and NBA interest is declining

and NBA interest is declining

you can be no further from the truth. Attendance is up, ratings are up, revenue is up,and jersey sales are up.

its too bad i was hoping this wc would spark interest. After that display of all that is wrong with soccer in the usa game, soccer in the usa will be set back [again] 4 years or more.

 

[Akillies]

when did soccer disentigrate into an acting exhibition and officiating baiting demonstration?

 

[2PLAYSMAX]

I think this lousy performance will inspire a few young players now to step their game up for next cup. That team's performance alone in 2010 cup will draw US attention back in.

right, and most of the playoffs are on TNT. Please

The NBA wants nothing more them to have a national contract with a major network. Not there, is it?

Its been a gradual transformation over the last 10 years into the sorry debacle that you see today.

it's a joke


that penalty kick on a horrible call is worth something like 25 points in an NFL game. It was the game, set, match, elimination

you can't make enough bad calls in an NBA game that would be the equivalent of that freakn joke.

ucking:

I have thoroughly enjoyed this world cup but all of the flopping and acting definitely needs to be curbed. I mean they carry guys off on a stretcher only to have them come back into the game 1 minute later. More yellows to need to be given for diving

 

[Dante]

YEP TOTALLY SLANTED anti USA

the refs where NOT going to let USA get to the second round that was a given

 

[LivingOffGamblingMoney]

Ghana players stated they were willing to die for the soccer game.

I dont think we felt that way.

Brazil 3 Ghana 1

thanks Duckman

 

[SkinsRaj28]

Do you really think anything's gonna be changed because some disgruntled americans don't like the way the game is played or officiated? Fuck no. This is the world's sport, and 95% of Americans don't even care about soccer. The rest, like us, follow during the WC, and that's about it. Not even 1% of the U.S. population REALLY cares about the American soccer team.

This is the way the game has been played forever. It's not changing anytime soon.

 

[Puccini]

The fact is the US scored a grand total of 1 goal in three matches. I was rooting (and betting) on them, but I just don't think they deserved to move on, even though their performance against Italy was gutsy and compelling.

Even without the penalty kick today the US would only have tied--and still been out.

It's too bad that practially every major sporting event nowadays (Super Bowl, NBA finals, etc...) seems to devolve into a "kill the ump" screamfest.

 

[LivingOffGamblingMoney]

Being played every 4 years doesnt help either. Half the Ghana soccer team wont be back courtesy of aids and other diseases! Ouch!!

 

[Duckstabber]

No problem, Dante. :toast:
