US soccer needs to step her game up.
Rivalry between entire countries is so much more fun than rivalry between cities. At least when it comes to sport. Everybody's going nuts when the national team wins, its like a big fucking party everywhere in the country. Right now you could probably be driving drunk as fuck honking the whole time and the cops wouldnt give a shit, downtown is hella crowded and its a weekday, bitches in Black Red Gold everyhwere :D
the fuck are you talking about between cities???


you guys are gettin this twisted I'm not saying to WATCH AND SUPPORT THE MLS(even tho it is getting better) IM talking about the U.S. Men's National team and the Olympic qualifying team... I'm talking about supporting the USA national team... and I find it funny that some people on here born and live in the US, just bandwagon onto another country cause thats the popular thing to do

Feddy Adu doesn't suck he's only 19
Jozy Altidore doesn't suck he's like 19 too
Landon Donavon doesn't suck man
Dempsey
Beasley
Tim Howard


we have quality players man
The US team hasn't won shit, neither did anyone you just listed, even though they all might be talented. The US focus is on Football, Basketball and Baseball. Thats where the money is. Talented athletes rather become Football stars, because they will probably make 5 time as much as if they would play for LA Galaxy. As long as soccer is only No. 4 in the US, and your National league doesn't improve quality wise, your team wont be among the best in the world for a long ass time, even though your country definitely has the sports talent.

fuck USA soccer. I havent seen a game when USA dominated a game or beaten a well known team. USA got way out played when they played England and England wasnt even in the EURO Cup. I'll cheer for USA when they get to the World cup but lets face it they suck. They only futbol USA should be playing is FOOTBALL, the NFL.

I go for Germany because I have family from Germany and Im half German myself.

i meant this in general terms. You got the NBA NFL MLB and all the rivalry is within your own country between different cities.
It would be much more fun, if the US had a competitive soccer team, so your entire country could go nuts, if the team wins, not just a city.

thats what im saying, people need to support, wouldn't it be 324640632 times better to cheer for USA instead of picking a country just because you have a some in you...( i know your from germany or live there or something so im not talkin bout you)

we don't need to have a really good MLS to be competitive at the national level... look at basketball... where do all the good international players go? the NBA...

and now look at Spain and other countries catching up to the USA in basketball...

Spain won the world championship a few years ago

and another thing, you can make just as much money in soccer that you can in football being born in the USA, you just have to go overseas to England, Italy, Spain ET. and get paid grips and grips of money..

Dempsey did it, so did Jozy Altidore, tim Howard, Beasley,Adu, bocanegra... ETC

Most of the US players have been playing for European, mostly English clubs, if im not mistaken, but your National Team is still far away from the top.
You do need a strong national league in order to produce well educated young US players, who can develop their game play on an internationally competitive level.

I mean take Brazil for example, they don't have the best National league at all, not even close... but yet Brazil is ranked number 1 in the world.

but Soccer is still less popular than other sports in the US. A large amount of talented people who could become great at soccer don't even consider trying it in the first place, because other sports are more attractive.
more soccer players = more quality in the end
Soccer is the most popular sport in Europe, thats why we're so good at it.

understand that, but I don't think you know how popular soccer is for the youth in this country, I work at a sporting goods store, and people everyday are buying soccer cleats, balls, etc... and everybody I know, played soccer at an early age.. so yeah.

Soccer is like Religion in Brazil. And all you need is a ball to play it, so even the poorest kids can enjoy it. Its everywhere in the streets and beaches, cant say that about the US. Plus, the Brasilien league is FULL of talented young players, but the money is in Europe, so most of the talent goes there after some time, but their soccer education takes place in Brazil, for the most part.
