pepsa Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Your wishes don't seem very exciting guys..I mean,the leading teams are quite the same over the years.World Cup would be more intense with a newcomer in the final,an unexpected country nobody could see coming.My favorite countries are the USA and Japan so I would love to see one of them here,or maybe Mexico.Of course it's a long shot but I know the US grows stronger over the years and beat a lot of countries in the last WC,so maybe they could be this unexpected newcomer.It's like the BO numbers,unexpected means exciting Thay you agree that Belgium should win XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the US won one game last World Cup, 1-0 against Algeria, I wouldn't call that a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they make it out of that group, then maybe they can go to the quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexJoker Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) Would not want US to reach the finals, because they play shit football. Would like teams who play attacking football to reach the later stages of the tournament, traditional heavyweights or not.

Rsyu Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) I wonder whether USA making it to the WC finals would make the average American care about it at all. This following poll does not seem to indicate it being so 62% of Americans don't know what a World cup is...nuff said link: http://ipsos-na.com/download/pr.aspx?id=13597 Edited April 18, 2014 by Rsyu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germany is, arguably, the best team in the world and Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo. Ghana eliminated the US team in 2010. So, there's a really good chance that the US team might end up on the bottle in it's group. Edited April 18, 2014 by Wally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The US is drawn with Ghana, Germany and Portugal. If they make it out of that group, then maybe they can go to the quarters. If they do, they'll, most likely, face Belgium on the round of 16, so I doubt they'd get to the quarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepsa won't like this comment :PStill,I'm quite ignorant about soccer so.. Only a soccer ignorant would have said that ....they have one of the most talented and upcoming squad in the tournament. And they have individual experience and maturity where you require the most, defense. But as a unit, in competitions like the WC, thats where they lack collective experience.

Tower Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) The ratings for the world cup in the US are actually quite good. The last world cup final had higher ratings than the average NBA or MLB finals, and far more than any Hockey game has ever made. Only American Football is on another level.
