I wouldn't say that the USA are that good technically but they do work hard, Scotland are just dire though.

United States 5 - 1 Scotland
United States 1 - 4 Brazil
Canada 0 - 0 United States
United States 3 - 1 Antigua and Barbuda
Guatemala 1 - 1 United States

I'm pretty confident that we would beat them most of the time.
 
They surely will one day soon be world powers. But they are dire at the moment. I think they gt a fifa rankings due to continually thrashing all the small Caribbean teams around them.
 
Yes to all your questions....

Scotland are rubbish at the moment, in fact have been for a good few years.
Wont get anywhere with Levein in charge.

Time to hire WGS !!
 
So it's conceivable, especially with managers like Jurgen Klinsmann in charge, that USA could possibly win or come close to winning a world cup one day in the future. What a horrible thought. The land of basketball, american football and baseball mastering OUR national game. How very dare they :p
 
Haha, Tim Howard, "top 5 world keeper."

They're hardly dire. A decent team, if not fantastic.

I doubt they're anywhere near close to winning a World Cup. Beating England is hardly the sign of that. ;)
 
It's interesting living over here as a football (sorry "soccer") fan. Soccer is just not going to compete with the American sports any time soon. Over here, soccer is a kids game only. Everywhere you go you see kids playing proper organized games - even more than in England. It looks like a soccer obsessed country.....until you realize that 99% of those kids will never kick another ball once they've left high school.

The other thing that absolutely kills soccer here is the TV networks. They're very reluctant to show a game that flows for 45 mins at a time with no breaks. No breaks means no commercials. I just don't know how on earth US advertisers would cope with this concept if soccer ever became mainstream. I would imagine they're very happy that they don't have this problem, and seeing as they call the shots.....it isn't going to change. Remember all those stories before the World Cup 1994 in the US about them wanting timeouts in the games so they could run commercials? I bet it wasn't too far from the truth...
 
Some of the American feeds I've seen they have advertisements shown in the corner near where the score is and every 5mins or so the commentator blurts out "Visit Big Dicks garage for all of your car needs" or something cheesy like that. :p

I'd hate to watch sports in America, usually when NFL is on over here they cut to the studio whenever the US feed goes to commercial and you spend a LOT of time listening to the guys in the studio, it's actually more interesting that watching the sport most of the time imo.

Yeah, a load of people at my school watch the Super Bowl when it's on. Don't see the appeal really, staying up till the early hours of the morning for about 60 minutes of the actual American Football and double that of watching people talk or adverts. Even if I liked the sport I'd be hard pressed to watch it.
