I purposefully use amercian terms like team, uniform, soccer, goalie, etc to wind you guys up.

Like can happen when a good team meets an average team, the good team under estimated their opponents. In a way, you can see why Spain were more interested in talking about playing Brazil in the final rather than concentrating on the game against the US, considering a very poor Italian team had already beaten the US well, and the US had looked a shambles i ...[text shortened]... in the long run, true class will shine through and the team will finish where it belongs.

OK, I got one:
USA 2 Spain 0

You forgot...
USA 0 - Brazil 3
Italy 3 - USA 1

But, as you say all the top teams can beat each other on any given day.
USA just peaked at the right time.
And I'm not sure if you did so or not already, but give us credit for that. We just beat the #1 team in the world 2-0 in a major tournament.
We're having a debate about where the USA will be ranked when the new rankings come out on the 1st.
The consensus seems to be 10th, if we lose to Brazil.
Will spain hold onto the #1?
I think so.
Italy will probably fall and brazil will probably rise if they can avoid being the next victim to the Team of Destiny.

Originally posted by Tirau DanI would take USA in that bet.
A while back I seem to remember having a little bet with someone here that USA would be more likely to win the world cup sometime in the next few tournies than England. ooo they were upset... but I think USA though unlikely underdogs show promise.

Scotland.
We invented the bloody game.
And anyone who says we didn't is wrong and anyone who says we're not is obviously residing in a different pub than I.
I do remember that playboy Brazilian ladies team... now they would be the Best Looking team.
The opposition would just want to shorten the game to 2 minutes each way.. just long enough to have a grope with yer op number then back to the showers.
Now as for Scotland.. sorry but their team would be sold to the UAE to care for their goats.

It must be a wind up.....
Football was invented in Sheffield, South Yorkshire (and is still home to the World's two oldest football clubs - Sheffield FC and Hallam FC)
...and by the way Tirau Dan... I'm from Yorkshire and have never once uttered the phrase "Eee By Gum"....
