Doesn't care and never will.

Soccer is the one sport I am ok with America losing. In fact, I prefer it.

so thats the american way of thinking, were so good and above the rest of the world, we look down and discredit the sport everyone else loves because we suck at it and america can never suck at anything. if america is so great why not show, it and build up a soccer system that can improve the quality of players, the problem with usa soccer is that they treat it like any other american sport, they just look for the biggest strongest players to put out there and hope their physical prowess makes the difference, guess what, soccer is not that kind of sport, the best teams in the world have small players to average height players, with low centers of gravity, great skill and technique. the sad thing is that with america's big population, you think they could find plenty of young kids that are average height.

like baseball, bunch of roided up guys hitting a ball with a stick, only sport where you can make millions and still be a fat tub of lard, youd have to be a moron to think soccer is not a real sport, the pysical endurance and technique and skill required to be good is crazy. and america doesn't care about soccer, yet 93,000+ sold out the rose bowl yesterday

I like the trash talking when a team beats the US in soccer like anyone here even cares. Good more Mexico I guess...

If soccer ever becomes more popular than hockey, you have the permission to beat me with a pole.

Why?

Because it will never happen.

If our best athletes played soccer, we would dominate. Imagine if guys like Brian Urlacher, Rey Lewis, Chris Johnson, LeBron James, Derrick Rose or even baseball players like Justin Upton and Josh Hamilton played soccer. Urlacher, when he was 22, was 6'4 260 pounds are ran a 4.4 forty. I promise you that forty time would make him top 10 in speed in all of professional soccer. AND HE IS 6'4 260 POUNDS. Chris Johnson would be the fastest man in soccer, and someone like LeBron James, with his length and size, at goalie?

The issue is, all those athlete chose to play a man's sport. Not soccer.

How many guys in soccer run a 4.4 forty? Or a 4.2(which is how fast Chris Johnson is). Or a 4.1(like Deon Sanders used to run)

I'd love to see the list.

or 7 foot wingspans.

If these athletes comitted to soccer at age 10 rather than other sports, we would dominate soccer as well. Instead, we send out a buch of leftovers.

Pretty much. Embarresing.

Don't give me that BS.

If you live in Russia, would you care if your international American Football Team got hammered by the US 50-3? Or when your Spanish National Basketball team, by far the best European team, still got beat down the the US Olympic Basketball team?

Of course you don't. You don't care when the local American Football team loses. Why should we care if our National Soccer team loses?

Maybe not but I wouldn't be so up my own ass to blame it on us not caring. We would suck plain and simple. US is better. Canadian national football team isn't as good as the yanks or Mexico but least most of us don't go on on how we would be beasts if we dedicated ourselfs football.

Anyway this is deja vu from Canada VS USA in hockey. Same arrogant attitude. "We don't care", "What's hockey","If we played as much as you" blah, blah Show your country some decency.

Funny seeing how Americans pretend not to care when they lose and call it not a 'real sport' but love to jump on the patriotic bandwagon as soon as they win something.Good-Apollo

Not all Americans are like that, just the arrogent ones that think if America isn't the best in the world then it can't be a real sport. So that would include tennis, rugby, cricket, golf, polo, football... etc

It's even funnier when some say that if their best athletes did play football then they would dominate the sport. Where as in real life just because someone is good at 1 or a even a few sports it doesn't mean they would be good at all sports even if they trained from a young age.

I sense some butthurt in this thread. I wonder how the comments would have been if the US won this game.

Why? Because they aren't American sports?

Have you even tried to watch any of them?

Anyway just because you find them boring doesn't mean they are to the people that like them.

I can say the same about American football because it takes 3 hours to play a 60 minute game, and it stops every 4 seconds.

The rowdy Mexican supporters (all 2 of them) at the Mexican restaurant we went to on Saturday night were hilarious. They were so loud and rude, and pissing people off, but they were awesome. It's a lot more fun to make friends with the rowdy drunks than it is to be their enemy. They loved us and were giving us high fives. I could care less about soccer, but that was sure as hell fun to witness and be a part of.

I'm sorry, but this is a load of crap. Not about the part about the US losing at soccer, but in fact, a large majority of Americans don't care for the sport. In a gallup poll only 3% of Americans picked soccer as their favorite sport. http://www.gallup.com/poll/4735/Sports.aspx

In this link popularity of sports in the US is ranked by internet browsing habits. Soccer ranks 11th place, just above skate boarding, but below running, martial arts, and water sports. http://www.mostpopularsports.net/in/united-states-of-america/

I can name every NBA team, most NFL teams, and several baseball and hockey teams. THe only proffesional soccer team I can name is the local Colorado Rapids. I didn't even know there was a US-Mexico soccer game until this thread. :P

[QUOTE="EasyStreet"]ESPN TV rating say other wise, it is not major sport but it is very popular and the fans here are very knowledgeable. Can we please and I mean please fire Bob Bradley, why was Maurice Edu not playing? dagreenfish

[QUOTE="Darthkaiser"]And now we'll have ESPN latin america commentators talking about how good the Mexico selection is for about two months from now. (They're from Mexico but no bias at all no sir not at all) Seriously, when mexico lost the world cup ESPN latin america kept talking about the team and how good it was how far could the've gotten what strategies should be changed...while the world cup was meh to them. Still I gotta say Mexico did a very good job, congratulations to themForsakenWicked

Really? what do you guys see? because ESPN latin america is one of the less biased goup of commentators, they are really, really harsh when it comes to the team, sure, when they have a good tournament they say it, but when they fail, oh God they destroyed the team (if they deserve it of course), if you think this guys are biased, then stay away from open mexican TV, now that guys are so biased is not even fun to watch anymore.
