Best Sporting Moment?

[dirty raider]

Whoever said cricket was boring.

I'm pretty suprised it hasn't taken off in America actually, its pretty similar to baseball really and its a very statisics dominated sport something which tends to be popular in American sports.

I dont like cricket...... I love it!!

It can be boring but i think weve got one of the best teams for years and Vaughny is the best captain weve ever had!

100 years.. ha!...i mean why is brazil so good? because its a huge country, has alot of talent to pick from.. england's like a 4th the size California alone is....dont get me wrong i love english futbol, i loved living in Brussels and eating/sleeping the game.. but i got to have pride for my team, Cuz its not IF its WHEN and when is soon, believe me... right now we already have more soccer players on every level of play then england.. now it might take a 100 years to beat all the best players of Europe, seeing as Europes about the same size...We made a scratch in the last world cup, next one we'll make a dent! and im gunna look you up and laugh in your face, All in good sportsminship tho

now i've seen both sides of this argument in person and i know your laughing as you read it...

Its got nothing to do with the size of the country, look at Austrailia their population is even less than ours and yet they've kicked arse in several sports for many years now.

Its to do with the infrostructure and the attitude towards the sport. I'm sure the U.S will do well in time as you tend to be a very competitive people (sterotyping i know but it tends to be true) but I can't see it happening anytime soon.

I disagree....size of country has alot to do with it...not all to do with it...alot is also like you said the attitude towards it...but as i said before soccer is really begginning to take flight here...and its happening right now..we've got great players that are still young bucks.. playing for Europes more prominant teams..im not trying to say were gunna take complete control and be the best... but were gunna be competers and demand respect... there isnt much that seperates our teams, we give every team on this world tough matches and close games...i cant remeber the last time we were blown out except for maybe the lost to Germany in the france world cup..

and im sure that we've gained much respect by the players rather than their fans...

My favourite sporting moments are watching my football team SYDNEY CITY ROOSTERS win the grandfinal.Not this year though.I also like boxing and love watching Anthony Mundine get his cocky ass knocked out lol

Don't get me wrong i do respect the U.S in football(id rather see you win than Germany) but you gotta remember that football is our national sport its ingrainded in our culture whereas the U.S has at least 3 sports that are more popular. If you look at the last friendly we played youll see we beat you with perhaps our 3rd choice team! The size of the country dosn't matter its about the quality of the leagues and the players Russia has a huge population but aint so good, If America had to play the quality of the teams we do in Europe or the teams in South America they probably wouldnt even quilify for world cups in the first place. Brazil are the best not because of the size of the country but because all the poor kids have nothing except football and again it is rooted deep in their culture
P.s ill think youll have to visit my grave stone to laugh in my face if you win the World Cup cos ill be long gone mate!!

pps this is why football is so great cos it stirs such opinion and emotion and lets face it in a one off match anyone has a chance of winning and losing therefore people like me do have to eat their words!!! also its great to see an American who loves Footie and i do hope it becomes even more popular over there because Football is truely an International sport that breaks down barriers between countries!!!
