As far as Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain, I think they all played well this world cup. I know that only 7 countries have won the World Cup and they are not among them. I'm only waiting to see what happens Saturday with France and Brasil, if France wins (heaven forbid)I don't care what happens or who wins after that : o ) Rene, the World Cup is not just a game, it’s THEEEEE game, I’m just of the mind-set that you root for the country you were born in, but to each his own, thank you for your comments.

That was the time when Landon peed on Estadio Jalisco's field. That guy has absolutely no class. Diana: If you equate bashing the U.S. soccer team as bashing the country, then you are as misguided as some of my Mexican colleagues are. This is just a game. You need to relax and enjoy it. You also should think about this for a second: Do you think Spain, Netherlands, Portugal are good teams? If you do, can you tell me how many championships have they won? You need to realize that becoming a champion in soccer takes an incredible amount of time. Look at Argentina as an example... they started playing since the first world cup back in 1930, and it took them until 1978, at home field, to win a championship, even though they had players like Di Stefano, Pedernera, etc. playing for them. The way I see it, The U.S. is at the state of development Mexico had back in Chile 1962... we where able to beat a few class B teams, but were not ready to compete against the big boys. I assure you that had Mexico played against the Czech republic, they would have not lost the match by 3 goals, because they have kept their development going by going to Copas America and Libertadores. The U.S. needs to do that too if the team is to become world class. Relyin on the MLS that much is not healthy, since the league does not have the level of quality required. It is going to be interesting to see how well the U.S. matches against Mexico now that Arena is most likely out. There are always certain coaches with certain players that know how to play a specific team, but it doesn't necessarily mean they are better once they leave. Only time will tell. Josue:

Soy nacido en los Estados Unidos de padres latinos o hispanos como sea tu preferencia, lo que no soy es Mexicano. Y buenos puntos R2D2 de lo que es la liga mexicana y sus jugadores, pero ya se tiene que realizar esto- México será los gigantes de la Concacaf para equipos como Honduras o Nicaragua, pero para los Estados Unidos, la única forma de ganarnos es por la altura y la atmósfera (polución del DF) del estadio azteca. Cualquier otro lugar en este mundo, incluyendo tu propio México, se vera que los Estados Unidos saldrán triunfadores. De esto estoy seguro. Veras, el tiempo de mexico como los unicos de la concacaf se ha terminado. Punto y final. Ojalá no le pase a Salcido lo que le paso a Borghetti en INglaterra. Josué OUT. No soy chicano tampoco.

No podemos ser campeones de la noche a la manana ni tampoco ganar un mundial de chiripa. Sabemos que se necesita talento y eso si lo tenemos chingada madre. Siempre estamos en los mejores 16 y la cagamos en la segunda ronda. Eso es senal de que vamos por buen camino. Nuestra selecion es chingona y poco a poquito esta avansando. Si se puede y los vamos a lograr mas pronto que se imaginan. Vamos Mexico!!!! - I find this comment extremely funny. It says that "mexico can't be champions overnight". My friend, it's been many many many nights. Mexico has been playing for years but they never get anywhere. When it comes to playing with other countries, Mexico is second rate. About the U.S. team, it's true that the team is no good, but for those of you bashing it while you're living in this country that feeds you and clothe you, you need to be ashamed. If your loyalty lies with another country, go to it and live there. No se aguiten cabrones que sabemos que Mexico es un Gigante.

The Libertadores has helped Mexico a lot and would allow MLS players to have a higher level of competition every year.

They think that the local league (MLS) is good enough to provide the team with quality players to compete to win the World Cup, and that sending them to Europe is not necessary. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/soccer/specials/world_cup/2006/06/27/bc.soc.wcup.us.defending.ap/index.html If that continues to be their point of view, it will take them quite a while before they are able to do anything important.
