    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 except us to do something.
    Indeed. Season is still long btw considering that it started again few days back. I see Dinamo finishing first and a tight race between Steaua and CFR.

    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?
    Because it doesn't matter. Even without the youngsters starting, I still believe the team would beat Belgium, which is the point of this whole discussion.

    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.
    There absolutely is a soccer culture. Soccer is the most widely-played youth sport in the nation, and more and more people are starting to love the sport, the MLS and the NT.

    The genuine cluelessness you have regarding this country is frightening. Seriously spend some time over here or something.

    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
    Exactly. Well said.

    I would say it's the other way around. You don't know what football is in Europe. Football is not one of the sports a boy might choose to play over here, Andy. It's the only sport.

    I never said Belgium would beat the US. Andy tried to make it look like I did, but I didn't. My original statement didn't even have anything to do with it. But I did say, for the record, that the US would have a hard time beating Belgium.

    And that's an absolutely meaningless statement. Of course football is the only sport in Europe. Anybody who watches the Olympics would know that.

    Funny guy Boloni. He gave Cristiano Ronaldo his debut at Sporting:

    "But to be honest, you didn't really have to have that much vision to see the potential" :D.

    Still culture has nothing to do with it, maybe for inspiring younsters in the long run but I don't see it being a factor in the heat of a game.

    I don't really follow American football, but i do have to say i admire the talent the Belgians have. Eden Hazard, Moussa Dembele and Fellaini are all talented youngsters that are sure to have a future in the game. Eden Hazard in particular is an absolute joy to watch on his day. Still an unpolished gem, but he sure looks talented.
