Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Because the US are really, really s***, and we've always been like this. Always. We get past these teams comfortably then lose to Portugal/Brazil. Hyperbole much. When have you not been shit? And being less shit now than you were 10/20 years ago doesn't count.

oldtype Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Something like this apparently: Howard Cherundolo, DeMerit, Onyewu, Bocanegra Donovan, Clark, Bradley, Dempsey Findley, Altidore Americans feel free to correct me. http://www.zonalmarking.net/2010/06/08/usa-world-cup-2010-tactics/ Can't remember who posted it first, but that is such a good site. I posted it a couple of days ago It is a cracking site. Hadn't seen the US had been put up yet like, cheers. Just spent an hour there. Great site. Wish they could be bothered to write a more coherent review of South Korea, but oh well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I'm not sure why people are so down about England's chances. Is it because they don't play attractive football? They're basically set up like a good Italian side, and have one of the great managers of his time leading them. They'll be hard beaten, quite frankly.

In 2002, we were a better team and should have been in the semis but for bizarre reffing interveneing for Germany. The US are not a great team, but they aren't a poor one either. SEMTEX's whole post was exagerration for both the US and England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Scrape past US 1-0 or 2-1. Hammer Algeria 3-0. Comfortably beat Slovenia 2-0. Lose to Germany. Textbook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Knowing our luck yeah, Germany will finish 2nd, and the vital moment will come 6 minutes from time as Klose falls over in the 6 yard box, 2 yards offside, and fumbles it in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're basically set up like a good Italian side, and have one of the great managers of his time leading them. They'll be hard beaten, quite frankly. It's more the lack of ability to play possession football, we don't have to play attacking football, but we will struggle to keep the ball against the likes of Argentina, Brazil, Spain or Holland.

Mr. Snrub Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 You'll struggle to get the ball against those teams, let alone keep it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 You'll struggle to get the ball against those teams, let alone keep it. I totally agree, someone like Spain could deliver a master-class against us, that game in the Bernabeu a few years back being a prime example.
