I'll post the current standings around the globe when I have a little more time, but I like to get the discussion going with another set of games being played this week. I'd have started this some time ago if China hadn't somehow been eliminated in the preliminary round by 1 goal last November. ](*,) U.S. lost to Mexico on Sunday, but that's expected since it's in Mexico. They should still get the top 3. Over the weekend in South America, Ecuador beat Paraguay 5:2 (not sure if Paraguay is as decent as before, so probably not an upset), Brazil won 1:0 over Peru, while Bolivia came out victorious over Venezuela 3:1. Other results from a busy week: 26-Mar-2005 Guatemala 5:1 Trinidad and Tobago Costa Rica 2:1 Panama Chile 1:1 Uruguay Bolivia 1:2 Argentina Venezuela 0:0 Colombia Tunisia 7:0 Malawi Morocco 1:0 Guinea Zambia 2:0 Congo Nigeria 2:0 Gabon Burkina Faso 1:2 Cape Verde Islands South Africa 2:1 Uganda Kenya 1:0 Botswana Senegal 6:1 Liberia Turkey 2:0 Albania Romania 0:2 Netherlands \:D/ Denmark 3:0 Kazakhstan Israel 1:1 Ireland Republic Belgium 4:1 Bosnia-Herzegovina Italy 2:0 Scotland Georgia 1:3 Greece France 0:0 Switzerland Bulgaria 0:3 Sweden Armenia 2:1 Andorra Wales 0:2 Austria England 4:0 Northern Ireland Czech Republic 4:3 Finland Liechtenstein 1:2 Russia Croatia 4:0 Iceland Estonia 1:2 Slovakia Poland 8:0 Azerbaijan 27-Mar-2005 Algeria 1:0 Rwanda Egypt 4:1 Libya Zimbabwe 2:0 Angola Mali 1:2 Togo Cote d'Ivoire 3:0 Benin Cameroon 2:1 Sudan Congo DR 1:1 Ghana |

I really think the US could beat Mexico if it was on a neutral court and we were healthy. |

Mexico played a beat up US team, on their home turf ... where they bo'd the US, chanted Osama, Osama, burned the US flag ... at an elevation the US is un used to playing. We played with you the entire game ... you beat us only as we were bent over because we wern't used to the thin air in the second half of the first period. We are better than Mexico. |

We are better than Mexico [-X . both teams are great!, and yes the thin air is a big factor on there back to back loses, but the US team its been training on the colorado mountains to prepare for this game, and i saw an interview and they were very confident entering the game! Look at there record, and i dont care about them, it dont mean notthing Mexico (MEX) -------------- USA (USA) 40-------------- Played--------- 40 19--------------- Won ----------11 10-------------- Drawn ----------10 11--------------- Lost ------------19 78------------- Goals ------------46 all visiting team get bo'd, i mean c'mon your on a different country, trying to beat there national team! Yes stupid people chanted Osama, just a few and the burned US flag wasnt during the game.... but still theres no reason to do does kinda thing. |

Oh man, World Cup in Germany, that's going to rule so much. I hope Germany makes it past the quarter-finals :???: I'd be surprised if USA makes it even there. Last time was a surprise. |

This USA team is not as strong as past to be sure ... not this world cup but the next or the one after is where I expect the US in the quarters, and possibly the finals. I would be thrilled if we make it out of ou group. |

That score was very unfortunate though... we're probably going to sack our manager soon because the results thus far have been completely unsatisfactory. We know we're not exactly worldbeaters but come on, we've been nothing short of pathetic, this is our worst performance in a qualification campaign in a loooong time. I think Sweden will win the group though... |

Pelé said that he was completely sure that an African team would win the competition before the turn of the century and guess what, no African team has even come close. Personally, I don't see the USA ever becoming a realistic contender until the sport breaks in to the mainstream over there, that is of course if it ever will. |

I wouldn't say that, when Cameron was this close to beat England to get to the 1990 semi-final in Italy. I'd say outside Europe and South America, Africa has the best chance of winning one first out of all the other continents. |

Also Senegal's performance at the last World Cup has been impressive, IMO. |

You just wait a few years, the US has a TON of young talent coming up. Im willing to bet that the US team wont make it to the world cup finals in the next 50 years or even, ever. They may have a lot of talent coming up, but really when it comes to the big stage they wont be able to compete, I say this because the competition in US leagues are crap. I think the only time of the year when these players get to play against good competition is in the summer when big european teams (like Man utd or AC) come for the summer tours etc. Unless the players get good experience playing in the big leagues like the Premiership, La liga, etc there really isnt much hope. Sadly, I would say the same for the African teams, I dont see them making it to the finals anytime soon. |
