OK, aroma, I've got to ask, what have you got against the US? I wasn't rooting for Argentina until you showed up...

Not trying to start anything here, but it really pisses me off how Europeans look down on US football. We may be new to the world scene, but we're here to stay, so get used to it.

[lallous: this is nothing. We haven't even broken a hundred posts yet. No reason to start a new thread until it gets really long.]

*fingers tomahawk* Ok aroma...monday is scalp day...

BTW...is that aroma for the smell coming out of yur britches?

Or are you, like all Europeans, scared deep down inside, that America will win the World Championship?

Well, we'll see....yes, we'll see...

It was on the radio in the uk yesterday that in one worldcup USA went down 1-0 after five mins to sweden or some country like that and half a dozen USA fans left the ground thinking the game was over and that football was first goal wins!!! i mean how stupid's that?

So the day that USA win a match in a world cup against England, Brazil, or Italy, they will be recognised as a good team but until this day i have always thought of USA as a poor team. (no offence) it's only because you are new to the game!!!!

So Tyson v Lewis any1 up for losing their meds by betting on Tyson?

I love USA Soccer team!!!
they are one of the most fair players I've ever seen!
they are innocents and the most important: their game is very good.

We cannot say that a team is poor because the hasn't beaten any 'BIG' team, you see senegal?
now you can say that senegal is a big team just because they beat France?
I don't think so, I think that today there are no big or poor teams, Brazil won with hurries vs Turkey, and that game was not fair, Turkey desevers to win that. So It's brazil bigger than turkey because they beat them? no, of course not.

Paraguay, you can say Paraguay is one of the big teams, because in South America they are aleays fighting, beating Brazil, Argentina, etc.. But, they matched with South Africa, and who is south africa in soccer?? NONE! so, is araguay bigger than south africa or what?
We have missunderstood some concepts here.

You cannot call a team 'poor' that does not exist. Not in a soccer topic.

And Wakkos say that, Wakkos the European Soccer lover.

Brilliant. Judge all US fans based on the behavior of an idiotic half dozen. I won't deny that there are some extremely stupid people in the US, but you'll find those sort of people anywhere. And what does that have to do with the subject anyway?

Well, we're not as new to the game as you think. The day we win in a World Cup against England, Brazil, or Italy? Would a 1-0 win against England be good enough. How about a 1-0 win against England 52 years ago? But that was a fluke, right? And the Portugal match was a fluke too, right? I suppose it will always be a fluke, even if we end up winning the World Cup. When that day comes (and it will come), though, I won't care what our brethren across the pond think.

Say, when was the last time England won a World Cup? What's that? 1966? Hmm... Considering you guys are old pros at the game, that seems like a long time, no?

But enough of this trash talk. We'll just have to sit back and see what happens. And if I'm gracious enough to congratulate you when England win, I would appreciate it if you return the favor. Cheers!

But let's get back to the matches at hand... did anyone just watch that incredible comeback by Croatia? I turned it on in the second half and they were down 1-0, and it looked like Italy had the game in hand. Vieri threatened to score but put it wide, and the next minute Croatia are back down the pitch and they score! Then Rapaic had an amazing turn around shot that he lofted over the keeper, and it's 2-1 Croatia. Italy had chances to even the score, hitting the post on a free kick and putting the ball in the net offside, but it wasn't their day.

Wow. See, that's why I love this game. Not because of this silly 'my team is better than yours' crap, but because of moments like these!

[This message has been edited by Suho1004 (edited 06-08-2002).]

I must admit and this includes England too many teams are diving at any chance they think they can get a freekick and it's getting out of hand. USA don't seem to employ this tactic and i respect them for it!!!!

Good luck for monday Cheers Aroma.

Ps what time is it when the matches are shown in USA, In UK the matches are shown at 6:30am, 7:30am, 10:30am, and 12:30pm

I have no idea...I'm in Germany...which could get kinda rough here, should Germany lose today...*glances around*

GO CAMAROOOON!!!!!
