| okr said: I wished football/soccer fans would stop creating these kind of threads. For an avid football fan like me (I'm currently watching Chelsea vs. Barcelona - go Barca!) most of the comments in these kind of threads - pro and con - make my head hurt. @FootballFan: Like most football fans from England who feel the urgent need to try to make fun of US soccer ("supporting USA is almost a suicide"), you probably have never heard that the most successful female national team in the world is the one from USA (world champion in 1991 and 1999). Oh wait, I forgot, women don't count, when boys discuss sports, so here's another one: the male US national soccer team is currently on FIFA world ranking #15, only 8 places behind England.... |
Firstly, i didnt make fun of US soccer i made fun of US football. (World definition see football.) Also those football rankings are not greatly reliable. Im not sure if you are aware but the its based on Ranking points and they are largly decided by how many wins you get. USA i believe play in the CONCACAF which is very poor standard of FOOTBALL. CONCACAF (the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football) is the continent-wide governing body for football in North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Three South American entities, the independent nations of Guyana and Suriname, and the French department of French Guiana, are also members. These countries standards are nothing short of embarrasing compared to the quality of FOOTBALL Europeans have come to expect. USA may be high on the rankings but when you consider there monthly oposition its no suprise at all.
Also i would like to see France play against Croatia. Looking at the ranking though Croatia should be able to win so....
