julianw Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Oddly enough our professional men's league (MLS) has been doing well <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The stadiums are still largely empty in regular season games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baley Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I am too young to remember, but didn't US go to the final four in 94's World Cup(which I believe is hosted at US)? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Brazil,Sweden,Bulgaria and Italy did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderAndrew Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Oddly enough our professional men's league (MLS) has been doing well <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The stadiums are still largely empty in regular season games. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is a niche sport. Most start up sports leagues go belly-up in three years. The fact that the MLS is making a profit and continuing to exist when no one gave it a chance to succeed is noteworthy. Then again, there are NFL games and MLB games with empty stadiums as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Ooops, I misread your post Ender. It's late and my eyes are failing me. :cool: DENMARK!

They only got passed the group phase.( last 16) They reached the semifinals in 1930. And the quarterfinals in 2002. Edit:memory lapasus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julianw Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Must have confused it with year 2002. We did land on the moon in 69, right? Or was it the Russians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreides Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I love the game. IRL I play left forward and have been trying central midfield holding/distribution role. I try to be creative with passes into space and flicks/lobs/chips when I can and my pace can catch out tubby players. My biggest weakness is I can't head for nuts. I follow my team on EPL and keep updated on other leagues. Chelsea, Milan, Italy and Holland in that order. As for the US, it's highly doubtful that they'll win the WC but they should put in a solid performance like they did last time. Outside Freddy Adu I don't know if they have a creative force, but they do have the basics right and organisation. After seeing what Japan are capable of in the Confed Cup, I'm eager to see how they'll do. Under Zico their short passing is amazing - they manage to find space under the tightest pressuring with one almost perfect one-touch football. They just don't have a striker worthy of their buildup play. They'll struggle to create chances throughout the game and when they do they don't have someone to reliably get shots on target.

Delta Truth Posted September 9, 2005 Author Share Posted September 9, 2005 I'm sure Chelsea bought themselves the Premiership title again this year <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I don't hold with knocking Chelski. They do provide some interesting football on occasion. Newcastle for me though. Good team, good fans even if they do beat up mackhams whenever they find them. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Walsingham Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I don't hold out much hope. It depresses me to see what the celebrity of soccer, and teh money has done to the firey young man Owen once was. "It wasn't lies.

Atreides Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think Owen will do quite well at Newcastle since he'll be playing all he can get and people will try to give him the ball more. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atreides Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Lol @ gooners. It's way too early to throw in the towel but Chelsea already have some significant points between them and the rest of the table. I think that's the difference at Chelsea - get the results first and then build up form will come. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
