Fairlady_Z Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I saw that game. Bet my father 20 bucks Mexico would lose. Easiest 20 i've ever made :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daviesbad04 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Yea limok, welcome to the future. England isnt a very dominant soccer team as it once was. After all, the US is 6th best in the world. And have you seen some of our games?. Kasey Keller is an excellent goalie, hes stopped tons of penalty shots and such. He did so in the Gold Cup to help US beat Panama for the cup. Back on topic though, I saw the game too. Excellent game, best of the US in a while. And good for the mexicans, they tend to come in to the US cocky as can be. And now they go back to mexico with theyre tails between theyre legs.

golazo Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 i don't know how they got to number 6 they aren't that good really. all the other top teams like brazil germany and argentina could topple them quite easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caster316 Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 what about mexico? are they in the world cup? They still need to qualify, but it's extremely likely they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are those players not the same ones on the US team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroChaos Veteran Posted September 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 4, 2005 yeah, i thought that was our like "all star" team, and they lost like 6-0 or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bayrider Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 congrats. I doubt the US will win the World Cup in '06 but i hope they perform as well, or better than they did in '02. I hope this further exposes and promotes the sport. I would love to go to a soccer game one day in the US and be among a crowd of 60-70,000 cheering for the local club.

I dont follow soccer in depth to know what players come from what country, but i can guess that European and South American teams pay a lot more for USA's top players than the MLS can so i doubt MLS has the best pool of US players. btw, i just caught the repeat of the 2nd half of the game and i must say, USA's goalie looked really sharp. Though mexico didnt play that well, USA looked really good out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
