If this comes off, my wife and I will be there.
Sounds like a good opportunity to have our wedding anniversary & second honeymoon somewhere, and be able to catch a game while we're at it. :)
Cheers,
William
You bastard! You get to watch YA live, and now you plan to see the yanks in England. Damn you! :D

You forgot... on free-to-air TV in some cases. ;)
It's a charmed life, I guess...

Well, that scuppers everything. :(
Any other details, Flan, regarding the denial and who England may play instead? I still have the prospect of seeing an England match against the Socceroos, perhaps-- that was another rumour...

William I would love to see it as well and would buy my ticket tomorrow, etc...
I read it or heard it somewhere, can't remember where. But what's the problem? That was good enough, for pedro, not me? :)

Shame it's been confirmed as untrue as I'd like to see a match between us and the Americans.

It was in the Sunday Sun. An English Regional Newspaper.
This paper is known for its "dodgy" sources.

We'd get our a** handed to us, but it would be an interesting match. We have been known to pull off some surprises. Well, lately anyway.

on what freaking basis do you say that? Would they hand us are a$$ like they did to Macedonia? Just because they have a 3 lions on their shirt doesnt mean the will run over anyone.
They may win, yes, we may win, we may draw. but whoever wins will do so by earning it.
I'm glad our PLAYERS dont share you "enthusiam" in our Nats

That said, I, and many other U.S. fans, would anticipate this match more so than against any other world opponent. England has been pure class for so long.
England, pure class? Yes, they've won one world cup, but in 100 years of football what else of major note have they accomplished? Are they good? yes. Have they EVER been the best? a long, long time ago. But hey, everyone still seems to think they are godlike so why not? Lets have at it, maybe they still have something to teach us that we haven't already managed to learn for ourselves.

Can't see it happening mush.
I mean, we would want quality opposition.

It's all very simple. England are rubbish. England's players are all overrated. The USA are an emerging world power. The fact the that the US made the final 8 in 2002 proves that the US are a top 8 team. England making the final 8 proves nothing as they are rubbish.
The US team did better in this world cup than in the last world cup, which proves they are getting better. England's record or not qualifying in 94, 2nd round in 98 and quarter-finals in 2002 proves that England are in decline.
The US will surely overtake England soon and even though this technically means England are better than the US at the moment, England are rubbish but the US are a top team.

No, our losses were to Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Honduras, thank you very much! All much stronger than T&T!
FWIW, we beat T&T at home, tied away after we had already clinched a spot in the finals.

You know what's sad? Some of the Americans here would, in all seriousness, agree with that.
