RELEASE THE CRACKEN HAHAHA !
I thought he said that lmfao!!!!!!!!!!  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


Seriously though, there is ONLY one real reason why football/soccer will never properly take off in the USA.  And that is 45mins a half ATLEAST is too long a period without comericals, it is as simple as that.  Nothing to do with the game not translating across the atlantic, there are like 300 million people in America, some are bound to like it.  Its purely because of the timing structure.  Perhaps if they tweaked it for the USA, instead of two 45min halfs, we had three 30min sessions, short of that, its dead in the water.

I watched a game between Yankees and someone else, it was boring as hell

I'm more of an Ice Hockey fan, fell asleep in the 3rd bit of the Stanley Cup final, take it Red Wings won it?

America won't have a chance until we learn to call it football.  America's greatest contribution to footy, was teaching the world how to make $27 billion off it, instead of $26 billion.

Oh and we taught them how to kick even if you are fat and watching dr phil...

lulz

I'm American and I'd be depressed if we beat England...

Edit  I knew this thread couldn't go without the "We beat your ass and saved your ass, we can do it again".  Words can only be condescending to the listener, so Jamiet, I think it's time to chill.

GTFO....you are annoying.
Parker is american and doesn't get offended. No one said anything bad about America in this thread, for the record I think you guys have awesome accents.

It's almost like a Chelsea/United team

Yet they all suck (when playing together)

Except for Becks it's all United, Chelsea and Pompey. Which, considering United and Chelsea both reached the final. Screams of the quality. Yet, McLaren and they fucked up. I still can't get over it.

The defence is decent but its the midfield that worries me on that front.  Gerrard and Lampard cannot play together.  I would have found room for Gareth Barry in there, perhaps drop Lampard.  That means Barry can go out left, Hargreaves can drop back, and Gerrard has license to get forward and support the strikers which he loves doing.
