Beckham battering Donovan

[Adi]

He was just that last season. He didn't do anything and his team finished around the bottom of the table. Were it the European system, his team would've been relegated.

He's had a good few games this season but it's still too early to tell how well he'll play.

Beckham is a little above average in the MLS.  He certainly doesn't dominate games.  You been watching?  He just doesn't fit in here.  He needs to be surrounded by players who can play the game.

Little above average? I've watched loads of games of him playing in the MLS, he looks miles better than everyone else....Sorry, he didn't dribble and shoot and score like the US craves from every player on the "field".

I have never seen him dribble the ball in his whole career.

"He didn't do anything"? What lingo are you speaking? I'm sorry, you have to score loads of goals or tackle really hard to be a good player in the US, I forgot about that. Beckham looks on a different level to every single player in the MLS everytime he plays.

Oh and crap omar, he doesn't dribble because dribbling isn't his game. I brought up dribbling because Americans don't understand the aspects of the game very well. The US doesn't seem to value people unless they shoot really hard, dribble really fast or tackle hard. I guess its just your culture though.....maybe stick to watching the NFL..you get that game, man. GO CHIEFS!

I have no hate for the US. I think it is a fantastic country which I myself have lived in. Its just, for the most part, US football fans really struggle with their idea of the game...and have zero banter.

it varies. it has been very much the "cool" thing to do for the past few years. these are the same people that are "too good" for american soccer

Been drinking quite a bit haven't you, Plaxico? I remember you as a lot more intelligent before. Maybe I was naive.

Americans don't understand the aspects of the game very well.

The US has had a league for a little over a decade really. And already players like Onyewu, Adu, Bradley, Dempsey, McBride, etc. have/are playing for top/decent teams in Europe. Who would have thought that Americans (of all people, those filthy, disguisting people) would go as far as to being picked up by AC Milan or Benfica.

It's only a matter of time really. It's no surprise we aren't as savvy when it comes to soccer as the rest of the world. We can dominate our continent, no big deal. But as time continues to tick and we continually grasp the concepts of the game, it's really only a matter of time before we actually are consistent. I'm sure this is scaring you, KingNuts, so you're trying to get as much insulting of our country done as possible, and I accept that. In fact, there's not much I can say about Americans right now. But the inevitable will soon catch up to you and bite you in the ass :lol:

I am right that the majority of American football fans are way behind Europeans in understanding the aspects of the game. I will also be right when I say that I don't care how many of USA's average players are scatterd across average teams in Europe (bar AC Milan I guess, although I don't see Oneyweewewwe playing really), you will not produce a player close to the top players at the top internatioal teams. Not in 50 years will the US have a player as good as Kaka, Messi, Ronaldo, Xavi, Rooney etc....probably not in 100 years...will not happen.

what about Crouch?

I'm gonna read a little into this:

you're pissed off that america has outstripped Britain, or wherever the fuck you're from in everything else that they do, be it world affairs, sports, or...anything except for cricket to be honest...and therefore you're clinging to the groundless notion that no american (bloody yanks!) could possibly, possibly be as good a soccer player as Messi or Ronaldo, or whoever. I'm sure it also chafes that the USA has been making strides in soccer and is improving at a fairly steady pace, whereas your country remains in limbo as a good team that rarely actually wins anything (1966 pride). You see this kind of sentiment everywhere, actually. It's laughable, really.

Enjoy your cricket, because pretty soon it'll be all you'll have left  :cheers:
