So do we still suck at soccer or are we going to win something?
Let me know when we don't suck anymore. I'd like to care.

Are you saying that if we don't win the World Cup, we suck?
You realize that there is a middle ground, right? We are best in CONCACAF and can have won the Gold Cup.

Who was the last CONCACAF team to win the World Cup? How about the last runner-up?

CONCACAF is the equivalent to MEAC in I-AA.

Was thinking more like OVC. Oceania is the MEAC or SWAC.

Depth wise, I would put the Federation rankings like this:
UEFA (Europe)
CONMEBOL (South America)
CONCACAF (North and Central America)
CAF (Africa)
AFC (Asia)
OFC (Oceania)
UEFA and CONMEBOL are well ahead of everyone else and CONCACAF and CAF are close but CONCACAF has been better (traditionally more teams out of the group stage) with AFC slightly behind and another big drop to OFC.

Thw Eagles haven't won dick in your lifetime, but you still seem to care about them.

Meh, it's arguing who is king of the dorks. Isn't the US the only CONCACAF team to make the semifinals... in 1930?

The sooner the US loses the sooner we can put all of this soccer talk behind us and get on to talking about real sports.

Well, after the World Cup is done we'll have baseball and....
Do tennis and golf count as real sports?

Maybe he will criticize his ex-teammates like that female soccer player did when she pissed off that nutjob goalie (can't remember the names).

Donovan has to be better than that blowhard Wynalda. I don't even know if he is announcing games at the World Cup, but if he is I will be putting the TV on mute like I always do. He just ruins it for me. As does Alexi Lalas.
