Horrible news for US Soccer

sucks, hope he's able to return at some point

I know you're not supposed to think about things like this, everything in perspective, etc., but its a pretty big blow to our chances to qualify I think. He can score goals and seems to be one of those guys that doesn't shrink away from the big moment.

We have already qualified for the WC.

The US have as good of a chance as any UK team does of winning the World Cup........well now we do

Only one UK team there and we would destroy the American team.

Skel, in a head to head matchup fine, I'll let you have your way...but in the WORLD CUP you've got no better chance than we do...and that's what I posted.

Im not to sure about that, these are the current odds for the world cup:

England are currently 6/1

USA are currently 66/1.

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other England isn't going to win it. You may as well have our line

we can beat anybody in the tournament and that's not like Henry Bruseles could beat Floyd Mayweather, we really could, and I mean better teams than England, but its just we can't do it consistently enough to get anywhere serious. I'd take getting to the knockout stages.

I didnt say we are going to win it , my point was you said you have as much chance as England to win it. Which is obviously not the case as these odds suggest.


Scrap we comfortably beat them 2-0 about a year ago, but friendlys i dont count im not sure if we have ever played them in a competitve game?

I must admit after 35 years of living I no longer get excited about our chances in the world Cup.

England's world cups are as predictable as Fedorer winning Wimbledon, we will go out in either the quarters or semi's in a penalty shootout or else a controversial last minute goal from our opponents.

The only real debate is which players will miss the critical penalties this time around. I'll go with John Terry and Lampard.

When have we ever slaughtered USA at soccer, cant remember ??.

[OumaFan]

no, I know, wasn't worried about qualifying, should have said it hurts our chances of getting out of group play.
