The status of American football (soccer)

What's Jose Pekerman doing these days? IMHO, he'd be an excellent choice for US coach.

are you forgetting the highly successful NPSL (1967) and the NASL (1968-1984) or just showing us you don't know what you are talking about?

Seriously it reminded me of those football games from the 70s that used magnets and made horrible noises. Sadly the board game players moved faster. i say this because I honestly believe we can play better.

On another note Seattle and Portland have been admitted into the MLS woo hoo! I also got my Timber Army invite for Bayern München U21 vs Portland Timbers a few months ago. I really wish I could attend but ...

OG's sacrcasm aside he is correct. Pele didnt go to New Yok just to watch the Knicks.

HA! Best thing I've read in ages. I remember those pieces of crap. They were awesome.

Most of the old gang in Seattle have Sounders season tickets. They're pumped to see Barca on the summer tour.

The Sounders is one of the best things to have happened to MLS in many many years.

I honestly feel Portland will have the better team in the end.

Pacific Northwest will become the force in Football in the US

3-0 US. Bradley's a genius! I can't believe people are calling for his head!

Edit: So if I've got this right, the US is through over Italy on goals scored, and plays Spain Wednesday night.

Landon Donovan to me personifies what's wrong with US soccer. He's a first-rate wuss.. Too scared to go play in Europe, cuz he wants to help "develop US soccer".. Puke.. And what's he done for us? Zilch.. Prima-donna wuss is all he is.. The American league has taken a style over substance approach, and it's accomplishing jack.. C ya Beckham...

The US totally sucks. In 94 in the US they were hungry, and also in Korea/Japan.. Hungry's not enough though.

I agree: they need a European coach.

Yes, the U.S. is through on goals scored, having had the same goal differential as Italy. Amazingly, only the 3-0 margins in both games last night could have produced that result. Hard to say whether this is a turning point or just the one step forward that’s always accompanied by two steps back, but at least we get to watch one more game.

No better statement can be made than that. One more game to see our boys is always nice, I guess I got Texas Ranger Syndrome*.

*No matter how dumb, naive, let down the Rangers are they are still our Texas Rangers.

You mean the club that is the only active MLB franchise to have never won a playoff series since the franchise's inception in 1961?

As an Astros fan I really don't have much room to talk.

You know you wouldnt be a bad guy if you just wouldnt support the Texans so much. Let me give you a proper clubs for a native Texan

1) Texas Longhorns (no exceptions)
2) Dallas Cowboys (no exceptions)
3) Texas Rangers ( although they do use the D.H. which I wish was ended)

All those other teams ie.. Mavricks, Rockets, Spurs, Stars should be banned. But I digress...
