heywoodu 13,504 Posted March 26, 2016 #51 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Why is it impossible to find video footage of the foul that led to the penalty for Colombia? Apparently there's quite a bit of fuss about it being nothing but a dive.. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I think the same about our teams in mens water polo or mens rugby, but they really wouldve been chanceless in Rio, your mens football team probably wouldnt have advanced to the next round, but i think they at least wouldve been a worthy opponent for the other teams. I think your problem is that you play with too many players who grew up in Europe, you should try to "create" your own talents and your second problem is that your league is too weak, your homegrown players cant play at the highest level. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

American Soccer is mostly pretenders, they cant win away in qualifying (3-0 loss to guatemala!!!) they cant win the big one in the world cup. We have a team who will make it tough for big names, maybe get one big win (almost beat portugal) but when it comes to money time like Belgium in the second round in brazil, the americans simply cant win (and even worse is the loss to ghana 4 years before that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
