If we add up the English payroll of their starting 11 -- it's probably $150mil a year. If we add up the U.S. payroll of our starting 11--it's probably $6million for the year for the entire squad.

That's the gulf between them and us. It's like the New York Yankees versus Kansas City Royals.

Dempsey and Landycakes combined probably make half of what Stephen Gerrard makes in a year. Just in salary, forget about endorsements.

The salaries of the players on Brazil's team probably are even more than $150 mil. Kaka and Ronaldhino probably make $20mil (U.S.) a year. :dunno:

fridays' games were a bit pish. today's were better. glad France didn't get the three points, as Tierry Henry is a cheating cunt.

I was impressed by Oguchi Onyewu but the entire USA fought of their lives.

England sucks, always did, always will, and even a genius like Capello can't save them from themselves.

England can be happy with the draw. Imagine the match had ended in a penalty shootout.

it would had been epic!

Yeah, for the Americans.

Algeria 0-1 Solenija
Ghezzal was red-carded about 20 minutes before the final whistle. 7 minutes later Slovenija scored with a terrible mistake by the algerian keeper

During the U.S.'s run at the Confederations Cup last year a lot of you homos were downplaying the U.S.'s results then. Maybe change your thinking now? :dunno:

Nope, they were shit, they are shit, they will continue to be shit.
& homos?!?

Haha. Your jealousy is showing. :thefinger It's understandable; just like the Canadians (who invented Hockey) you self-righteous Brit' pricks (who invented SOCCER ) are eventually gonna be playing second fiddle to us. :rofl:

In due time...:rofl:

(I say all this in all fun, so...)

BTW, the Ghana-Serbia game was pretty good. I didn't like that hand call at the end for the PK, but what can you do. They had their chances.

germany vs australia in half an hour... 4-0? 5-0? time to get a beer.

Damn, are the Aussies that bad? I can't watch that game (at the lib' now). I thought they had more to offer.

 

[Namreg]

no, they're pretty bad. germany does have a lot of injuries though, and the team is very young (average 25 years old). realistically, i'd say we win 2-0.

They're 20.

BTW, Jurgen Klinsmann just said on ABC that Tim Howard is one of the top 5 goalies in the world. :bowdown:

 

[Namreg]

they rank germany ahead of argentina... hmm.

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

they rank germany ahead of argentina... hmm.

Yeah, and you Krauts are very young.

 

[CurtJa]

Argentina isn't actually that phenomenal this year. They aren't all that deep, and their defense is going to be a major sore spot against decent teams. I think they make it to the round of 8 tops, IF they have no injuries.

 

[Namreg]

1-0 germany, 8 minutes in!

 

[Vanilla Bear]

We look good so far! Didn't really expect THAT!

And yes finally Klose scores again!

 

[Namreg]

same here... quite surprised by teh combinations, the precise passes... this should end 4-0 or better.

 

[Supafly]

It is 2:0 now, close to the next one

Yay!!!
