yEAH WELL WHY WOULD THEY MENTION IT THEY LOST, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT UP IN THE FIRST PLACE HAD i HAVE KNOWN, NO ONE EXPECTED YOU TO WIN.

I think America will become a huge force in the world game in years to come, it's a much more politicly correct and enviromentaly friendly road to world domination. :P The U.S. did quite well to qualify for the world cup, it took australia about 30 years of trying before the got in.

Yeah I find it surprising the lack of interest for soccer in America

Hey, I watched a soccer game once. I got bored with it when one team built up an insurmountable lead over the other team. I think it was 1-0. :D

Yes, on the face of it it does look boring, but it's a bit like an arm wrestle the tension builds. Any sort of football or any elite sport for that matter doesn't need to be high scoring to be a tense exiting game, I'm sure that there have been many classic games of American football that have been low scoring,I mean if it's low scoring, then it has to be close so it can go either way so that adds to the theatre of the game.This is probably why there are so many riots at soccer matches, too much tension.

Yeah I find it surprising the lack of interest for soccer in America considering all the immigrants you have from central and south America , soccer being there national sport. I'd have thought it would have a pretty strong following in the southern states of America, plus with all the people of middle eastern origon living in the U.S. and such a huge overall population I would have thought America could field a very strong team with a huge fan base.

America beat Australia, so I don't want to talk about it anymore. :(
Yeah Darren it is soccer, we also call it that as we have 4 different codes of football. We like America invented our own code of football (Australian football league) so that no one else in the world could beat us. We also have rugby league, rugby union and soccer. I believe you have rugby union in Canada which is what the all blacks play, they are the national team. A.F.L. fans refer to this code as cross country boxing. American football is called gridiron over here, I see some retired A.F.L. players are starting to play in America as punter's (I think that's what you call them) Ben Grahams one and Sav Rocca. Are these guys any good at American football, when Ben played A.F.L. he could put the ball onto a guys chest from 50 metres.
You guys should get behind your national soccer team,their in the world cup it's a big thing that they have even qualified. 

It's a  friendly before the world cup.Never seen the pointy hat.

Australia is playing U.S.A. in football at Jo'burg South Africa in an hour. Haven't heard much about the American team , do they have much of a chance?
