Most Underrated (or Overrated) Team?

most of US squad play in MLS, and those in Europe mainly sit on the substitute bench - and season starting in April is far better than just having finished a longer, more demanding season just weeks before the tournament

just get over it

a couple lucky results by USA and you're expecting to be labelled as one of the very top nations - just take a look around at the other countries and see who's better?

do you think you're better than Turkey? South Korea? Portugal? Mexico? Senegal? Nigeria? Japan?

get over it - you're good, but not that good

no i dont think we are the best in da world i just think we are underrated for the 1 millionth time and u dont know what ur talkin about all of the ppl i mentioned except cory gibbs started in the wrold cuo so ehh ehhm

I think EAS have got USA pretty much spot on they are one of the good underdog sides with a few key players but when used play better as a team to get results (y) as for the MLS :/ I think it is a little overated in the game but it does make the league more fun to play as if the players were worse the gameplay sux like in the Nationwaide leagues. They are underated Div 1 shud be as good as MLS or just a hint better.

Please no more banter about American teams beating English teams and saying they are good, I mean those are all in the pre-season all the players are not to ful fitness at all or have just come back from a pie eating holiday, I mean I watched Forest draw with Ajax earlier this year it does'nt mean were as good as them not even close its just about getting 90 minutes under their belts and vital experiance for the youngsters.

oh yeah and o'brein erm he plays for Ajax reserves, or on the bench I watch Dutch Footy on channel 5 and he's never playing, although i'd like him to play cause I like to see promising talent but then Ajax = best youth system in world

listen my friend. obrien has been hurt since the last champions league. thats y he doesnt play. and yes the games between premiership teams and mls teams, was a preseason match but the teams used there best and it couldnt be during the english offseason because it was in october. so players should be at full sitness. there is no excuse. ]

when john obrien was healthy he was a starter.

John O'brien is a great player. I can't believe ANYBODY would dispute that. If you don't like the USA for whatever reasons you have, so be it. But don't insult us by saying that certain players suck or are overrated when they are clearly great players (your true colors become clear).

erm where exactly did I say he was rubbish? when I have seen him play and come off the subs bench he has been pure quality, im just saying he does'nt play THAT often, and that even though hes a young promising talent The Ajax squad is full of talented youngsters so it must be a bit difficult for the lad to get some constant first team football.

I'm just voicing my opinions compared to the facts not going all anti-american like some in this thread

Mr Ben

oh yeah course I'm lying sorry john o'brien is rubbish and over rated then is that what you wanted me to say just so you could have another rant I dont watch every game on TV cuz they alternate from Ajax and PSV (Chelsea playgroup) in which games they televise, and oh what I saw of last season and some of this season I have seen him play several times and he's been a key player but hes only had 6 apperance this term. look heres some proof, and I know hes been injured but just look at the competition in the squad please. See what I mean

Korea should be better than just 2 and a half....yea they made it to the semis at WC2002 with a lil help from the refs...but still they are pretty damn good......maybe 3 or 3.5 for them...o yea in WC2002 Korea dominated the US.......lucky for the US it only ended in a draw game could have been 3-1 or 4-1


It also blows this game doesnt have the Netherlands or Japan in this game...damn EA too poor to afford their licenses....AGAIN

Well said!! Korea should be at least 3
We really did dominate USA match!!
Really surprised that this is coming from someone who supports Italy(?)
