I don't think the Germans are a sure thing for the next round, if Ghana and Serbia beat Australia then they have to beat Ghana who will obv be content to play for a draw

I didnt know we were that good. Probably cause no one cares. i bet theres more mexicans around here watching WC than Americans. They probably could confirm this with ratings but 28 Mexicans probably on 1 tv.

do we make agreement about who's starting next thread or are we gonna allow some gimmick creations again??

anyway, who is starting next one?

USA has a pretty big population. You don't need a large percentage of the population to be into it to get a decent team together.
06-18-2010 , 10:26 AM
The rankings are based on competitive games and as usa's are against crappy opposition they have a decent winrate

I dont know why but I want post 9999

true, for a decent team you need decent league and above all money money money... if US decide to become football power they just need to inject few billions $$$ into that sport - next thing you know, US plays semi-finals/finals
06-18-2010 , 10:31 AM
no way wed spend a few billion on soccer
06-18-2010 , 10:34 AM
You don't need money. A football, an open space, jumpers for goalposts and a passion for the game is all you need. A deep in run in a world cup could inspire a generation of kids to take up the game, no matter what that nation's general view on the sport is.

Historically, the best players in the world have come out of the slums of Brazil etc. What funding did they get?
