Can you imagine Clint Dempsy as a hard hitting Strong Safety?

I've given this some thought. What if the game was 21 vs 21 and there were 5 balls in play? Think of the great schemes Snyder would come up with where 2 balls down the left were just a decoy for 2 balls down the right, which were just a decoy for the straight ahead sghetti brains ball right down the middle. Guaranteed to score one on every possession. Spread the field and then mash one in.

Gonna win 'em all!

what if america's best soccer players played football?

I assume martin gramatica could have been as good or better than messi

what if that's just nostalgia? it's a different game now

as a lifelong soccer superfan I can assure you I know exactly how different the game is with the rules and strategies and plays and the whole works. I already know all that.

If we lose, but Costa Rica (total pop 4.7 million) advances, that would be a big problem IMO

I almost have a heart attack any time I watch PKs and I am not terribly invested

It would be awesome if one of these games was really back and forth and the final score was 6-5. I'm sure purists would hate it but it sounds great to me.

the first half was, minus anyone being able to finish! very fun

that nigeria goalie is just buds with everyone, isn't he?

michigancat · « **Reply #3041 on:** June 30, 2014, 12:07:35 PM »

Looks like france is getting ready to do a roy williams-esque sub everyone to teach a lesson thing.
