USA owned Brazil today

Baba ma masalam ye joke goftim. My point is that that the U.S is not as good on the National Team level as the junior level because they no longer have the physical edge on the National Team level.

lol I thought you were serious. I still get what you are saying but the USA has improved since WC 98, where as we have stayed the same. Just look at their record

USA
WC98-Knockout stages
WC2002-final 8
WC2006 Knockout stages(it should be noted they were in a tough group)

Iran
WC98-Knockout stages
Wc2002-Did not qualify(EFF YOU grass rolling cheaters BAHRAIN!)
WC2006-Knockout stages.

You can certainly come up to the conclusion that we did not improve. We need to do something about this to improve our record.

I get what you are saying though USA usually has GREAT youth teams but that doesn't necessarily translate to great national teams.futbol>>>IRAN pointed it out Qatar won a youth world cup and they got nothing out of it.

[futbol>>>IRAN]

youth games dont mean shit, Qatar won a youth world cup and what did they promise?.. absolutely nothing!

The key word in that sentence was WORLD CUP 98! Dude that game was 9 years ago we need to move on. Even on the National level USA improved a lot. They were able to make it to the final 8 in WC2002? Did we ever make it past the first round of the WC?

Exactly the thing is America's best athletes would either go for NBA, NFL, or baseball because there is a lot more money to be made in those sports. In USA it's either the foreign kids who play soccer, or the American kids who are not good at football, basketball, or baseball. If you make it to the MLS you are going to probalby get a $40,000 contract. If you make it on an NFL roster and just make the league minimum, you are going to make $400,000. Baseball is the best you get something like a million just for making it on a roster. Basketball also pays very well so that's why you don't see too many stud American athletes play soccer.

Americans don't think, "If I play good I can play soccer in Europe and make a lot of money." Why should they kill themselves to make it to a European club when they could make it on an NBA, NFL, or MLB roster?

good point. A great example from where I live (Canada) is Steve Nash.

The guy was an incredible soccer player and could have easily made it to Europe, but someone saw his talent as a point guard and look at him now, 2 time MVP in 2 years.

the best athletes of usa are going to end up playing nba or nfl. and even if all these u17 do make it as seniors, theyll still get owned by brazil

they simple dont have the skill in their genes like iranians and brazilians.

i dont know man, they were pretty skillful in this game...
times are changing and US has a lot of foreigners and mixed kids so their genes could be brazilian or iranian

I called that number but a lady answered and said she didn't know any one of the 2. Are you sure that number is correct?

source? i asked my mom, but she said she hasn't heard from you lately.

[Sherwin]

The reason for this is that the U.S teams main emphasis for their national team and their youth teams is strenght and conditioning building. The U.S youth teams are always the most fit, thats why they do so good. But by the time that these players are old enough to play for the national team, the playing field evens out and they end up losing to Iran in WC 98. lol

[KC McElroy]

why would you argue with someone who bashes Brazil? what is there to argue about, Brazil have the best talent in the world and so does Italy, you 2 just hate each other.


to EKBATAN: Congratulations USA won afriendly match against U17 Brazil, so I guess we should call Ronaldinho and Kaka and tell them their country is "going down" in soccer? looool

What is their phone number?

[EKBATAN]

did they own them like usa actual national team owned the italian national team in the world cup?

and LOL at brazil is going down. when have brazil ever went down? brazil will never go down in this sport. they dominate it. as for the usa going up... with all the money they put in the sport they should go up.

no one owned italy in the WC, cuz no one was able to score on them
and they won the world cup
