USA vs The Netherlands.
..The Game.
USA vs The Netherlands.
We scored! We scored! The USA actually scored a goal!
Actually, the guy that scored for USA cannot explain what he did nor what happened. It was pure by accident.
Now it's Netherlands vs. Argentina and Lionel Messi has an appointment with
history.
Doesn't matter. We scored. Whether by the Hand of God, or by other
means, doesn't really matter. We scored. And that's all that counts.
Lionel Messi is no Diego Maradonna.
Unless he too finds the Hand of God ...

You lost, even if the end-score is an 8-7, it's still a loss.
I wouldn't have known "we" lost if I hadn't seen it here. That's
because I, and 99.7% of the other USA citizens, don't give a rat's ass about it, or even about soccer in general.
It's hockey season.
Nobody cares about soccer in Canada either. Its baseball, football or hockey.
The Game.
USA vs The Netherlands.
When the sun rises in America,
and the sun sets in Qatar, it will
be time to Rock & Roll, as The Game
gets underway.
Assuming enough Dutch recover from
the flu and are able to play.
The Game.
USA vs The Netherlands.
If not for Lee, no-one would know ... that is because no-one cae

Hmmmm ... then why all the fuss, and expense, of sending a team to Qatar?
Plus why the willingness to co-organize the next world championships with t USA? (and Mexico)

Nobody cares about soccer in Canada either. Its baseball,

Toronto is a dystopian authoritarian city where the beloved Maple
Leafs completely suck the sweat off an elderly Dutchman's balls.
But you MUST worship that stupid team "or else". And whenever the
leafs lose, theres always an excuse, always a story, always
better luck next time. As they continue to be paid millions with
an incompetent manager.
Its serious blasphemy here to cheer for a hockey team that
actually wins...

So why is the USA organizing the next World Championships then?

Americans only like sports which are extremely boring such as
baseball, or where the object is to kill someone such as leather
egg throwing or ice hockey ...
Canada's better at ice hockey ...
So why is the USA organizing the next World Championships then?
I don't know. Maybe it's just "our turn".
Well, that's not completely true of course, and one could argue that the king of boring is..... soccer. I mean, seriously. The actual *goals*
are semi-exciting, but the interminable minutes (hours?) between goals
are the very definition of boring.
Canada's better at ice hockey ...
Here you are CLEARLY mistaken. It's been 29 *YEARS* since a Canadian
team won the Stanley Cup.

It's a very very very expensive venture, I can't imagine a
country making money out of it. Just prestige.
To get awarded the organization is a very tedious project,
corruption, kickbacks...someone must be providing the money. So
there must be some gain..
For the record, the world championship football is a bigger event
than the olympics...

It's in the way how one views the game. For example the USA's
opening game in the current world championships against Wales
ended in a 1-1 but was a good game of tactics and moves. Even the
0-0 against England was a good game.
A football player runs between 11 and 15 km during a game, an
NFL-player's performance is measured in yards, then he needs a
break, a rest and a drink of water. That's the difference between
a sport and a game.
But through the years I started to appreciate the game and
tactics, in the mid-19704s I saw O.J.Simpson play and that was something...

The Stanley-what?
Meaning to say, at the world level of sports it is so
unimportant...

Dr. Henry Kissinger is a German Jew. Served as Secretary of State
and National Security Director under President Richard Nixon. However, unlike Nixon, Dr. Kissinger is not a crook.
The USA had the youngest team, and did extremely well given the competition. Will be a real contender in 2026.
Several teams in the NFL have had kickers who kicked the round ball
long before the oval one ...
But through the years I started to appreciate the game and tactics, LL>WD> in the mid-19704s I saw O.J.Simpson play and that was something...
Sylvester Stallone played the game. But only on camera.
Just like the USA will actually win the World Cup.
It may be unimportant to YOU, just as international soccer is
unimportant to me (and almost ALL other Americans). I can assure you, however, that the skills in the NHL exceed those of ANY other hockey
league in the world (and there are plenty in Euro-commie-land). That
also includes Olympic hockey competition.
A large number of players in
the NHL are from countries other than USA and Canada.

Belgium is the reigning Olympic hockey champion.

So you're saying that the one major ice-hockey competition
resulting in the Stanley Cup is mainly played by non-Americans
and non-Canadians? 8-)
Belgium is the reigning Olympic hockey champion.
Not true. It's Finland.

Yeah right. You know damn well we were talking about ice hockey, and do stuff like this just to be a douchebag.
Fuck off. You become more and more like Beeeorn with every post you
make.

Neither was Nixon, he said so himself.

The USA has no football culture, there is no national competition of any significance. Only a bunch of has-beens and 2nd rate Brazilians. A national
team is something that needs to be nurtured and grown, not something you put together when an event comes up.
Several teams in the NFL have had kickers who kicked the round ball
long before the oval one ...
"oval" and "ball" are mutually exclusive.

Sylvester Stallone played the game. But only on camera.
He also played football ... but also on camera in the film "Escape to Victory".
Pele, Bobby Moore, Osvaldo Ardiles, Paul Van Himst, Co Prins, Kazimierz Deyna, Hallvar Thoresen, Mike Summerbee, Russell Osman, John Wark, Soren Lindsted and Kevin O'Callaghan made it look like real football. Stallone was a joke.
Just like the USA will actually win the World Cup.
Just like several US riders won the Tour the France only to be stripped from
all their victories because of cheating.
Then why did Ford grant him a pardon? And why did Nixon accept it?
The USA earned its way to the World Cup.
Italy flunked out. For the third straight time.
That should tell you something.
The USA made it to the knockout round.
Belgium never got there.
That should also tell you something.
Brazilians are crying today.
So are the Dutch.
