American football fans do.

Which automatically makes you incorrect.

Only Belgians and their surrounding neighbors care about the Belgian League, too. So both are similar in that respect.
You're missing the point. In Belgium there is no escaping from Belgian football. That is hardly the case in America. Or are they talking about the MLS if you walk into your local grocery store?

Depends on where you go. In the middle of hick town, of course nobody is.

But that doesn't prove anything about playing on a football pitch.

Altidore, Szetela, Bradley, Adu, Rogers, Wynne, others...
Edu, Pearce, Johnson, Kljestan....
I saw you guys play a few times last year and I was impressed. Belgium has a lot of young talent. I don't think anyone is denying that. At least I am not.

At the same time I wouldn't underestimate US soccer(we don't play football). A lot of teams have underestimated the US NT at times and usually end up paying the price.
Portugal '02
Correction we did beat Sweden. The week before we beat Mexico.
That's what he is saying....
Yeah, but I meant that, if it is so easy to beat Belgium, you must be able to beat Spain as well.
That makes no sense, if you can drive a bike and that's easy, you must also be able to drive a ship?

You asked how many had full caps, I responded. I have acknowledged your question.

I know that Bradley doesn't play them much, you've seen me criticize him for that, so what's the deal?
Now you're just trying to win an argument by avoiding the point.

The question was rather sarcastic. But you chose to answer it literally. That's your fault. Of course younger players have played for the NT once or twice for a few minutes or against Kazakstan. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's helpfull experience and that doesn't exactly make them ready to play Argentina (remember the Copa), a lesson Bradley still has yet to learn.

If you agree with my point then why try evading it with bullheaded argument?

    What do you think, Becalli will sell Steaua? Or it's his usual bla bla?

    that man is like weather, changes his opinion in every day, but i watched him speak in a sport show saturday..and said that he will not sell the club, so the rumours are invented. But if the ultras will keep that chanting and bashing..he will have to quit..

    You could go anywhere in Belgium and you'd still hear about Standard.

    Andy said the US would easily beat Belgium. Spain only managed a 2-1 win. So you definitely should be able to take Spain.

    But you're sitting here, a Juventus, fan also repping a sub-standard league. How are you different from Andy?
    I'm not repping the league. I say no one really cares about the MLS in America. You have fewer people watching soccer than you have people watching football. In Belgium soccer is the number one sport. That's the reason there is no real American soccer culture and that's the reason why it's difficult for you guys to beat Belgium.

    eeh rab...don't throw yourself...they played with a shitty pandurii...it will be an interesting championship no doubt...but i cannot find a certain favourite: dinamo has a good team so does cfr cluj...if timisoara will get those 6 points that they lost in the court they will be close too, then there's steaua, we cannot be left aside, always dangerous when nobody expect us to do something.
    btw...becali:"there are 20 peasants that are against me and they are forcing the children in the stadium stands to curse me, 95% of the fans love me!"

    I'm sorry but this doesn't even go half way to explianing why Belgium would beat the US. For the players this is their profession and they'd put in just as much as the belgians would.
    Culture doesn't matte,r it's the players otherwise Italy would have won 12-0 in WC06
