the US are still in …. where do you get your information from?
The statistics, they are out!
Stupid other anonymous person, the USA is still in, they have 4 points, and came second in their pool!
That’s what I thought. USA and Mexico play tomarrow for the second round. I always expect this to be a good one. It will determine once and for all who is a better country. Want USA to win, though my money is on Mexico.
I want USA outta there personally, cuz Mexico IS the better team there… But all of that is irelevant… Brazil plays vs. Belgium on moday, and that’s a simple win…
GO Brazil GO!
i don’t consider anything in the world cup as easy wins.
Italy nad Brazil are last 2 of 5 Top teams, with France, Portugal and Argentina on their way home. Suddenly Spain, England and Germany look pretty good again…
Spain was ALWAYS good my friend. England is in because they ARE playing easy teams, as for Germany, they won’t win their next match…
Mexico is looking good is waht you mean to say F_alk! No one would have seen them making it through the first pool, but they have. They will make it far I think…
Bottom line - No one beats Brazil :razz:
Hey, hey, hey this is gonna be Mexico’s third straight time reaching the second round so I wouldn’t underestimate them. I think that Brazil is going to take it all the way (you have to respect their soccer program), though Italy is a good challenger.
Put whom I really want to win? Senegal. Strujer Ek Hadji Diouf (21) s one of the most talent players out there, and it would be nice to see a lower third world country beat all of these “developed countries.” Those Senegals have a lot of heart (evident after they beat France). Plus, when’s the last time Africa won a world cup.
Oh, one more time, GO USA! :grin:
congrats to Senegal on advancing to the next round.
Who knows, with luck they have a good chance of making it in the semifinals.
Some stats:
(1)No african team ever won the world cup (or even made it to the finals).
(2)Even spain was always good, they only once achieved any major international title (1964, european champion).
(3)England’s gone through the group with Sweden, Argentina and Nigeria, not what i call an easy group. They had some luck though, but that’s what’s it all about.
(4)Germany is going to go for it’s 14th quarterfinal in its 15th world cup.
(5)Up to now, Mexico never qualified for a semifinal. The US on the other hand qualified once for a semifinal (in 1930 though g).

@TG:
Sierra Leone!? Isn’t that a part of France!? But they get beat by third world Senegal, which is kinda sad considering they won the cup last year. But you should’ve seen the celebration in Senegal, the President declared it a National Holiday and rode around in the country a top a pickup truck with a Soccer Ball in his hands!
T 6,
Yeah! My Goof. I Knew it was ona dem S African kuntrys. Jest tryin ta sho off mi edykashun. I’m glad he could selabreat. I din’t know Steven Senagal was a third wirld kuntry all to hisself. It must be ruff!

Well, how bout dat!
US beat Meheco(spelled as pronounced). And now to play Germany.
Two LOSERS gonna play each other if I put the above lines of thinking together…
“Go USA”…hopeful
and
“Germany will not win it’s next game.”
“Go Sri Lanka!” - Xi
I though I heard that football(soccer) in the USA is played by 17 million kids now. that was compared to 5.5 million kids playing baseball. Is dat rite?
–------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
America is changing. It’s dat EVIL Euroinfluence. AHHHHHHHHHH! :lol: - Xi
Us makes Semi Finals… Who the HELL can see that coming?
My Lord this is indeed intresting! I can’t believe USA won! I guess this proves we’re the better nation once and for all (heh-heh). They play Germany next, and I think they have a good shot at winning.
USA vs. Sengal in the Finals! (I think it’ll be the first time either CONTINENT has won a World Cup) :D
“I though I heard that football(soccer) in the USA is played by 17 million kids now. that was compared to 5.5 million kids playing baseball. Is dat rite?”
Where did you get those stats from? How does Basketball rank?
Wouldnt surprize me. My town has about 1000 pre-High School Soccer players, and only about 500 pre-High School Baseball players. Also, its Town vs Town for Soccer, Baseball we play against ourselves.
That’s what I’m thinking. My school also sponsors a soccer program and I though there would be way more than 17 million players. Also, soccer is much better in baseball IMO because there’s really no size limit onto how you play (though I prefer confined spaces myself.
