US Soccer intend to launch World Cup bid

oh man i hope we get it!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO they only thing that will help the us be a better country but not fast enough since i wanna live in europe

I'm English and would love to see it happen in England, but all credit to The U.S.A. if they get it again. The 1994 World Cup was excellent. They certainly know how to put on a good show.

BRING IT HOME TO WEMBLEY. its called the FIFA world cup not the FISA world cup- the latinos already have the world cup in 2014 dont be so freakin greedy!!

why not let the following countries co-host the world cup...........

Afghanistan - the Taliban can provide the snacks with poppy seed cookies and cakes.......

Pakistan - American fighter jets will give fly-passes on their way to bombing missions.......

Iran - Israeli and Iranian jets and missiles can provide the pre-match fireworks..........

Iraq - those roadside bombs should ensure team buses will bring players to the matches on time.........

Gaza - Israeli tanks will escort team buses and TV crew can use the attack choppers too..........

US should wait at least until they figure out what the name of the sport is.

Every final od the football world championship should be played at Wembley

The Americans don't deserve this.It would be a disaster.How can you host the biggest tournement in the world in a country that doesn't even call the game by its proper name? They should just be grateful that they were allowed it in 94.

As for England getting it... the only reason they want it - is so they can cheat like they did when they won their 1&only Cup way back in 66. lmao

Tonto

107,000 seat stadium for a university ?!

BTW, you sure you'll still be around to watch it ? LOL...................

Wembley ??? to hell with that over-glorified stadium...........

i don't think the English can win even with all the cheating they can come up with.............

their best chance was way back in 1990.........

well, one says Wembley and doesn't need to explain anything else. The story completed. It is the same if one says San Siro or Marakana or Old Traford....

If one mentioned University stadium somwhere in PA, well, it will be a lot explain to do; what football? line across thr field? where? ....soccer? ....a lot

ITalkNonsense,

The average attendance for the tournament was 69,000 while the total attendance was 3.6 million. The 1994 World Cup holds the record for the highest attendance in World Cup history. It was also the highest-attended single sport event in United States history.

America did a fantastic job last time, why shouldn't they be given the chance again.

As for it being fixed when England won it, I was there mate. nothing could be further from the truth.

In July 1966 England had to play their hearts out to win one of the greatest finals ever. Germany were beaten good and proper in the end after a controversy over one of England's goals.

It just shows how much you don't know doesn't it?

Controversial third England goal in extra time

With eleven minutes of extra time gone, Alan Ball put in a cross and Geoff Hurst shot from close range hit the underside of the cross bar, bounced down - apparently on or just over the line - and was cleared.[3] The referee Gottfried Dienst was uncertain if had been a goal and consulted his linesman, Tofik Bakhramov from the USSR, who in a moment of drama indicated that it was. After non-verbal communication, as they had no common language, the Swiss referee awarded the goal to the home team. The crowd and the audience of 400 million television viewers were left arguing whether the goal should have been given or not.

England's third goal has remained controversial ever since the match. According to the Laws of the Game the definition of a goal is when the whole of the ball passes over the goal line [2].

In England, supporters cite the good position of the linesman and the statement of Roger Hunt, the nearest England player to the ball, who claimed it was a goal and that was why he wheeled away in celebration rather than tapping the rebounding ball in.

German supporters cite the possible bias of the Soviet linesman (Bakhramov was from Azerbaijan), especially as the USSR had just been defeated in the semi-finals by West Germany. Bakhramov later stated in his memoirs that he believed the ball had bounced back not from the crossbar, but from the net and that he was not able to observe the rest of the scene, so it did not matter where the ball hit the ground anyway. When Bakhramov was asked on his deathbed how could he be sure the third goal had crossed the line, he was alleged to have replied 'Stalingrad'.[4] Swiss referee Gottfried Dienst, otherwise regarded as the best referee, did not see the scene.

phughes699 was writing ITalkShit before he started writing his garbage... Now he's moved on to ITalkNonsense.We ALL know YOU do.So there's no need to tell us anymore.Just get straight into your rubbish from now on.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged" Some people wouldn't know if they were up to there neck in cow manure...

BesTalentScout,

As the coppers say in England "Evening all"

Yes I am a teacher, here in Bangkok. All my work is private now. It's interesting, to say the least and as I said before some students are great and want to learn and others make life very difficult, But I try my best with all of them.

I have been here many years now. it certainly beats them cold chilly mornings, scraping the ice off the windscreen.

Tu madre es una puta. Is that correct hollyice?

lmao

My backyard, St. Paul Minnesota, you want to talk about old, go see the latest Clint Eastwood movie "Grand Torino", Detroit gave the movie company so they say, a tax break for the movie but it was written by a guy in the Twin Cities, Minneapolis St. Paul and Clint Eastwood plays an older man. Anyway, a lot in that movie is real familiar as the guy helps out the Hmong, who I know real well and Clint's got a Polish last name like mine oh and the barber in the movie is Italian. Kind of a feel good movie, everyone should see it. Those Hmong, I go to their sports festival every year and watch the soccer/football games mainly but they've got a lot of other sports they play, top spin which is kind of like bowling with a top and lots of things.Enough of that.
