N Ireland 1 - 0 England

[Illuminattile]

The US have shut out there opponents in the last 5 games. Best defense and goalkeeping right now. We wont win it all but we will do better than England. Who everyone knows are the biggest chokers in all of soccer.

lol @ "shut out". Wow, you managed to stop the all-conquering Guatemala, the mighty Panama and the sublime Trinidad and Tobago from scoring. Three teams who have never qualified for a World Cup.

How many of the US national side play for major club teams?

The Elo ratings put The US at 11th, England at 7th, but again the fact that the US play so many easy teams gives them an advantage.

Brazil
Netherlands
France
Argentina
Czechia
Spain
England
Sweden
Italy
Portugal
Germany
United States

Czech Republic, no?

 

[Illuminattile]

Czech Republic, no?

We're supposed to call it Czechia in informal situations. But yes, it's the Czech Republic.

 

[hizzle?]

The United States are ranked ahead of England in soccer. And no one gives a shit about soccer in this country. lol

yeah the fifa system is pretty much fucked....you play teams like costa rica, while england plays teams like....northern ireland

but seriously, the fifa ranking system is stupid

 

[hizzle?]

Doubt it, but you never know.

no, theyll make it cuz Switzerland has an awfull two last matches...
besides, you have to go, i bought your new shirt for 32 POUNDS!!! YOU BETTER MAKE IT IN THE FINAL STAGE!

 

[hizzle?]

Yes, so? You think that means anything? Well, it doesn't really. USA @ place 6 = much lol lol.

Even more LMAO and ROFL @ the fact Italy's isn't in the top 10. And i'm not too sure about Holland on 3 as well.


Besides, why do you care about football? You don't seem to know anything about it anyway. USA will get whooped in Germany. Just watch. Bigger teams usually suck during qualifications.

21 Costa Rica
22 Poland
23 Korea Republic
24 Colombia
25 Uruguay
26 Egypt
27 Saudi Arabia
28 Cameroon
29 Russia
30 Nigeria

that is funnier.... Nigeria can beat USA anyday....just like Russia and Cameroon.... and where did you get that!!! that list seems like BS

i saw it... van nistelrooy was being a bitch like always .. makes a foul himself and gets a penalty for it... good thing he missed and did you saw andorra's captain laughing at him right at his face?? classic
man i loved andorra's style... they would've had more success if they played karate or something cuz all they did was kick the men of the netherlands great stuff... the dutch fell for it, classic... one of the dutch got a red card because of it and they really couldn't play good... whaha . goooooo andorra !!!

o about england - northern ireland... i dont think england is that good at all, i mean... if u see other teams england sux atm.
and ireland - france... man they can both do better... switzerland is only benefiting from this kind of play... which is a bad thing. what really suprised me was how good israel is doing in that poul... they really deserve the 2nd place better than the other teams.

It was funnier when van Nistelrooy scored and celebrated in front of the guy. Sweet sweet revenge.

Wait Tito you idiot..

Englands B/C team beat USA in the summer lol.

The Rankings are bullshit. Always have been. Only thing that is probably right is that Brazil are number 1.

England will beat Germany, England normally play better vs the bigger nations, but under estimate the little nations.

On another note every team will fail to compete with Brazil, we're all in their shadow.

24 of the WC teams are there to make up the numbers.

 

[Kevsta2004]

Yeah well done to the Irish :thumb: , I just hope england can come back after this they were sloppy as fuck.
I'm putting money on south korea winning the cup I wonder what the odds are

Wait Tito you idiot..

Our college team.

Yeah right thats why in the last 15 years they have been KO'D from germany a few times, portuogal,argentina,brazil,

Our college team.

College team?

England didn't have Paul Robinson, so we weren't playing our first choice goalkeeper.

England didn't have Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand or John Terry, meaning only one of the back four (Ashley Cole) was a first choice defender. And he didn't play 90 minutes due to injury.

England didn't have Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard or David Beckham, meaning only one of the midfield (Joe Cole) was a first choice midfielder.

England didn't have Michael Owen or Wayne Rooney, meaning neither of our strikers were first choice strikers.

So that's two Real Madrid players, three Manchester United players, two Chelsea players and a Liverpool player all missing.

Which of your World Class superstar players were missing from that game? Reyna and Beasley? Hardly compares, does it?

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah right thats why in the last 15 years they have been KO'D from germany a few times, portuogal,argentina,brazil,

Germany on shoot-outs, Argentina and Portugual on shoot outs, however we beat Germany and Argentina the last time we played them.

And we lost to the best team in the world. :thumb:

Yeah ok they play ok against the big teams! :thumb: And bottle it when it matters. :thumb:

And you did beat germany the last time you played then, but they beat you a couple of months before!

And you also beat argentina the last time you played them,knocking them out the world cup! but they beat you the time before that, knocking you out the world cup.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Yeah all before, i said last time loser.

 

[stefanwzyga]

Yeah all before, i said last time loser.

Here there is no need to be nasty! Your saying they do good against the big teams, i pointed out that they dont really! thats why they have only ever won a single trophy since time began!!

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Sorry

Yes but in recent tournaments theyve been knocked out by shoot-outs, which is a 50-50 thing.

Still 1 more than Scotland, Ireland, N.Ireland and Wales put together.

Ps i dont care how small Scotland is.

Why the size of the country is a huge factor! the amount of times we have qualify'd for world cups is exellant!

It aint guys like you or the english players fault, but the reason everyone laughs there asses of at england is cuz of the english media!! They build the team up way to much, sure they have a great squad, they dont have a great team though.

Bin sven and bring in sam allardyce.


You dont have much choice when it comes to english managers cuz most them are crap! what ya need is a scotsman!!
