Nah, four players, and the rest was a b-c team.

Not even Rafa Marquez was playing.

But just like Vin Diesel said: Winning is winning... no matter if you win by an inch or by a mile.

Actually no. When the Colts are 13-1 with the division clinched, do they play their starters against the Texans? Fuck no - they rest and get ready for the real games. I guess Houston can play for their pride and shit though...
 
Fuuuuck, it was all they were talking about at the small tex mex place I went to today. What made it worse is that I know spanish and look Hispanic so I was basically forced to act like I was super excited about their win.

In actuality, I was very happy. American soccer is awful and its the one space in the international scene that is unarguably not dominated by Americans.

Actually they're likely to. They got burned on that a couple years ago. They didn't even get the B team out until the Titans last year in the last game of the season. My poor colts. :(

American soccer is quite good actually. You just refuse to take notice.

Soccer = A sport.

But soccer does not = football.

which also means this has nothing to do with the Patriots.

therefore this is irrelevant.

which means that there was no cheating involved and integrity of the game was upheld.
 
I love US Soccer. Because 99% of America doesn't care about it and our worst athletes (kids too timid or unskilled to play the 4 major sports in America) flock to it and still compete with most of the world's best teams.

Oh wow, Mexico beat USA's JV squad. Only dolts and people who don't know jack squat would act like it's a big deal.

I resent that, I don't know jack squat and it doesn't matter to me at all.

I guess we can wait til the 12th in Mexico to see what happens. I'm just saying that as a former high school/early college player (13+ years of playing) some of my teammates say the same thing every year before the world cup. This all culminated in me getting yelled at before the last world cup where we were going to make it to the "quarters at least". Yea, that didn't happen.

And I don't see American soccer going anywhere for a while.

It's called football because it is played on foot rather than horseback, not because you kick the ball.

The win is meaningless.

The sad truth is that sports don't revolve around winning every game anymore. Its only about winning the games that matter now.
 
I love how people call american football wimpy for using pads.

Imagine getting hit by someone like warren sapp in his prime without pads. The probability of severe injury or death would be stupidly high.

You mean like, baseball games, right?
 
Sigh, so much fail in this thread. There's a reason the whole world plays soccer, and it's because it's the best sport by far. It's simple, requires amazing amounts of diverse skills, and is a religion in some countries. There's also a reason why the World Cup is the LARGEST SPORTING EVENT IN THE WORLD.

I still hate how baseball's championship is called the World Series.

Americans lose match in sport most Americans don't give a shit about. Big shocker there.

This is so true. :lol: Or at least, I guess it's true for many, many people in the US. Which is a shame because their national team does deserve way more attention and recognition than what they usually get, especially after their oustanding performance at the recent Confederations Cup, and their solid performance throughout the WC Qualifiers.

For us in Mexico, this was a big game, but more than that, it was a chance for the national team to prove that there was some kind of improvement after a good number of horrendous performances in recent months, that there was/is some hope with two critical matches on the horizon, against the US (the real one) and Costa Rica national teams in the WC Qualifiers. The danger here is that people here in Mexico might start to lose perspective about the upcoming game against the US, based on the result of this match which does not accurately reflect the current state of both national teams.
 
It is an annoyance everytime Mexico plays a soccer game. I live down by the border. The fans always clog up Burgers and Beer and drink and babble in their native tongue...which after taking 5 years in grade school and 3 semesters of college I still can't make heads or tails of...and every so often erupt in a "goooooooooool" fest. Its annoying. I understand though. Its hard for people whose country is most noted for being south of another one.

What if Warren Sapp hits Warren Sapp?

Exactly.

The NFL Combine is waaaaaaaaaaaay more relevant than the MLB regular season. There's only so many ways you can hit a home run, but guys like Maurice Clarett, Charles Rogers, and Reggie Bush are once in a lifetime prospects!

BTW that's a shit tourney, come down to CONMEBOL and lets see if you guys even qualify
Click to expand...

Mexico finished 3rd place in the last Copa America.

Beat

Brazil 2-0
Ecuador 2-1
Paraguay 6-0
Uruguay 3-1

Tied
Chile 0-0

Stomped by
Argentina 3-0

I'd say they more than qualified.

They do very well in CONMEBOL both at the national and club levels.

Thats just about every sport..

and this game didn't matter because it was for the Gold Cup. The only international trophy that matters in football is the World Cup and the European Cup for European countries and Copa America.

Club football, every game matters unless you're crowned champions ahead of time.
 
Really... what's up with all the racial comments?

This is NeoGAF. Yes, I'm a junior, but I know that racists comments are not allowed here. If you guys want to criticise go ahead and criticise the players, the game, etc, but not with racist bullshit.

Disregarding all sarcasm in previous post, I've got to say this: The best athletes in the world do not play soccer. It may be a great sport, but I think Americans would much rather see a guy jump from the free throw line or plow through two 300 lb D-lineman. I tried explaining offsides to a couple of my friends and they were completed baffled that someone would implement a rule that deliberately cripples the better athlete/player. I like soccer, but only more than baseball - and that ain't sayin much.
 
The best is when the US beats Mexico in soccer (happens pretty regularly otherwise this thread wouldn't even exist.) Mexicans are all pissed off and the US still doesn't give a fuck!


Congrats on finally beating the US in soccer (in America) this decade :lol


Next up, try and do it in a meaningful match :lol

Those were created centuries afterwards. If you're too intellectually lazy to grasp etymology then piss off.

That too, yeah. But you don't see near as many amazing feats of sheer athleticism in soccer as you do in basketball, football, or even baseball.

You have this the wrong way round. The offside rule gives the advantage to the faster player and forces intelligent passing play by preventing goal hanging. Without it football would be terrible.
 
i hate when people say "and whats the deal with amercian football? i mean, when do you use your feet!? come on guys!"

first off, everything about football starts with your feet. no matter your position, you need to move your feet. you advance the ball with your feet. you kick field goals with your feet.

now that we've moved on front that, i don't think anyone is going to argue that soccer is the most popular sport in the world. but it's just never going to amount to anything in the united states.

now we can sit here and have a wankfest as to which sport requires the most athleticism, or which main even is most popular, or why sport X is best, but what's the point? people like what they like. the united states loves football, the rest of the world loves soccer. life goes on!
