 |

ROTFLMAO- Got this off a sports blog I read from a guy who says it was said on air by some American sports announcer. Must have been Jim Rome.

Fact is, the world should be thanking the stars that the USA is not, in any way, interested in this sport.
If it were, and our kids longed to be international soccer superstars, and we spent the time and money that we put into say, baseball, then we would simply dominate.
But its good we give the rest of the world this little cookie every four years, it makes them feel good about themselves. |

| Ah yes, money can solve anything. It can probably even wash away that ugly mushroom-stamp the Czech Republic gave the US team. |

The sooner the USA get turfed from the World Cup, the sooner fukwits like the one quoted above can get back to watching fat blokes standing around scratching themselves and leave the World Cup to the big boys and people who care. As much as Americans will rabbit on and on about how much they don't care about the beautiful game, the rest of the world is tired of hearing some tw@t rabbit on and on about how much they don't care about the beautiful game.

| Sports blogs are uncredible. Show me the news source of this then I'll believe it. I don't think (at least I hope so) that a player from the US team is arrogant enough to say something so slandering; knowing the whole world will read or hear it. |

Please re-read the OP. I never said it was a US player who allegedly said this. I guess we look at things differently-you call it slander and I thought it was funny on a couple of different levels. |

| Yes, the kind of fare in the OP is just sad, bitter blather. Why so upset and jingoistic? England certainly doesn't need a WC to feel good about itself. It has an all-pervading history and culture to be proud of. The same can be said for many WC-competing nations. Why the inferiority complex? We've got history, thousands of years of it, culture, and you've got Bush and his cronies, Vietnam, the corporations, the French fry, rednecks and Achy Breaky Heart. Congratulations. |

 I'm not. I am want to know the source out of curiosity. I want to see if it's a yo yo money dawg saying it or if it's some white collar stuck up. That's all. |

Ooh, ooh! Can I be the first American in this post to make obligatory comments about our economic, technological, and military superiority? Oooh, ooh...don't forget cultural diversity, the great bonus of having two oceanic protective barriers, no immediate threats from our neighbors, etc.?
Ooh, ooh...can I make the first comment about how even after thousands of years of proud history, the UK is nothing but a yesman/lapdog hybrid for the US?
Cool. I've always wanted to do that. Not that I really felt like tooting on about that stuff, but I really wanted to be the first to do that in a thread. |

Now that we've got that out of the way, all residents of a country who are currently planning on building a giant fence along one border, please raise your hand. |

Joe Gaetjens� goal lifts the USA over England 1-0 at the World Cup in Brazil. It was called the biggest upset ever in international soccer. |

I've actually had Brits tell me that it never happened.
All I know is that when it's US vs Italia, I'll be that Yank yelling "Forza Azzuri"; I lived in Rome from the age of 4 till 11 with a soccer ball glued to my foot. |

So typical of a Canuck trying to hide his or her inferiority complex. |
