    It really isn't, it's been part of the game for a long time. Most countries in soccer do it. Like I've said before, people just hate Italy because they're the most successful Euro team that happens to flop.

    Whatever, call it what you want, I don't really give a ****, we're out of the tournament.

    Go Argentina/Germany/Clint Dempsey? ;) Kidding go US!

    Thanks for that. If you want to listen to Andres Cantor... tune in to 850 AM for the marquee matchup of the game. It's Futbol De Primera. I listen to the games on the radio on the way in to work. Listening to these guys narrate the action on the match is like you're there. Marcelo Balboa, Bora Milutinovic, and other USA well-knowns are in there helping out with the analysis. They also do a show at 5 or 6 p.m., I forget, which is just as good. I know you'll understand what they say. :eek:

    So what exactly IS your cup of tea, if I may ask? Italy has a well-deserved reputation of flopping, whining, and being downright disrespectful to their opposition.....and let's not even get INTO the barbaric antics that took place in Serie A. If that's something that you find appealing in a national team, then yes, you're right.....the US team is not for you.

    And trust me, I don't hate the Italian team or the French team because they're successful.....I just find the theatrics to be unbearable to watch. Now if someone could eliminate the Portuguese team, we can have a REAL World Cup.

    I'm sure this one has already been posted somewhere in this thread.

    But it is the best reaction video to Landon's GOAL I've seen so far.

    I have a feeling Keisuke Honda will be playing in the EPL very soon.

    Pretty good video, but... with the people on FACEBOOK and on Twitters and YouTube and all the other social network stuff... texting... etc., now more people can join in the celebration. :grin: You are all acting like you've already won the cup... just enjoy the moment...

    I don't think it's THAT historic. USA was into soccer before... it's just more widely known now... and the team is a lot better this time around. :eek: You have more potential now. It will be even better for USA to win it all... just wait for it.
