Annoyed with US Soccer

fatmaradona · Jul 14, 2004

I know we thought we'd be in the Olympics, but even so, we should be participating in Copa America. For those who have watched, it has been an entertaining tournament, with high-quality teams. We should be there instead of Costa Rica (who look terrible) which would give us a match against Brazil.
I don't care if we didn't send all of our "A" guys---it be a great experiance and Bruce could see who could handle the pressure. A terrible waste of a great opportunity---I only hope we get invited again.

--For those who say the MLS season matters more, well, I disagree, to me the national team is what will make soccer popular in the US.
