    Wow. Mexico looked decades ahead of us today. Good call on that.

    USA lost against Ghana.

    Mexico Loses against Argentina.

    Mexico has Dos Santos and Chicharito.

    USA have Bradley and Altidore.

    Looks like a long wait for you.

    Thanks for that, AroundTheWorld, sir. :cool: I understand your angle.

    And, no, I didn't come in here to bash the USA for losing a tough Ghana game, as you all saw. Even when the USA was down, I wasn't expecting them to stay like that. I know what the USA's style of game is, and it's expected of them to play the same way. I knew they weren't totally out.

    Yes. They should. :eek: HUMANS are referees. What are they going to do when their equipment fails?

    We didn't lose because of one bad call. We lost because we made silly mistakes on defense and allowed Argentina to play their own game. No counterattacks, just pure football and skilled players much more talented than MEXICO's players. It was a good win for the Albiceleste. I wished and hoped Chicharito would have started games before, but it's not within my control.

    We lost a tough game, but we were behind because an invalid goal was scored. There were still 70 minutes of football. WE DIDN'T COME THROUGH.

    :eek:

    DaDakota, what was the final outcome for our bet?

    Just admit that you were wrong. We finished first in our group in qualifiers btw. Mexico was second.

    You can say they're the better team but hardly "decades" ahead of us.

    I think the Netherlands vs Slovakia ref will beat the ref in the Brazil vs Chile game.

    I just sense there will be more referee/linesman ownage in the first game.

    Which ref are you rooting for?

    USA wins the tiebreaker over mexico because they win their group.

    But in the end, they both lose.

    I'm so bored that i'm trying to figure out the stadium issue in 2018/2022. I already picked out 12 stadiums, and am i going to write the schedule down. :rolleyes:


    I guess I can ride the coattails of the Orange people.

    Still decades Bro. Stop getting served by Ghana and call me back.

    Kids don't want to play soccer for the US. Ask

    Italy's a 4 time world cup champion and despite this years embarrassing departure, a soccer super power. Not to mention he was the last one cut off the squad nearly making it.

    I wouldn't use him as a example for your argument.

    Perfect example where US football is. Until People here begin to repect the US program and the MLS kids won't want to develop into football players.

    How about this argument...

    Mexico will be BETTER in the next WC. Most of their stars are young.

    Who will be a star for the US in 2014? Who's the young up and comer?

    I don't blame team USA. I blame the American culture.

    You seem like you were born and raised here. I moved here when I was 7.

    Silly bandwagon fan.

    Maybe, I do. You were born in Spain?

    Edit: I know you're a Spain fan...not one of Mexico.

    I meant that you choose not to root for USA simply bc we aren't real contenders to win the WC.
