It'll be a tough match but when the smoke clears off the pitch, I think the Brits will prevail.

Now if the University of Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy could throw a couple long passes...  8-)

Well, I'll be happy if the American side can advance out of the first stage and avoid a disaster like we had back in '06!  (Boy, THAT World Cup was ugly for us Yanks!)

Great team Lou and an inspired choice of manager. I didn't realise there was so many of us.

The Americans will have more choice on the bench though.

Thank you

I have just one question: Are we talking American football or soccer? A thought! Rugby to bring our Aussies and Kiwies in.

I just picked up on this thread.  Haven't seen anyone draft a USA team, so I'll kick it off (pun intended!).

Goal Keeper - Monte (because if he can hang on to the ball like he can hang onto a buck then nothing will get past him)

Right Side Full back - Semper Gumby volunteered for that one and even though he rides a Brit bike now and again, he's  an all American boy.

Left Side Full Back - Justin B - he's good at heading off the end runs and deflecting the ball

That's all I have for now.  Anyone else have any suggestions?

Soccer!! soccer is played only in America.....a girls game i believe.
Football (not Aussie rules rugby or the NFL) the beautiful game.I believe the Aussies used to play it.

All is not lost Mike Grella (NY) scored two cracking goals last night for Leeds United setting up a 2nd of January encounter with the old enemy Manchester United one to watch,that lad is impresive.

Ah its on a Saturday.  We only get the Premier League on Sunday at a local pizzaria after church.

I vote for Aïda for right striker if that is what RS stands for. Nobody would notice Aïda..she could sneak in and hide in the shadows of some defender and then sprint ahead and score with any luck avoiding an offside.

Our goalkeeper, if I may be so presumptuous being Canadian, I vote for me who knows how to avoid a speeding bullet. Just kidding!! A wee ball should be no problemo!
I want Nhmaf as my defender. He's got the size and the smarts and he plays saxophone to throw you Brits off your game.
I am thinkin of the rest.....going to dinner now.

Duh!! Avoiding a speeding ball is not the idea. Standing in front of a speeding ball and stopping it is!!! [smiley=embarassed.gif] [smiley=embarassed.gif] Opening for our North American side keeper!!

SO I was hungry! And temporarily demented!!

There is a bit of female logic there....... you could break a nail stopping the ball!!!
