Will the US Qualify for Germany 2006?

[yankiboy]

We WILL qualify, out and out.

We may be 2nd to Mexico or maybe even 3rd, but we will not have to go to Asia. That is not insult to our neighbors in the Hex. It's just that we play well at home and I believe that we can steal some points in GUA, PAN, and T&T.

It should be exciting.

Well common let's be honest, it's not only the Mexicans who have been trolling but some yanks have been trolling as well, lets not forget that this is a simple rivalry, we both have our differences, but in the end it's all about the game itself and it pisses me off that people both yanks and Mexies go way overboard when it comes to this.

My man Tool and my man Butters both make excellent points. It's a rivalry, but let's not let things it get out of hand. Butters nailed it.

But then again, I have been accused of being too sensitive when it comes to talking smack on the board.

You are so right. Why waste all this time when we can sum it up like this..

2-0

I'll be dissapointed if we don't finish 1st and I'm looking at this realistically. We are the best team in CONCACAF and our recent experience in the WC should help this. This is the best US squad probably ever, and we should show it. No more last minute ties or losses to Mexico. We are the best team in the region and we should show it. I want to finish first and beat Mexico at the Azteca, but maybe I'm asking too much :rolleyes:


not qualifying would be the biggest let down ever, its just so beyond unacceptable that I can't even concieve the idea.

Wow you just proved my point, how ironic.

Yea, I know...but that one never gets old!

Greetings from Oceania! I probably have no place butting into a CONCACAF discussion, but what makes you think the US is the best team in the region? Mexico is ranked 8, USA 11 in the FIFA rankings and Mexico have won all 6 of of their games so far, whereas the US have won 3 and drawn 3. Just wondering... :rolleyes:

Also, of course the US will qualify for the World Cup. The system is too easy for you. Try playing group games against uncompetitive Pacific island nations, and then go straight into a play-off with a South American team which has been hardened by 18 CONMEBOL group games! :(

We dominate Mexico when we play them, and have done so for the past few years.

We don't care how Mexico is rated by FIFA as long as we keep beating them, which we have been doing. As for the record in the preliminary rounds, Mexico had a walk, thanks to TFC's wanker director from T&T -- both teams were in a group with St. Kitts and another island minnow. Meanwhile, Canada was stuck in a Group of Death, and the US was in a group that proved nearly as tough.

You know another one that also never gets old?... Oh yeah the one that before 1990 the US had not been to a WC since 1950, so why don't you just stop trolling, the US has won some battles, Mexico has one some battles and lets just leave it at that.

I agree with CF here. I'm American but I don't think we're way in front of the rest of the pack in CONCAF. We finished third in the Hexagonal four years behind Costa Rica and Mexico and also finished third in the Gold Cup. I definitely think we've improved alot over the last four years, and will most certainly qualify for the WC - but I think at the US + Mexico are still about evenly matched. We may look the best team in the region at the moment but I think that we still have to prove it in this hexagonal by finishing first.

If I am not mistaken the USMNT has beaten Mexico in the last 4 meetings. In my eyes that would make USMNT better than Mexico regardless of whether USMNT won 3 drew 3, and Mexico won 6...

I could be wrong here but I think USMNT have beaten Mexico decisively in every meeting since before the last World Cup.

[Champagne Football]

Fair enough.

By the way, Australia beat England 3-1 in London last year...........

That doesn't have anything to do with it, but I just wanted to say it! :D

[soccer_is_life]

Actually if U.S. does end up against the 5th place team from ASIA i really think they wouldn't have too much problem beating them, unless it was IRAN heheeh :) Well I don't think that will happen anyway because Iran will finish 1st or second for qualifiing I am sure. As for U.S. they are a better team than MExico and will surly qualify above Mexico for #1 spot

Honestly. No chance. And that 3-1 was a friendly mate. FACTOMONDO.

[Champagne Football]

Hehehe.... I just wish we could play off against the 4th team in CONCACAF, rather than a CONMEBOL team, because I really think Australia wouldn't have too much problem beating them! ;)

No chance of what? :confused:
I know it was a friendly, but it was there to be won.
