Your (Americans that is) ex captain - Claudio Reyna - plays for the club that I watch every week - Manchester City. In fact quite alot of you national team play over in the UK.

I'd imagine they earn far more in Europe.It's also probably why the USA team doesn't suck so much any more. :club:

no. Ive seen the previews. Mexico would be down 1-0..there would be an obvious penalty that the ref wont call, then mexico would get pissed like every time they lose and theyd forget about scoring and try to kill anyone that has the ball. it happened in '02 and i cried.

yea the US actually doesnt suck because of that. The reason so many players are in Europe is because they are so cheap (inexpensive) compared to other countries..SO they buy them because theyre fast and fit and then they develope their skills over there.

very true, but it's growing little by little. Watching the opening Ceremony is very cool as well. other than the olympics, the world cup is the only other time we see a lot of countries come together. its beautiful. It's like a HUGE war, but without guns and bombs. even though i'm sure there is a few deaths in every world cupI just it the time difference since I really can't see all the games live, unless I want to stay up late night and all early morning

world cup will be a good one this year, a lot of strong teams. US has a really tough group. Spain, France, and England seem to be strong.And then there's alwasy Brazil. Should be a good one, you can't even say there's a front runner because south korea could make some noise like it did last time.

I really can't see USA getting past the 1st round.
Italy should win your group, its the Czechs you need to worry about.
well my team is mexico, like I stated in the first post. USA's key game is their first game against Czech. The face italy for their second game..if they lose both, the easiest and last game they have in the first round against Ghana wouldnt even matter. If USA loses their first game, its over for themteneight

Reyna probably earns around $40k - $50k a week. So not too bad.

thats what we did last time, in mexico the clubs would stay open till 9 or 10 am so you'd go drink and then theyd turn off the music in the morning and everyone would watch the game in a huge screen, it was pretty sweet....
