They are so negative and down on their team, they sit there watching, waiting for them to fuck up it's so funny.

This is why I find the whole "AMERCIA'S GONNA WIN, FUCK YEAH" attitude so difficult to stomach.

Because those fans with a team actually capable of winning, never actually think they're going to win...

So when a team that has an extreme outside chance of doing anything, start proclaiming they've a massive chance, then it's extremely annoying!

Wow....... just fucking wow.

Charlie Davies not playing for us = we don't stand a chance.

Dempsey and Donovan can't do it all alone.

To be fair I think part of it is just straight up overcompensating. It isn't exactly easy to be a Footy fan in the ol Us of A, so I think a lot of the Us fans feel like they have to put a little more sauce on their steaks you know? It kinda reminds me of Apple fans before the company released the iPod and starting becoming mainstream. It's the few the proud and it feels somewhat special to be a part of that. I think to a certain degree the team needs fans to have that kind of hope. Theres always another day/game and all that...

No problem bud. I was hoping someone would use it. It's full of win.

 

[Wes]

I was hoping someone else would start one so absolutely I'll add it to the op MidnightRider.

Czech Republic Sucks! USA USA!!! We are gonna win 5-0. You'll see! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
...I'm kidding, Google.
Here's to a good game and everyone stepping it up to earn that ticket to South Africa.

I was gonna go to the game in Hartford tonight, but my face is nice and swollen. Pissed, but whatever.

People who go round chanting ENGLAND, ENGLAND in town centers are called racists here :lol

Yeah.... Looks like it does say Bornstein on his back.

I named it "Thompson's Premier" due to I had number of friends and what not that wanted to play and then figured I might as well get GAF in on it.

I hope people don't care..... it's just a name anyway.....

Wisdom teeth removed on Friday, taking longer than expected to recover.

P.S. Is your name an allusion to...

if that's the revs site then no.

it's an allusion to Allman Brothers

Yeah it's kinda hard to generalize Mexico, a lot of the states whit high number of native tribes are pretty indifferent to sports in general, like Oaxaca. Baseball is pretty popular in the north, but football is still the most viewed and talked sport. In Baja most of the people that like baseball come from Sonora and Sinaloa, or their fathers come from there.

And tomorrow my team is going to get destroyed by Netherlands, unless Aguirre fixes the slow defense.

Aguirre's not a moron.

He'll defend deep, perhaps even double up against the wingers, and stop them getting around the back.

Holland will be a much easier task for Mexico than England, because their strength is in dominating midfield play, and getting the ball out wide.

 

[Clydefrog]

I guess it's fitting then that his back is facing us. Bornstein better not be a WC starter :|

There are so many selections Bradley made for the 30 man squad that just piss me off. And yet, he couldn't call up Davies.

Also, I assume Americans are unfamiliar with irony/sarcasm, so...

Irony is in our veins.

Hmmm I don't forsee it being a problem despite the name. I'll check before I post the OP.

Aww yeah! ESPN with the hype for USMNT.

 

[sneakypete]

Just saw tonight's lineup for the USMNT, where's Howard?!?!

Ah ok, I was just worried he was injured for a second.

Yeah, it's basically a lineup to see who are the other 12 going to South Africa.

Most definitely. I'd go batshit insane if that was our starting 11 for the actual tournament :lol

 

[Prince]

North Korea scored two really nice goals against Greece (2-2)

That Tae-Sea Jong dude looks pretty good, his shooting style seems similar to C. Ronaldo.

Fuck that! i'd go batshit insane if Bradley fielded our starting 11. Can't afford to risk injuries only weeks away.

Gooch is rockin' the mountain man beard. That at the very least should scare some fowards he faces in the World Cup.

We need to replace osorio with Moreno. Also add Castro in the midfield along with Guardado, Gio and Torrado plus chicharito as a starter.

Seeing the greece defense i can't help but to feel confident about argentina's group, it will be sooo easy :lol

Yeah, I really want to see Gio, Guardado and Chicharito together, specially since Chicharito needs all the time he can get, to get used to European defenders.
