USA should stay their nose out of Football. This is probably the only sports that has kept its dignity but its dignity is now threatened if US keeps qualifying in the World Cups. It is making mockery of Football when the Americans run on the field with a football. Its like bunch of sissies running for the beauty pageant.It casts a shadow over the joyful spirits of watching a football game when the Americans are playing it. It is also pretty awkard when you hear Americans commenting on Football. I do not know how to react when they talk about Football. It sucked to listen to the commentry on Espn by some American comentators.They don't even call football by its proper name which they call "Soccer." What the heck is that? Any thoughts ?

There was an amazing article on the wall street journal that bashed ESPN and ABC coverage of the world cup. People thought I was nuts to watch the whole tournament on Univision (Spanish) even though I don't speak the language.Reading it made me feel more normal I thought "i am not alone!!!!"
When it comes to the US soccer team they still think that the object of the game is to push the ball forward no matter what. There was not one player better than another,they all suck. The coach is plain awful and should be stoned with those idiot commentators

You are worried about the Amercians making fut-ball look like a sissy sport? Hahahahahahaha.
We call is soccer because that is what you what to do after some chick thinks it makes her "hip" by watching Eurotrash run around on a field for an hour and accomplishing exactly ZIP!
The American fut-ball team plays poorly because those are all accountants and McDonald's Manager out there doing it in their spare time. The REAL athletes are out earning large paychecks playing real ENTERTAINING sports that people with cash are willing to pay to watch.
