Adu or Altidore?

[dalefreestyle]

Yes. We have established that both are excellent players.

wen i saw adu against england he was crap, any 1 can look gud playin football in america , some 1 whos in a wheel chair wud probably the leading goalscorer, football in england is the best that is where football belongs, that is where the passionis, english fans geet excited wen a game goes to extra time the americans get excited when the keeper does " a 50 yard half line belter kick"

they all say the game will be big now "bekham" has arived but the truth is "soccer" will never be half the standard in the mls as it is in the premier league

havant and fuckin waterloovil cud beat any mls team.

and that is why mls is as shit as curling

hey dalefreestyle, how come the US is ranked higher than England in the FIFA ranking? 

I don't see Beckham exactly tearing it up, and British soccer (played by brits) is ugly, technically poor, and lacking in creativity. I hate watching the Englisj national team play.

dales arguements are ignorant, but in answer to your question its easier for non european teams to get higher ranked because the level of play is less and fifa base rankings on what games they play. european standard is higher than north american, ergo those that dont perform in europe get a somewhat unfair reflection when compared to those who have lesser standard of competition.

lesser standard of competition does not equal brazil and argentina

wot r u on check out that england r 9 , usa are 22nd and we thrashed u thechnically the other week, im not being ingnorant english are gud at football americas good at american football , baseball etc. its just a basic fact

in the same way that qualification for the world cup is done with european teams facing off, north central and carribean american teams facing off, and that leads to it being harder to qualify for the world cup from europe (though there are more places due to the number of competing teams), the same is true for world rankings, fifa can only base on games that are played and the level of europe is much tougher than central north americas and the carribean.

I see where you are coming from, but I don't think it's too hard to have to play San Marino or Finland to be quite frankl.

I'm still waiting on Adu to be the figure head of U.S. soccer that he was supposed to become.  I always thought he was over hyped.  Go Altidore!  Very good move for him
