Re: USA vs England I'm serious though. How good are these teams. Is this the Wizards vs Clippers or Mavs vs PHX?
Re: USA vs England I'm going to try and be as unbiased as possible. England (on paper) are a better team. The only place I'd say the States have the advantage are with their goalkeepers. England's defenders are some of the best in the world. The only thing that England lack are drive and teamwork. That is where the United States could grab a win. If the US come out with top ethic and work rate, they have a great chance of getting a result. A draw would be a good result for the US and a bad one for England. I'm rooting for a 2-1 win in England's favor but what else would you expect from me?
Re: USA vs England I can't wait to see what "KIT" we are gonna wear on the "PITCH" during this "MATCH". I've been waiting to use those terms for months..........
Re: USA vs England LOL, epic. I'd say the U.S. is #2 in our group, right after England. I'm hoping for a tie, which would probably give us a chance to win our group (unlikely), but definitely put us in great position to advance. The U.S. team just keeps getting better. They looked pretty good that last tournament where they made the finals and were up like 2 or 3 goals on Brazil at half time (and lost). Love the world cup. Definitely top 5 sporting event for me. In no specific order... CFB bowls (BCS), March Madness, NFL Playoffs, NBA playoffs, World Cup. World Cup would be no lower than 4th in that list for me, maybe even as high as 2nd after the CFB bowls.
Re: USA vs England Argentina and Nigeria are on ESPN right now... and there is an annoying noise coming from the crowd. Sounds like a swarm of bees. I sure as hell hope I dont have to listen to that during the USA game... if I watch. Nice day outsides today, might do some yard work instead.
Re: USA vs England This explains the noisemakers! My boy is in S. Africa working, pretty interesting stuff! World Cup NOISE! The sound I'm yakkin 'bout is the Vuvuzelas! Those pesky plastic noisemakers you will undoubtedly hear as you watch the World Cup games. At first, it's obnoxious and distracting, then you get accustomed to it and forget about it. Then you read some wacked random blog and learn it's relevence within the culture. Its name in Zulu roughly translates to "making a lot of noise". It's a celebration, a reason to create music. A way for the common people to come together and create something larger. When thousands of the horns are blown in a stadium, they create a buzzing din, described as similar to the wail of foghorns, the trumpeting of a herd of elephants, or perhaps the traffic jam from hell. "It's the culture of the country," South African national team coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said. "We will not change it. We will stress it. We want it louder and louder and louder."
