    didn't want to post this in the soccer thread because i guess some people are really into it BUT can someone tell me why everyone is saying they are 'proud' of the US team? they won 1 out of 4 games. everyone gets a trophy generation i guess [-(

    It's relative to the sport. It takes a lot to get to the world cup let alone advance from your group. It's also a USA thing not a typical sports fan thing where there's a title every year.

    So basically you are too much of a bitch to talk shit to directly to people? You have to hide in the Phillies thread?

    Because they played their balls off against the best competition in the world and in case you haven't noticed, we are not exactly a soccer powerhouse. They had a better record in 2010 but played against much worse competition. All 4 teams they played this year are better than the best team they played in 2010. Because they lost their best goal scorer 15 minutes into the tournament and still made it out of the hardest group in the tournament. Because they were down 2-0 against a team with 15 Champions League players (we have 3) and fought like hell to tie the game, but came up short. Because they dominated Portugal. Because some of us played in ODP and have seen soccer come so far in this country that we are getting close to matching up with the best teams on the planet. You don't pick up a soccer ball and become a world power overnight.

    Now kindly, go fuck yourself.

    Cliffy this is exactly why i didn't post this in the World Cup thread. I know a lot of people care deeply about the World Cup and I wasn't about to piss on them for it just because I am only mildy interested. Good for everyone who is into it and for having such passion. I was just questionning why winning 1 out of 4 games is something to be proud of. i guess in soccer and with today's generation of everyone get a trophy it is. toast them with a fruity beer for winning 1 out of 4 - whoo hooo

    One of the dumbest and most ignorant things I've ever read on this board. And that's saying something.

    Is it ironic that the guy who is basically calling people pussies does so in a completely irrelevant thread where the people he is referring to likely won't see?

    What is ODP?
    Olympic Developmental Program. Basically the very early stages of the National Team pool. Every state has a program and there are regional teams as well. I played New York State West.

    Impressive. I had to mark the other teams best player in high school and that's where my soccer career ended.

    ha. yeah. I played division 2 college on scholarship. We weren't very good but we were in the best conference in the country. Southern New Hampshire and Southern Conn are almost always in the National Championship picture. SNH won this past year. Division 2 also doesn't have age restrictions like D1, so the good D2 east coast programs get a lot of Europeans who didn't make it pro in Europe come over in their early 20's.

    Exactly. The guy obviously doesn't understand why it's a pretty big deal and you broke it down for him, yet he continues to talk about participation trophies.

    FIFA rankings mean almost nothing. What is your point on being #13? Good or bad?
