why am i always seeing comments like these, where americans insist on comparing the us national team to the english one. stop doing it we are leaps and bounds ahead of you, we are in different leagues altogether.

our team consists of players from chelsea ,man U , tottenham, arsenal, liverpool, real madrid , and newcastle.

yours consists of players from man city , reading , fullham, galaxy, revolution, fire, muchengladbach or whatever etc.

no need to give me negative rep as well you know, i am only stating a point.


I dunno...for a start, England has a much easier group then the US which is in the 2nd hardest group. And most folks around here seem to think the US will beat Italy. I do agree that England has a better squad (by far) but the Yanks will make an impact and will certainly get out of the group stage. Their main concern should be the 2nd round where they meet Brazil. But they've beaten them before, so... Let us wait and see.

I honestly think that some US fans are just ignorant .When they see the US crushing the Granadas and Panamas of the world , they think the US must be a world class team . In the summer, when they are up against the Czechs , Italy and Ghana they will be proven wrong.

if anyone wants to make a monetary bet. i'll give 4 to one odds on any amount that italy doesn't win the cup. if anyone really thinks they win let me know and i'll bet you

about the english national team. I am going to go out on a limb and say that the English Premier League is very overrated. I see that you are naming all the great teams that your english national team play for. i don't think that these teams are so great. i don't think that england will make it past the quarterfinal this year. I am a USMN fan. I think they have a chance at beating out italy, but not a chance in hell in getting by czech rep. who is fielding a spectacular team at this next world cup

[jspur317]

I love the fact that noone thinks France has a chance. They play thier best as an underdog.

Allez les Bleus!

Listen france was good when they played in france. they have a bunch of old foliks now and they don't have a chance at getting this world cup. give it a rest. maybe when france hosts the cup again we'll see france rise... bon chance

Those are shithouse odds. I hope you're not a bookie for a living.

Brazil would be the obvious team to pick, however the most obvious choice to win a big tournament is not always the best one . In 2002 , France and Argentina were the clear favorites and we all know what happened to them.

4-1? Offering those kinds of odds, I would not suggest pursuing a career in bookmaking.

[NiMjAY]

wheres Ivory Coast? I think Ivory Coast has a bigger chance to win the WC than USA.

[soccerfan]

i am surprised how little chance its given to Holland, i think they will be a surprise to some

[CentraLSocceR411]

Props to the Americans who had the balls to say the USA will win it.


Agreed

I think England have as good a chance as anyone this time and probably in a long time. they know they can beat germany and argentina, and well everyone has a brazil monkey on their back right?

Wow, 4 to 1, that's brave. I get Italy and you get the 31 other teams. How about you give 32 to 1 and we'll talk.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry when watching the votes in this poll.

Seriously,this is not about what team you want to win , but about what team you think will win it all.Big difference there.But since this has been mentioned before the conclusion must be that a lot of voters are delusional.

Common, Argentina just 316 votes ?? Germany just 288 ?? Italy 277 ??

While:

USA 960 votes
Portugal 981 votes
Mexico 780 votes

Get real , people ! I know you'd like to see your team win but this is just plain rediculous......
