It's fine if it's not Mexico but American soccer needs someone to hate unconditionally.

hint: Rocky IV

Dos Santos and Fabian are mine. When at their best, incredible to watch.

Mexico is the USMNT's main rival and the nats are the only team I pay attention to. Therefore I am going to continue to hate El Tri's faces off.

I hate Mexico, and wish they didn't make it to the World Cup, but it is fun to own them, and see them advance. V good for CONCACAF. Gotta gun for a fifth bid at a future WC.

rus, here's one that always gets me and i thought i would ask you about it on here. i think your take may be interesting. did you know that fifa doesn't have a standard size field?

Law 1 – the field of play
Dimensions
The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line.

Length (touch line):
* minimum 90 m (100 yds)
* maximum 120 m (130 yds)

Width (goal line):
* minimum 45 m (50 yds)
* maximum 90 m (100 yds)

imagine if the nba/nfl had different court/field sizes at different stadiums

those should be the maximum numbers. the field is way too large

50-100 yards is a pretty wide range.

With regards to 3 vs 4 days of rest and HS teams playing 4 games in a w/e, I'd like to let you know that dobber jr is an elite soccer player and I just had an actual conversation with him and he said 3 vs 4 days rest won't matter. He also said that he gets tired in tournaments when they play ; games in 2 days, so Emo, IN YOUR FAT FACE!

Gonna win 'em all!

slobber · « **Reply #1863 on:** June 23, 2014, 06:59:18 PM »

That is supposed to say "4 games in 2 days"

Still...IN YOUR FAT FACE EMO!

Gonna win 'em all!

Also, I think the extra day and the heat matters. Pretty sure we all thought a few extra hours mattered in basketball in the recent past. (too soon?)

Gonna win 'em all!
