Usa #5 in latest Fifa rankings

[slick7]

first of all, i'm not braging myself, well maybe just lil' bit...lol
I don't believe those rankings, germany is a 20+ and they favorites for the WC, they always are...
The game against you guys, you will maybe win or even a draw...but expect germany at the world cup, they always get there...

It is truly something in your blood, you will never play soccer like us, and we will never play basketball like you...simple as that, you are born with it

watch an english guy play soccer and a brazilian, the difference is huge...those who like soccer know what i'm saying...

What about your boy Oscar Schmidt. He was the man at basketball. We're getting better as a country in soccer. The problem is that there are so many little league sports to choose from, little kids around the US don't always play soccer. Who knows if that will change.

Forever and ever

True, hes a legend around here, but you know its only one... This country loves soccer, we have the best players that ever played and are playing... We will, probably bring the next WC... and on basketbal...not so much...

but you know you gotta give credit to those guys, even those americans who play soccer when they could be playing football, basketball, baseball...

Estou bem e você? thats speaking correctly

now: everyday language

Tah tdo blz e tu? tranqüilo...

lol

I'm from the south

Shaolin i could keep up with Spanish but Portuguese sounds alot different to me. I think Brazil will win the world cup also. You have like 5 Strikers who would start on anyone elses team. Same with your midfield. Your coach will have a tough time deciding who to sit on the bench. Maybe you could loan us a player or three LOL.

Did you guys see the game between Germany and the U.S?

Told you the Germans were at a high level, 3 goals in 5 minutes

I missed it F1. Had to work. i've seen the German team play and seem a little disinterested. When they are commited as a team they are scary.

Did any of my fellow futbol fans see the latest FIFA world rankings. USA #5. You have got to be kidding me!!!!! I think France was 8th or 9th. We don't have a player on our team that would crack the starting lineup for the French team. If we played them in a friendly, they would destroy us.

2 questions.

How do they come up with the world rankings?
Will the US even get out of group play this summer?

I've been only a casual fan since I've stopped playing soccer, but even I can relate to this being an absolute joke.

Anyone here watch the MLS? If you don't, all I can say is that the MLS flat out blows. Their passing and ball control is a joke, and their one-on-one game is zilch compared to the wizards of Europe. There's a few American standouts, but even those guys waste away on random German teams...

Germans were out for blood after their loss to italy. They did well against the US "C" team. The majority of the players on the pitch for the us were fighting for bench spots at the world cup.
