dontpanic_ Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 bit of a non-event really. most of regulars from both sides missing. not really been mentioned in the media here yeah, a lot notables from both sides were missing, although the us still had donovan and mcbride. i thought the us outplayed the brits even though england has a better team. in the second half, they were winning all the 50/50 balls and had a lot of opportunities to score. ppl forget that the us is ranked highly now. you were right about the low media coverage too. i didn't hear about this game until i turned it on during the second half.

Professor Peedston Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Yeah, the US team is a lot better at football/soccer than people give them credit for. I think we don't get recognition for it because we call the sport by a different name than everybody else in the world, as if that somehow changes the content or damages its integrity. :rolleyes: Also people love the idea of the United States being bad at something, anything. :P *braces for anti-American backlash* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petit Prince Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 Also people love the idea of the United States being bad at something' date=' [i']anything.[/i] :P *braces for anti-American backlash* Are many Americans actually interested in football? I just think that football isn't an American sport. That doesn't mean, that your national team is that bad actually. But what you said might be a part of it too, I suppose. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that football isn't an American sport. That doesn't mean, that your national team is that bad actually. But what you said might be a part of it too, I suppose. :/ A lot of American youth are interested in football, or soccer as we call it becuase 'American football' is a game played with your hands? Anyhow, we've had our own league now for some years, MLS, and it's growing, so football's popularity stateside is on the rise. That doesn't make it an 'American' sport, though. Football is still fourth to baseball, American football, and basketball. Also, I think it's sad that our national team can beat teams in Central America that consider the sport to be a religion, when it doesn't get enough coverage here. So I can understand when the world wants us to lose at football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
