Why does the USA mens soccer team play bad in the beginning?
I am a huge soccer fan and when I was watching the 2010 World Cup, I noticed that USA came out very flat in the beginning of most games by either letting up a goal or almost being scored on. Also, in a recent game they almost let up a goal a few minutes into the game. Is there any reason they do this even though they have an overall good team?
Buying a USA Soccer Jersey?
So i have really gotten back into soccer since the world cup is here again and my interest is sparked back up. I want to get a new USA soccer jersey but i am undecided on a few things. one is who to get. i want to get either dempsey, bocanegra, or cherundolo. i am pretty set on cherundolo though. the second problem is what color. they are both very nice but i cant make up my mind.
here is the blue

and the white

leave an answer on what to get and why.
my reason for cherundolo is i have a lot of pride, i guess thats the word, in my number, 6 in case you didnt know and he also plays defender, which is what i play.
Why do people criticize the USA soccer/football?
People always judge the USA fans passion for the sport. In their defense, they’re nowhere near as passionate about it than other countries are. But in South Africa. the USA had a large number of fans go to the games. In the 1994 World Cup, it was hosted by the USA and it set records for highest attended WC ever and it had 12 less matches than the WC currently has. Right now, they’re tied for 13th with Serbia and that is a respectable ranking considering our athletes don’t grow up playing and aspiring to be soccer/football players. Why do people criticize USA soccer/football in general and their fans?
Is soccer the next sport the USA must dominate?
USA needs to rule the soccer world. We need to win the world cup not only once but multiple times. We need to win the world cup for the troops that fight for freedom around the world. We need to win the world cup for the troops who spread freedom all around the world. We need to win the world cup for the troops who died in wars. We rule ice hockey a US team Anaheim won the Stanley cup. USA team won the world cup of basketball, baseball and ice hockey. I believe. USA beat Italy in basketball to win the world championship. USA won the WBC. Ice hockey we won both the internation cup and the Stanley cup. UFC we Americans rule the fighting world. All the bad fighters come from other countries such as Canada, Brazil and the UK. Chuck Liddell is the best fighter in the world. We rule like every sport that is popular here. In tennis Americans wins all the time. Andy Roddick is the best player in the world. Rugby, cricket, and golf arent mainstream sports here.
Stuck in a USA Soccer arguement lol?
first he said usa sucks…then i said:
suck? who was ranked number four by FIFA in 06? who’s in the top 15 by FIFA this year with only a few qualifiers so far. we came back from a 2-0 deficit in the last 15 minutes of the game to tie it up vs. el savador …idk about u but that doesnt sound like suckign to me and theyre only getting better every game.
the only reason why usa isnt … Read Morenumber 1 is because countries like spain, italy, brazil, argentina..etc…grew up playing soccer everywhere they went…to work, at school, before going to bed so they were brought up with lots of skills without training. usa‘s training system with sports is so much better then all of these countries but we just dont have that natural ability to play; we have to attend camps and academies.
poland isnt even close to usa. remember when adu who was like 16 scored a hat trick vs them his first game lol…yaa. oh…and CONCACAF champs how many times?

fifa/COCA COLA rankings have been, are and always will be a complete and utter joke. anyone and everyone who knows a wee bit about futbol will tell you that. secondly, losing 2-0 to EL SALVADOR and coming back to win the game is HARDLY something to brag about. el … Read Moresalvador…BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA. the only time the US will get better in soccer is if enough immigrants come to the US and just like with baseball, if enough immigrants come to US to play soccer, then maybe they’ll be half decent. MAYBE HALF DECENT. and hello, i said poland sucks, and although poland sucks right now at least Poland came TWICE as the third best team in the world. talk to me when US wins something instead of beating jamaica or el salvador, or wins the world cup or at least comes in third in the world cup.
even if u don’t like usa just help me out with a response lol…he got me pretty good.
I never knew anybody who was into soccer like 2 or 3 years ago, now frickin EVERYBODY is obsessed with World Cup and MLS. Is this a new fad or have I just not been paying attention?
