    I just meant that as the competition is getting closer, englands chances are becoming slim, thats how i feel anyway!! if only they can just get a brilliant result against usa to raise confidence, something like a 3 or 4-0 would be great for morale
    defoe had a good season. what happened to agbohnlahor??

    England and Netherlands will choke as is usual of them. Germany, Argentina are way too old specially in the back four. Italy (my team) has a slim chance on Lippi alone. Spain should win it if they don't choke like they usually do. Offcourse one of those teams along with Brazil (which I know nothing of) will end up winning it as always.

    Incase you havn't noticed...... the majority of americans could give a shit less about how good we are at the "biggest sport in the world" - all we care about is who wins the superbowl..... who wins the world series..... and how much propane is left in our tanks for the parties we have for both games.....

    I think American's think it sucks mostly because we have no American players to get behind. and even MLS is very young as far as sports go.

    on a bad day Man-u could still run the tables on MLS teams. and since American's in general are fair weather fans. I think its hard for them to cheer for teams they might never ever see.

    though yes 93.2 million americans, 151 million world wide did watch the 2009 Super bowl that is nearly double the ten super bowls before it. So it is kind of rare..

    the 2006 world cup avg 95 million viewers per match through the month long tournment. So by fair the world cup makes the super bowl look like an episode of crips on MTV..

    The most popular regular-broadcast sports event and TV program is the English Premier League. It is broadcast to 600 million households in 202 countries and watched by more than 1.2 billion people per week. . .


    007 can speak with me.. no NFL game can compete with watching Man-u play. (though I hate they lost Tevez and Ronaldo) . . Just because we as American's suck at the sport, we shouldn't act as if the sport itself sucks.
