Re: Strength of US Men's Football/Soccer??

I will use the word football but for Americans I mean soccer. US beat a weak Norway team the other day 5-0 in a friendly with some of the better US players playing for European clubs.
I have not been keeping up with football lately but for World Cup, is England the current favorite or is Brazil the default favorite? Whoever it is I can't wait for it to start. I was in Germany over the winter and saw slight signs around the country of the World Cup preparations and was sad I will not be there for the tournament.
I honestly think the World Cup blows the crappy Super Bowl out of the water. I realize being an American I am a minority in this regards but when talking world champions, Superbowl is still an American affair though other countries may watch, but World Cup is the most awesome sporting spectacle, or a close second to the Summer Olympics (Winter Olympics are weak haha). |
Norway was not a good opponent. Mexico beat them with their bench too, 2-1. Close match and physical. Let's be honest, boring as hell as well.
Anyway, I saw part of the US vs Norway match. I still don't like their style. So I switched the channel. My guess is Norway wasn't that motivated during these friendly matches. Norway is not preparing for the WC and no real effort is put in.
I really don't know how they, US of A, will perform in the WC. They are in a difficult group. As I've said before, my guess is Czech Republic and Italy will go on to the second round and the US won't.
And the World Cup is not second to the Summer Olympics or anything else. No offense to the other events and sports but football is the most beautiful of sports and the WC will remain the number one event forever, even when men play against robots. Period.
