So with us getting out of the group, does this end the whole Donovan thing?

 

:yao:

 

No. Would've won this group with Donovan. Wearing my US Donovan shirt for the rest of the WC now in silent sympathy for Mr. US Soccer. :huff:

Also, why no Mix instead of Bedoya? Fuck off with that sub.

 

:lol: If Big Jo can't go against Belgium, I'd consider replacing Beckerman with Bradley and putting Mix in Bradley's spot.

I'm all for Americans getting into soccer. However the fact few people here know much about the sport, but Americans ABSOLUTELY MUST have an opinion on every thing, is fucking killing me.

 

Yedlin comes on, gets forward, mishits his cross from the right, ball goes high and out for a goal kick. Dude in the bar shouts, "you suck! Why is he even shooting from there?"

 

Every time the ref blows for something against the U.S.A., no matter how blatantly right he was, it's a "complete bullshit call."

 

The only player on the field they've heard of is Dempsey, so all talk during slow periods is of getting the ball to him.

 

These people are killing me. Deuce, Mike, etc get your house in order.

:lol: it's shameful. Especially since most of these types won't watch any soccer after the World Cup finishes.

 

I'm returning to the States in a few days, think I'll try to catch the game in the local AO chapter pub. Hopefully won't be as bad as that, but I'm already dreading the chants.

Went to a bar and watched it downtown. Even better that a hotel broker friend of mine, his company was hosting a watch party, free beer and food.

 

Cool text bro!! :lol:

 

Had to RSVP man, :lol:, it was an invite only type of thing at the bar - so I couldn't get invites for anyone else. Sorry man.

I'm pretty much done with foreigners expressing critical opinions about American soccer. Fuck off. I mean I can appreciate Luca's point about loud-mouthed bro imbeciles spouting off about things they know jack shit about--that would grate on anybody. But people going on about shit chants, unauthentic American fans, and Americans being unable to understand soccer can fuck off.

You know what I'm done with? Everyone talking about "flopping". If there is one thing that riles me more than the stupid playacting, it's the relentless complaining about the stupid playacting.

I'm pretty much done with foreigners expressing critical opinions about American soccer. f*** off. I mean I can appreciate Luca's point about loud-mouthed bro imbeciles spouting off about things they know jack s*** about--that would grate on anybody. But people going on about s*** chants, unauthentic American fans, and Americans being unable to understand soccer can f*** off. 

 

Rattled.

 

Indeed. I've let them get inside my head. :lol:

 

To be fair the posters on here just contribute to that negative stereotype though. Certainly I should think for most English posters you are the only representation of American Soccer Fans they have encountered.

Honestly, most of the fair-weather fans here at work are more knowledgeable about the sport than Mike is. I think NO's Americans would be accepted with open arms if you just distanced yourself from Mike a little.

It's World Cup time, there are millions of World Cup only fans all over the world. People just mad their country didn't get through - just blame The Biter and Bryan Ruiz - leave us Americans alone.

 

I'll take ALL fair-weather USA fans if it means I get to see my city of Orlando get transformed into a raucous, drunken, celebration and ALL TVs on World Cup / USA matches; its my favorite sport and I could care less about the dude-bro who yells at Yedlin for the "shot" that was clearly an over-hit cross.  It's just some drunk guy who doesn't know a single thing about the sport, not as embarrassing as a guy who slags off Ben Arfa for "losing the ball" who's watched and followed the sport for his entire life and claims to be a genius.
