In terms of tournaments, how highly regarded is the Federation Cup? I'd imagine, second to the World Cup? Pardon my ignorance, I rarely follow soccer.

True but there's hope for an American fanbase up the Pacific Northwest. Portland and Seattle love this stuff.

I also have a question. Obviously the World Cup is the biggest but for club soccer the UEFA Champions League Title is like the Stanley Cup right?

[owedoyle]

man, it's so hard for me to justify watching soccer when it's always about theatrics, players sitting down on the pitch for minutes after being touched, and defensemen sitting in the box raising their hands instead of playing to the whistle...

Howard fail

[Clowes Line]

4-2 Really?

[Machinehead]

That guy trying to head it away should've caught it. A penalty kick at least gives Howard a chance to get back in position.

[owedoyle]

Adios Bradley.

Jurgen please!!

[Parker McDonald]

GO USA. The only reason I want them to win is so whenever I go into a pizzaria, I might not have to see soccer on. (No offense soccer fans)

[nyr2k2]

Timmy has been shaky all game.

[LeetchisGod]

This defense has been shaky as hell since Cherundolo got injured.

[Machinehead]

We have the wrong Timmy. Let's get Thomas in there

[Clowes Line]

Bradley! Why do you mind**** me with a shot like that. I thought it was 4-3..........

[Clowes Line]

Not gonna lie, as a huge ****ing hockey/Ranger fan, it reallllllllllllllllly pisses me off when I watch soccer and these little girls lie on the field when they get shoved. It realllllllllllly pisses me off cuz of how tough hockey players are and it just makes me think what *****es these soccer players are.

[owedoyle]

Whatever, I guess this just means we won't blow our load at a future Confed Cup?

Win or lose, I just hope we see as little as possible of that in American soccer. Playing the way the rest of the world should play is something we should take pride in.

Yea, I knew what you meant the first time

[poeman]

bradley is a piece of **** coach...never in my life have i seen a guy coach a team that is better then most this poorly.

He has no idea how to game manage...He is the Eric Mangini of soccer

[owedoyle]

So this had got to be Bradley's last chance at the helm right?

Can we get a legitimate coach soon? No more Arenas/Bradley nonsense.

[Clowes Line]

This is also what I ****ing hate. Mexico is up 4-2 with 2 minutes left and they are gonna BS and waste time off the clock. Really? Just man the **** up and play ball, jesus

[hpNYR]

****ing passive defense in the box and misreads by Howard did it.

[Machinehead]

Well that blew
