I DIDNT HAVE TO READ THAT TO AGREE WITH YOU. IT IS SAD TO SEE PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND FOOTBALL BASH IT.MAKE ME WANT TO SHOVE MY HAND DOWN THEIR THROATS. I HEARD RECENTLY THAT AUSTRALIA PLAYS BETTER "FOOTBALL"(handball as I like to call that crap some go crazy for) THAN AMERICA DOES. HECK,THE BEST NBA PLAYER NOW IS CHINESE!! IMAGINE THAT!!!!!\n\nI LIVE IN US AND IF YOU DON'T LIVE HERE AND ARE A TRUE FOOTBALL FAN,YOU WON'T KNOW WHAT I HAD TO ENDURE EVERYDAY. THE MEDIA HYPED THE TEAM SO MUCH. SO MANY PEOPLE CAME TO THE TEAM'S DEFENSE SAYING THEY'RE RANKED FIFTH BEST IN THE WORLD WITHOUT CONSIDERING THEIR OPPONENTS OF WHICH MEXICO IS THE ONLY GOOD TEAM. IF YOU BEAT CANADA IN FOOTBALL,THAT IS NOT CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION BECAUSE CANADA DOESN'T CARE EITHER WAY. THE TEAM WAS TOUTED AS "MOST LIKELY TO MAKE IT TO THE FINALS AND EVEN WIN THE CUP. I ONLY WATCHED THEIR MATCH TO LIFT MY MOOD BECAUSE IT WAS FUNNY.\n\nTHE ONLY THING USA IS/USED TO BE GOOD AT IS TENNIS AND MAYBE THEY SHOULD STICK TO THAT.OH WAIT,THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THE FRENCH TOOK THE CUP RECENTLY. *snickers*. I guess pride really does go before a fall and for the sanity of us all who really get the sport, it is FOOTBALL AND NOT SOCCER. AMERICA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY I KNOW THAT CALLS FOOTBALL SOCCER. YOU HAVE TO GET THE NAME RIGHT BEFORE YOU CAN ACTUALLY WIN A GAME,HAI NA? i am dying from giggles right now

I totally agree with you! That's exactly why Pele himself played in the MLS and also why the US team is rated number 4 in the world at the moment. Also, you are just dumb, you didn't even ask a question, you're just angry at your own lack of skills and are taking it out on a country you already have pent up agression against. Maybe someday you'll that the players in the MLS have to be super-commited because the majority of the people in the USA look down on soccer players, proving MLS players have as much, if not more heart than other players.

its not bcos they are black or white.. its bcos they live in USA and everyone knows americans suck at real football \n\nthats why the have these little games like american football ( which is not even football) , baseball ( YAWN) etc.. in their own country and have have make believe competitions where they can crown themselves world chamions without having to play agianst any team from the world... what a bunch of losers..\n\nlook at how they were sent home .. they are still whining about it ... check ESPN and listen to the commentators for 7 mins.. u will know what i mean ..

I would not say most but some and they are entitled to their opinion.I really don't care who likes or dislikes the Americans.That is their problem if they don't like us.Not ours.

I think your intuitions are right about how Americans can't handle facing up to the fact the team USA really sucks.  (I mean the USA CZE match yesterday was a humiliation for all Americans)  But on the other hand, most other countries have been playing soccer for many generations more than Americans have.  The highschool I went to started their soccer program in 1992, and youth soccer in my town didn't start until 1995!  So if you look at it that way, it's amazing that the USA was able to send a team to the WM at all, and maybe in 2 or 3 more generations, they will actually be able to score a goal there.

dont listen to the negative posts some of the jerks say about US soccer.  its apparent that they have never excelled in any fielding sports or participated in any their whole lives. most especially my fellow americans who still live inside their caves and continue to be ignorant to the whole world. my heart broke and I was disheartened when the US lost but i however continue to support the US soccer federation because these athletes are not corrupted like our other athletes in other professional sports like basketball and footbal in the US.  i stick with my team wether they win or lose. i share the pains with them coz they gave their best considering the limited talent we really had to begin with. i am hopeful that we make some drastic changes in the near future not only to promote but also support our our competing teams.\n\nre: to thx1176...  there are up days and down days...im a fan of the sport and  lets hope FORZA does not pull a roberto baggio in the final...  it would be great to see them in the final...but what the hell are they still doing with del piero... italy has better talent chose from... and i think alexi lalas' carrot top is an eyesore myself.

Simple.Not only are we hated by most nations for being the leading country,We are also pretty good in Soccer,we got by Mexico in the playoffs last World Cup.What we Americans can fix is respecting the game.It is number 1 in the world while in the USA it is pretty far down in the list.

Soccer didn't pick up in the US becouse our history tried to issolate ourselve from Europe, we tried to remove Europrian culture and influince in the US. We have begun to reverce our views and join Europe, but it's a slow process. The key reason is there is little Major leage Soccer attation, outside the World Cup, people know little about US professianl soccer. We have Football or "American Soccer" as europe would call it translated, we have Baseball while they have Rugby and Cricket.

Tell me when and where!!!!!  American football is the most ridiculous sport I´ve ever seen!!  I think that the people who think that soccer (football for everyone outside the US) is boring have never sat through an entire World Cup match.  I don´t know how anyone could think it´s boring!\n\nAmen, brother!

Because of us...Americans. We generally confuse your football with our pigskin version of football.

bcos the US team tries to act all hollywood-ish just like the rest of commericalized sports in the states. and the last thing any true soccer fan wants is for the US to spread that to real football.
