Herb Brooks didn't think like that back in 1980 when he brought the Russian hockey bear to its knees.

Isn't soccer that game that elementary age kids play before they're old enough for sports?

Politifying, just read this Slate piece on why Croatian nationalism makes soccer folks uncomfortable:

Even Bin Laden is a huge fan of the game, according to Nasser al-Bahri, one of the leader's former bodyguards. In his memoir, he said Bin Laden's favorite position is center forward.

I messed up, failed to scan the names of Nations in the OP, which are political things, and I missed the words "should be outlawed". Errybuddy loves a good political ban!
Please accept my warmest apologies and proceed.

Watching my 2nd World Cup this year. Way, way too much flopping in soccer, think this could be rectified by making a couple rule changes. Needs to happen.
