-
Wat? Everyone said you'd get out the group
-
Do I need to go pull up my past World Cup threads? No one thought we would beat Ghana, tie Portugal, or lose 1-0 to Germany
-
Except half on Europe, bnet is a terrible control group. Especially as it's mostly American

Except most of the world thought we wouldn't. And still most of the world refuses to think the US is actually decent

[quote]Except most of the world thought we wouldn't. And still most of the world refuses to think the US is actually decent[/quote] Nobody disputes the US has a good team, qualifying for 4 consecutive world cups is great, what people criticise is the support behind them and their refusal to call it football. I'll put it simply, if you guys got 50% of your population in on it, then you'd be challenging the top ten within 20 years. Your current occupation is in danger though, China are investing heavily in football, they are looking to host the 2026 or potentially even the 2022 World Cup, with their population, motivation and cash. They will be a major force in <15 years. If the US ups it's game though... GG US, give you guys the 2022 WC and you might be set

[quote]Refusal to call it football[/quote] I'm done with this conversation, that's the stupidest argument ever. It's a name, why does it matter? Especially when the first name of it was soccer? Qatar is already hosting the 2022 World Cup by the way.
-
Qatar is under investigation, I mean if it goes to the re-vote, which is what happens if they're found guilty. And they [i]are[/i] guilty. And the fact you don't call it what everyone else calls it is a genuine factor in people's perceptions

Modifié par MoReCoWbELLx2x1 : 7/1/2014 11:16:12 PMIt will only go to a revote of the top people that would've won behind Qatar. And the USA was in second. And it's a name, that's retarded. Also several other nations still call it soccer too.
-
No other nations call it soccer. Mainly because no other countries have "American Football"
-
Australia calls it soccer, along with others. And some African countries do too.
-
Australia calls it football, but the national team's nickname is the "Socceroos" And I don't think any African nations call it soccer, why would they? They were all colonies of European countries
-
So was America, and so was Australia? It only was called football as a collective whole in roughly the 1970s. Until then it was soccer mainly.
-
No OP... Hint is in FIFA and FA, think about what they stand for, then try again

[quote]The rules of association football were codified in England by the Football Association in 1863 and the name association football was coined to distinguish the game from the other forms of football played at the time, specifically rugby football. [u]The term soccer originated in England, first appearing in the 1880s as an Oxford "-er" abbreviation of the word "association".[[/u]34] Within the English-speaking world, association football is now usually called football in the United Kingdom, and mainly soccer in Canada and the United States. Other countries, such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, may use either or both terms interchangeably, although Australia and New Zealand's football organisations have recognised "football" as the official and proper term.[35][/quote] Do we need a history lesson? It's name has always been association football, but it was called soccer for most of the time. And football was used by the poor people.
