You know what, i do believe i'm more qualified than most people on this site when it comes to Football, because i used to play for a former Bundesliga (now 2nd Bundesliga) team until i was 16 and could have become a pro player, if i didn't decide to go to high school in the US and focus on my education. I've been living, breathing, and PLAYING this fucking game for over 20 years. You don't see me come into threads about American Football or Basketball and try to school people on the subjects, because then I would be the delusionary hypocrite. Im not here to talk shit, but give you a somewhat objective point of view. Objectively, the USA and Mexico are in one of the lower tiers of Football and that is FACT, not hating. Please just be real on the subject and admit that the US, as the great sports country it is, has talent and prospects, but at the end of the day, they havent done shit, won shit or impacted Football as much as you think.
and this is just plain wrong :
USA,Mexico,Honduras,Costa Rica>Australia, Japan, Korea's, Iran, Saudi Arabia
I see those teams on the same level right now. Australia, Japan, Korea and Iran are really not to be underestimated and defnitiely NOT much worse, if even, than USA, Mexico or Honduras.
You guys should be lucky that you don't have to face Brasil, Chile, Uruguay or Argentine in the qualifiers, otherwise your appearances in the WC would be close to none.
