Further more it is also these third world countries that have their players recruited by European leagues. So maybe you should think about that before you go rooting for a country that should win only because they have a better ability to finance their team. They are playing for the money others play for the game.

Very well stated

I'm sorry but I just had to state my opinion here. But how does the USA beat Mexico? Honestly am beginning to feel that these games have already been determined in order to let the USA adavance to the finals.

I know this comment will probably end up pissing off some die hard USA soccer fans but those who are TRULY REAL soccer fans will have to agree that it seems a little odd. The USA soccer team isnt more than a decade old and is beating old established well known soccer teams??? When does that happen? Let's face USA cant win it all, maybe someone should inform the players of this.

Just my opinion

Yeah that was a pretty piss-poor comment to make regarding the Greatest tournament on Earth.

Is the US one of the 8 best teams in the world? No, not close.....but I'd hope you've played a game or two in your life and sometimes that's the way the ball bounces. Hey....in this conspiracy theory of yours where does Chinas coach resigning come in, France becoming a laughing stock of the world....Senegal was the last of the qualifying African teams so if you want to talk about a team....speak of them in the same breath....

now I'm sorry, but I'm not taking offense to your comment on the US not deserving it.....but to think the cup has been bought....Where the F do you come off saying shit like that?

Did you see Mexico play today? It was miserable....anytime they would have liked to have had offense they were 4' offsides.
Hey....if you wanna refer to the US....call my error, but what is the series between the two, Mexico and US..I believe Mexico typically loses to the US.....and Mexico nearly defeating Italy....I'm sorry bud but that's a hell of a greater feat then the US beating Mexico...

But hey,......Great Conspiracy Theory......but where the hell where the Red Cards at today when a great many mexican stars deserved them?

Now that it's come to the end, who will it be? Who are you rooting for?

I'd like to see Ronaldihno play great, as well as Roberto Carlos....but in the end I hope Germany kicks their butts....And I want Klose to net a few to beat Rivaldo on points....he really annoyed me this cup
