This America we don't give a fuck we call it soccer here and football is football. Just like we don't use the metric system here, we do things different.

haha, it's that we don't give a fuck attitude which is driving this country to the ground. what can I say Ignorance is bliss.
And i'm still waiting to hear your convincing argument for why you think our best atlethes play football, baseball and basketball. I believe your genetic make up is what determines wheter you will play this sports professionally. there a reason why you don't see 6'9 guys playing football or line backers playing basketball. Your argument holds no water.

I also find it funny that he keeps carrying on this argument in a thread dedicated to the World Cup. Go into the NBA thread if you want to admire your "world best" athletes...

Holy Fuck

I just realized myself and another rookie started a new tradition back in the spring of 98, that has been carried on. Apparently they are still wearing high black socks and black shorts to this day.

I just saw a recent pic of the team if you are wondering how I figured that out.

Put it like this get Landon Donnovan(sp) against Roy Jones on a football field, basketball court, baseball field, then an obsticle course for good measure and see if he comes out on top. I'm sorry but my money's on Roy Jones. We can go down a whole list of top atheletes in football and basketball and put them up against the US World Cup team in this same comparision(of course no football or basketball players playing their sport) and let's see who comes out on top.

And until they have this ultimate athletic competition, noone will ever know. Your opinion states Roy Jones will win. Well, guess what, your opinion is not a fact.

I think Landon Donovan sucks, but thats besides the point. Lets go back to Lance Armstrong, you mentioned him earlier. Is he not a good athlete? He probably cant play football or baseball to save his life, so are football players and baseball players better athletes? No, its all relative to the sport being played. There is no way you can make a blanket statement like that.

How about Thierry Henry? Who the heck is Landon Donnovan?

I thought you said that the U.S. athletes would dominate the sport, so shouldn't you be comparing them to the best of the best?

Which is why you're comparing them to a boxer?

I totally disagree. What do you consider "best athlete."
