Sports - 23 June 2006

The United States has three national sports (four including ice hockey). Soccer is not one of them. Explain how the US manages these diverse interests and is still able to compete with other countries where soccer is the only national sport? Countries devote their whole lives to soccer, and not only have they never won a World Cup, but they find it difficult to make it into the finals. How is it that the US consistently qualifies for the World Cup and is steadily improving? The US public does not view elimination from the group rounds as a time of national mourning. Wouldn’t the US comfortably make it to the semifinals, if they were as fanatical about soccer as other countries? America dominates other sports such as golf, boxing, tennis, swimming, cycling, and athletics (again, these are not national sports) showing that it is the greatest sporting nation in history. Give reason as to why America’s sporting prowess will easily transfer to a US team winning the World Cup in future years

First of all do you like sport and if yes, what sport do you prefer? Rugby, Soccer or anything else and why?

And really tell me what I can do, because my boss is out of town and I have absolutely nothing to do with myself. Help?!?...

UEFA has a stadium rating process of 4 and 5* rated lists. In Scotland, Ibrox Stadium and Hampden Park are both 5* rated. Celtic Park does not appear on either list. Can someone clarify their rating?

I think so, I think Ovechkin was too selfish, Crosby was a more integral part of his team. He had way more assists.

Last night, I was watching the game which Roger Clemens pitched.
Question-How is he the losing pitcher from that game? He left the game after 5th inning down 2 runs. The 3rd run in sixth inning was given up by another pitcher.
If the Astros eventually lost the game 4-2, why is the lost pin on him?

I mean, I have no coaching experience but I do watch sportscentre. I'd also take considerably less than Larry Brown's $10 million a year, maybe like 3 or 4. Also, I'd probably do a better job than Isiah could anyways.
