US Men's National Soccer Team Thread: USA #1 - Page 588 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Not really, hence the problem with sorting by "results" to make a point like ike is doing

how about this for a discussion,

i'd like to see some opinions on what the best 11 are for this team...every game is a different lineup so it seems hard to piece it together..what formation will they be playing in the wc?

At what point does Johansson vs. Jozy become a serious discussion?

you are legit clueless. listen to everyone else and just get out. If Mexico was in USA's group, the world wouldn't be saying "LDO Germany and Portugal." they would be saying "wow, this is going to be an amazing group. Germany and one of Portugal/Mexico." Mexico is a favorite to getting out of their group. If you truly think that our chances of making it out of our group are just as bad as it is for USA to get out of their group, you are a moran. Also let's bet on it.

Oh, so this is where improved results against the same set of squads don't count because it's not UEFA? I hate to break it to you, but USA plays 1, maybe 2, meaningful games against Europe every four years. The only way to rationally look at USA's level of play is through their results in qualification and the gold cup. They are much better.

You couldn't find one other person in the world that would believe this, even if you made an alt account you couldn't be dumb enough to say that twice.

Man the only thing that could really sway me is camp workouts... I'd love to see them both up there, but I don't think the lineup really works out if you do that. Where do you put Dempsey? Does that mean no Donovan? And etc.

It's going to be pretty hard for anyone to have a solid opinion on that. It's not like any of us are watching the dutch league religiously to see how he's doing.

I can confidently say that he commits 1.7 fouls per game.

I should clarify: that's in the Eredivisie. That number leaps to a worrying 1.9 fouls per game in the Europa League.

Sick luxury to have two strikers better than Sturridge.

Home and away are both pretty ugly, but I guess the away jerseys are less ugly.

Were you living in a cave last fall? Do you recall them needing to get bailed out by the US and nearly not qualifying in what is the easiest region to qualify in? Literally no one outside of Mexico would be saying "Germany and one of Portugal/Mexico" if Mexico was in our spot. They would be saying Germany and Portugal, like they already are now.

Because you apparently want to be taken seriously. If you enter with a ridiculous opinion and refuse to back it with money then it's not a good opinion.

Getting pretty tired already of the anti-USA trolls. If you want to troll the USA fans, do it in the general World Cup thread or, better yet, on another message board.

The away jersey is an astro popsicle. I used to eat those after little league games always.

Is that how sports forums work? Taking a bet at worse odds is how you prove your opinion? OK chief sorry you aren't getting your freeroll

Point taken. I'll step out of this circle jerk. USA!

. Turkey has an underrated team IMO. And I LOVE RB stadium. It was very well done.

I would love to make a bet on the USA getting over 1 point in group stage. Printing more money than the Feds with that bet.

Nope. It's just incendiary. You don't offer constructive analysis. Just standard cable news "oh noes sky is falling" hyperbole. You're welcome if you, you know, provide analysis and describe why you think the fair market odds are incorrect. Cruizn is our troll. You will not defeat him. There is only room for one.
