USA v. England: Who will win?

[Matt in the Hat]

I am not an English fan but the USA has no chance in beating them. Soccer is still played best in Europe!!! :cool:
Maybe you should let Brazil in on that info

[Maczebus]

Well isn't that why all the Brazil players are over here playing?

[Revelian]

Usa 2 Eng 0 then they're gonna want a rematch later this year or maybe next year. And when we win this time they're gonna say yeah its ok it was only our B C D E F......etc team it was a friendly and my all time favorite we were tired it was a long trip. Regardless the US will win and it'll piss all the brits off and then you hear em with their lowsey excusses.

It certainly won't piss of ALL Brits. Scots and Welsh will be content with an ENGLAND defeat.

And, yeah, it is our C Team. I'm glad we see eye to eye.

It certainly is the C team, but it's also not the best US squad playing this match either.

Aren't Sol and the two Cole's playing? It sounds like a mix of A, B, and C to me.

Why any Brits would care about the result of a friendly is a matter I'll leave you to explain.

[OutKast3000]

The will be 0 - 0. it is a Murphy's Law sort of thing.

I got tickets so of course it will be 0 - 0.

The 3 previous games I have been to (including Man Utd vs. Bayern Munich) have all been 0 - 0.

[SCBozeman]

Agreed.

It's not a pure England "C" team, and it appears to be a mix of the US "A" and "B" as well depending on who starts. Heck, with Clyde Simms (basically an amateur a year ago and not lighting up MLS at all), you could say we're a mixture of "A", "B" and "C" as well.

Result: 0-0.
Real result: We'll have to wait for the glorious day when the US plays England at the WC to be able to put an end to the multitude of stupid threads between US and English posters about who is better. This has too many caveats to be able to settle the matter.

not necessarily, i think the brazilians enjoy the millions from europe vs the chump change most would be pulling at home.

[CyphaPSU]

Me too, so that scoreline will likely be correct. :rolleyes:

Not to mention some horribly ill-timed injuries. I will be there too.

Anyone know what the subs rule is?

[wrenmj]

that attitude is exactly why they keep getting bounced from international competitions. the "just a friendly" attitude is competitive poison. i support england but many of ther players are no longer hungry. this is an opportunity missed by the uk's a-teamers to prepare against a quality side. if they're so good, why not send your a team, destroy the us, send an early message to the world that you will be a force in 06, and generate some early momentum for a change?

isn't bruce arenas latest plan to terrify his players before they go out whenever you play someone half decent (for example holland and mexico)?? because if he does that against us hes met his match with sven, who seems to spend his whole time with the team telling them how good our opponents are....it could be the first game on record when the ball doesn't leave the centre circle!!

the sooner they clone guus hiddink and put a copy in charge of every team the better

sven is pants. whn is england going to tap a real manager like mourinho?

[wrenmj]

is it true that fielding a side in the uk was so difficult that they actually tapped up lee bowyer and kieran dyer?

[james_smith99]

england will never go near anyone like mourinho. sven was supposed to be whiter than white and the FA got caught out with him time and again: tapping up from chelsea, some skanky birds in the tabloids and worst of all hes added nothing to the team that most people (...alright other than keegan) wouldn't have done.

you're kidding right? england (and anyone else) would hire robert hoyzer as their manager if he could deliver a world cup!

What?
Dyer's in the regular England squad/team.
I may have missed your point - if there was one.

whats a robert hoyzer???

you fail to understand the attitudes of the old boys running english football if you think that winning is all that matters. the premier league may take that attitude as they are businessmen, but the people that select england managers are commitee members who feel they are in public service and have a duty to protect the game. for all svens managerial credentials he was hired as the footballing equivalent of abba or volvo, "be swedish, be bland and be inoffensive....oh, and a world cup would be nice if you can manage it!"

point being that if england can't send anyone worth watching, they might at least bring the circus to town for entertainment.

[Maczebus]

The amount they are 'worth watching' is all in the eye of the beholder. And if you still can't understand why so many people are pulling out if this tour, then do some more reading round here.
