sdb815 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 We do have a decent team this year. I think soccer/football is starting to more popular here, which is good. Heh aren't we in the same group as the Czechs?

tiagosilva29 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Sigh... Come one now... we don't need 32 threads for every official squad list in the World Cup. I set official in italic because they are not actually official. The guessing came to an end on Monday with the deadline for coaches to confirm their squad lists for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™.Some national coaches had already named their definitive 23-man lists prior to the deadline, while others, like England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson, confirmed the provisional squads they had announced previously. The official lists will be confirmed by FIFA on Thursday at 12.00CET. And even the teams listed on Thursday can change (and some probably will). What we really need is a Neowin's Official FIFA World Cup 2006 thread.

bush Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 what do you think, should freddy adu have been included? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/461835-usa-soccer-squad-world-cup-2006/#findComment-587516479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powa Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 So Howard joined Everton on loan, I wasn't sure if the deal had gone through. I would have taken Utd's young defender Jonathon Spector. He's been on a season-long loan at Charlton and has played quite a lot of Premiership games for them. If you wanted players playing at the highest level, then you should have taken him. Take Adu too, the world wants to see what he's got.

bayrider Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Adu should get a chance, even if he doesn't play, let him tag along as an extra so he can gain that experience at least.

bayrider Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Gavin: So what its called a different name in other countries. The fact that the word Soccer of Football isnt prevalent in the title "Neowin's Official FIFA World Cup 2006" makes your post even more pointless. No point in igniting an old flame for such a dumb issue. Get over it.

pixelpixel Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 The fact that the word Soccer of Football isnt prevalent in the title "Neowin's Official FIFA World Cup 2006" I stated ?World Series? as refering to Baseball, Basketball and American Foolball. Those American Sports. That was a jo;). ;) So I think I did have a point.

bayrider Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 i see... might hvae taken it a bit out of context, but world series only applies to baseball. And believe it or not, World Cup is pretty big in the USA. Soccer is the most played organized sport in the US and even Canada. The US has a lot of south americans and Europeans so the World Cup isn't another wacky euro sport on TV. In Canada soccer is even bigger... this is my home town of Montreal, Quebec after Greece won the Euro Cup in '04. Almost every bar in Montreal will be televising WC matches. Don't feel so bitter, Canada never makes the WC but we watch it with a passion anyways, this is Montreal after greece won Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/461835-usa-soccer-squad-world-cup-2006/#findComment-587517800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
