Pre-match: Poll: How Many Goals Will the US Put Past England in the 2010 World Cup

Does it really matter? At the end of the day, the English players still have to live in England.

 

God's country

 

Bradley favours bunker ball doesnt he?
Then you look at their strikers and wonder where the goals will come from.

Dempsey is crocked with knee damage .
It took Altidore 6 months to score a goal for Hull.
Donovan has bagged 1 goal against an ailing sunderland team and melted in the MLS final.

Defending deep and banging passes up to landycakes wont cut it in the world cup.

 

hey, i saw your post and had to respond.

you clearly know nothing about soccer.

if Cole does not make it back or is not 100% before England's opening game against USA? Guess what will happen....Jozy Altidore, Demarcus Beasley, Landon Donovan, and Clint Dempsey will exploit the English defense and punish them. Know this, because Landon recently made Chelsea his bitch.

and we americans dont have their newspaper covers with pictures of E.A.S.Y. with england algeria slovenia and yanks next to the letters. every tournment england goes in claiming to be the best and that your taking it. england havnt gotten past the quarters since 1990. you missed out on euro 2008 due to over confidence. now a scandal is tearing through your national team. the us has every right to be confident with star players returning from horrific injuries and mor eplayers in great forms in their respected leages across europe.

english players live for the EPL, american players peak at the international level. to us, country is more important than club. do u think we care if american players are warming benches in europe ? all i care is we hit cruise control, play less, stay healthy, and get back to solid training in hot southern california in may. you don't get it, the english psyche is not built to win at the international level. history has shown this time and time again. and i hear you guys hyping up lennon? oh the laughter

no trash, no energy, no drive, no passion, no chance, no championship, no soccer. In soccer, you must challenge your opponents and take them head on, otherwise if u seem weak, u have no chance. its the same idea that allowed US to beat Figo and Portugal 3-2, Batistuta and argentina 3-0, Valderamma and colombia 2-1, spain 2-0. i know my side, i know who we can and can't beat. and I KNOW we'll beat england. This is the US, not Bahrain, physically and tactically, we'll be giving u a lesson u'll never forget.

you and your english fans speak out of nervousness for this match, you know what will happen on June 12th. it's unfortuate that ashley cole got injured, but england has a better player in Baines. The important thing is, between cole, lampard and Terry, they couldn't contain Donovan. that's 3 out of 11 of englands starting 11 not stopping 1 american, and he wasn't just the best on the everton side, his work made maluda, drogba etc look 2nd grade.

US fans, don't argue with the english, just relax, if u are a real US fan, u know the outcome against england. i'm going for a comfortable 3-0 win.

 

You must be talking about the women's 2010 rugby world cup with the number of points you are putting up.

Looking at the head to head record of the US women's rugby team,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_women's_national_rugby_union_team

I 'll say that you might get a try if your lucky.

But the overall score will be around ~50 points for england to the 7 points for the US.

 

Actually looking at the last England - USA game

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation...9_.28Appleby_College.2C_Oakville.2C_Canada.29

the US might limit the scoring a bit more.

 

Uh, i'm talking about soccer here. you know, the one with the world cup coming this june where we'll do another belo horizonte on you? i can't wait for the excuses you guys will come up with, especially from sinner78

 

The funny thing is that with your hype, you will have to come up with excuses should the most likely result play out. Before it was a case of the US having nothing to lose. Now some posters like yourself have everything to lose.

Makes me feel much better that you will have to eat your words when the US lose.

 

Also evidently you can't spot wit. I assume you took this poll seriously as well.

 

USA 10-ENGLAND 1

F*ck the Queen and Edward VIII!!!

 

If you're into that

I think you've misinterpreted your prediction though. Got the 1 in the wrong place. It's 11-0 to England.

 

The US doesn't have a chance to score a single goal. Not one chance.

 

very true

 

I'd go for about 16 personally with Landy on for a triple hat-trick.

 

The US is at best an average team. England is a good team. If I'm not mistaken the US finished last in their group and didn't make it past the first 3 games in the 2006 world cup (they only scored 1 point).

 

The US lost to the Czech Republic by 3 points, Ghana by 1 point, and they tied Italy

 

The best the US has ever done was get 4th place (not even a podium spot) and that was in 1930. England actually won a world cup and also got 4th place at least once. As I have also pointed out, England got into the final eight in 2006 while the US finished last in the group stage.

 

-1..

 

Only 3 1/2 months until we will see what happens. As I have said the US won't win against anyone especially one of the favorites.
