Nice! I hope they get the gold they deserve it! Kinda bummed that south korea lost but this will make it up

 

Yay! Go USA! Oh wait! You said Iraq?

What's with you and S. Korea?

 

lol I'm multi cultural yella! Everyone think im Hispanic, italian, when I'm actually a bunch of stuff including german, sweedish, korean etc. Go south korea!!

 

Uh, so what's with you and Korea? You should be cheering for USA! I'm also multi, but I cheer for the Bush's dictatorship country.

 

yes the best nation in the world but boo on the dream team!! Go lith!

 

Kinda surprising with the little time thaty had to prepare compared to other teams

 

Actually, that's all those lil runts do, play soccer.

 

How good do you guys think the American team would be if we focused the same amount of energy into soccer as we do baseball / basketball / football?

No cracks about the Mens basketball loosing, but seriously I think we would be top 3 in the world, at a sport that everyone in the world plays fanatically.

 

I'm sure everyone involved with the US mens and womens soccer teams (coaches, players, fans, sponsors, etc.) are content with mediocrity.

It's hard to be the best at everything all the time. It's even harder to stay the best. Even the current US men's basketball team is not the best in the world.

That being said, I've really enjoyed watching the Iraqi soccer team compete in this Olympics.

 

I too was initially excited to hear about the Iraqi soccer team. . . until I started reading some of their comments about the United States. These ungrateful little bitches were complaining about the current situation in Iraq, and blaming the United States for fighting in Najaf. One player was quoted as saying that if he were back in Iraq, he'd be fighting the Marines himself. OK, you know, I can understand some criticism of the situation, but these ungrateful bastards would have faced jail, torture, or death if they came back to Iraq without a medal, under the old Uday-run system. The United States is pretty much the only reason these assholes aren't in some godforsaken Iraqi jail for losing a qualifier. Ridiculous, if you ask me. Screw them.
