TEAM AMERICA: World Cup

Oh I had forgotten about the "Olympics is more prestigious than the world cup" thing you're trying. No, it's not. You ask literally any footballer which they'd rather win and you'll get a 100% response for the world cup. A major reason being that it's limited to the u23 age group (with three over 23 players allowed), so it's basically just another youth tournament.
I don't care what any soccer player/fan thinks....I personally would rather see a Gold Medal than a WC world cup. (of course, maybe the fact that the US has no real shot at it is a factor).
And, since as you say the Olympic tournament is nothing but a youth tournament, (I did not know that) I propose that they eliminate soccer as an Olympic Sport. The IOCs reasoning for taking baseball out of the Olympics is because the very best baseball players could not participate due to the regular baseball season conflicting with the baseball schedule. The same should apply to soccer as well. If soccer would send its best to the Olympics, then that tournament, in my mind, would supersede the WC.
Oh, by the way schmekelheads, trying to put me down because you say I don't know about certain esoteric aspects of the game of soccer, or how they run their tournament is NOT, to me a criticism at all. In fact, it is somewhat a badge of honor. It is like criticizing me for not knowing the nuances concerning the methods of cooking and flavoring Liver and Onions. I don't care because I don't like it that well. Bottom line, you can put lipstick on a pig...it is still a pig.
I will watch some soccer, expecially games involving the US. I will probably hope that some upstart wins. I think it would be boring as fuck to have Brazil win the tournament. The USA won't....so how about England. For your sake gft I will be all behind the Brits winning it (though I guess it is not "the Brits"....since "Brits" includes the Scotch and Welsh no?).
Or how about Uruguay?
Wouldn't that be a kick in the ass for Brazilian pride for Uruguay to win.

IIRC, Uruguay had a deep run last WC, final four I think. Forlan was a beast.

They beat Ghana on penalties in a very controversial match. Luis Suarez stopped a goal using his hand in the last minute. Penalty, red card, up steps Asamoah Gyan, who sends the ball over. Extra time over, penalty shoot out, which Uruguay win. Everyone condemned Suarez, shortly before everyone said they'd do exactly the same if they were in that position.

Here at The Browns Board, we have looked at the ever-evolving demographics and realized it is time to embrace soccer, and, specifically, the World Cup.
So we have set up a discussion room where you can discuss all of the ins and outs of exciting World Cup play and Soccer News.

OK, but answer honestly....what kind of kick in the ass would it be for Uruguay to win on Brazil soil? Or perhaps better yet: Argentina. What would be more embarassing?

Why the fuck would you talk about soccer on a Brown's football board? Good God!!!
Didn't you know that soccer was introduced to the US of A, by God, by the communists in order to pussify young American males? They are trying to take over our country and you fucks are falling for it.

I'll watch it hopefully without 75000 Vulva horns humming in the background

So God's a communist?

I never thought I'd see the day.
I'm glad some of you (or at least the admin) have come around. It's the biggest and most prestigious sporting event in the World which our national team (this should be reason enough to tune in) is participating in.
I mean how many random ass sports have you watched in the Olympics (Summer and especially Winter) just to root for Team USA?

yea, right. professional soccer in the USA is ranked beneath bowling and badminton in sports tv viewership. the pussification of american males can be attributed in part to the continued invasive marketing of a technology that brainwashes it users into thinking they can't live withouts it gadgets like that ipad in your pocket or your smart phone attached to your big ear.

Uruguary, without any doubt in my mind, because of the Maracanazo and the effect it still has on the team. The best possible scenario for Brazil at the world cup would be to play Uruguay in the final and beat them.
