US Men's National Soccer Team Thread: USA #1 - Page 529 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Artie/OGKush, how would you guys feel about dressing up America in green and having Piojo take over the national team? i hate America but at this point, i wouldnt even mind it. the euros are suppose to be taking us to a new level but they are just making this team worse. America is raping the league right now and i have faith that they would get it done vs NZ.

I root for America, but unless they naturalize Sambueza, Rey, Mosquera, Osvaldo and bring back Benitez from the grave, I dont think it will work. Huge fan of Herrera though. All their Mexicans have a better alternative out there

Just for the record:

[ ] Mexico will beat CR
[ ] USA will lose to Panama

Cruzin is now a combined 0-47 on WCQ predictions.

what if i told you that with these ratings, mexico still should have won last night @ Costa Rica. we were a tap in away from taking control of this game and likely to win, but the ****ing idiot had to mess it up.

all we need is for these ****tards to get 5's and we will ****ing have enough vs New Zealand.

but before we do that, we need to make the biggest ****ing change, and it is finding a new manager. just like i said when he was first hired, VUCE is NOT the man for this job. he has done nothing to deserve this. how the **** do you hire him when at the same time you have guys like Ricardo La Volpe or Tomas Boy or Marcelo Bielsa avaliable. instead they choose to go with a man who had just gotten fired at Monterrey. unreal.

Wrong thread bro

I dunno, when you can only get 40% for a must-win against a CONCACAF rival, I fail to see how you'll surpass that for a game against New Zealand.

conditions for bet:
1) Mexico wins hex by 3 points or more
2) Mexico wins 2013 CONFED Cup
3) Mexico wins 2013 Gold Cup
4) Mexico is seeded in pot 1 for WC2014 drawing
5) Mexico qualifies for RO16 in WC2014
6) Mexico wins WC2014

not out of the hot water yet. Still need to fade Mexico winning the whole ****ing thing.

I was busy the past couple days and totally forgot about these games. I was about to check the scores, then decided to go back and read through this thread........

WOW, was that a great use of twenty minutes. I laughed out loud at least ten times.

Which is only two twigs, four rocks and a handful of sand less than they usually charge.

Why is an American buying an American player's jersey too far?

Quick World Cup question, after the first pot of 8 seeded teams, do they seed teams NCAA style like a 2 seed, 3 seed, 4 seed? Or is it just whatever the **** FIFA wants? I am thinking US would be a mid low 2 seed or high 3.

I couldn't care less about Mexico qualifying or not. They suck and we are good. I am most excited about the play of Johannson, who looks like he could be really good.
