Members gr8fuldodd Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Much has been said about America's lack of interest in this great tournamentIt can't help that the matches are on when most are at work I'm an American and I love it. But what I really can't stand is listening to American sportscasters work the games. They just suck. I'd rather hear no US play by play and commentators. For example right now there's the French/Togo match on ESPN and the Swiss/Korean match on ESPN2. The play by play for the Swiss/Korean match is much better. Lastly, the US need to fire Arena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Alanfc Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 I love to watch it too. Although I tire of the drama/falling/diving/whining/acting from the players.. Do they realize how weak it looks.... like 1st grade girls or something. They do that in the Professional leagues in Europe too.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members whowasthursday Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 Bruce Arena has brought U.S. Soccer a long way... It might be time to move on, though. Julie Foudy -- I do agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members itstartsstoppin Posted June 23, 2006 Members Share Posted June 23, 2006 I absolutly love World Cup and Soccer. As far as the U.S. team goes Landon Donavon was a joke. I would have been more productive and i have not played competitvely since high school. From the first second of the first game to the potential game tying wide open shot that he passed up near the end of the Ghana game. He was supposed to be the big hero but he was aweful.
