I just never found much to like about US socca ... From their 'young stars' (like Adu, Altidore - or in the past, Hejduk or Donovan) to their hyped up 'We'll catch up the world eventually' slogan, I just never was reeled in. Oh well, maybe they'll eventually get it 'right' but as long as the major sports league (money wise) are the NBA, NHL, MLB & NFL - I doubt it will happen.

Most Overrated American Players of all time
1. Freddy Adu (sorry Glock)
2. Landon Donovan

Not a f#$!ing chance, Avy...

Donovan is top of that list by a f#$!ing mile.

And that buffoon Lalas is second.

Then Edu... Maybe.

NO WAY mate - Adu was being touted as the 'next Pele', the 'star' that would take the US to the next level. Adu was even on Glock's Top 10 list ahead of Rooney - and that is saying something.

Lalas wasn't that bad in Italy -

Adu is one of the most overhyped players ever.

uh huh ... although he'll probably have a solid career at Benfica and wherever else he moves to ...

All very true. I find myself in that familiar predicament of really wanting them to succeed but having to watch them play in fast forward.

Given that US soccer players are essentially the 4th tier of athletes in the country, as you pointed out, and are at the least competitive on the world stage, I can still stick one hypothetically grubby little finger in everyone else's eye.

You really think that Donovan is all hype? Maybe it's a case of being the big fish in a wimpy pond but most times I watch him play he has very good touch, good passing, is very quick on the dribble, and is a very cool character from the spot. His psychological constitution leaves something to be desired (particularly as a young 'un), but it's a bit harsh to say that he's just hype.

Why did he leave Germany? He could have made it there - he could perhaps have been a player the US could have really built their team around. Instead he left ...

It reminds me of Benayoun. He was at Ajax's youth school as a kid ... Left because he was homesick. Instead of staying in Israel, he left a few years later to Spain and the rest is history. Donovan can still do that but he needs to realize, if you stay in the US, your chances to be a really good player are as good as over.

The only thing I like about Donovan is his forehead.

Well it's no surprise that neither Reina nor Arby is playing.

Donovan makes me puke, the media here in the states, that worship him are even worse. Before the Confederation Cup began, that jack ass Lalas said something like any tournament that has players like Kaka, Torres, and Donovan is always gonna be special.

WTF?! What a joke.
 
Just mentioned in commentary that both Reina and Riera were injured in training. Riera's injury was with his hand, no idea with Reina.

Wow... nice attempt at a bicycle there.

Sergio Ramos is playing like shit thus far, defensively Spain have looked shaky.


Dempsey narrowly wide. Spain need to realize USA have come here to play.
