Hey guys Landon Donovan is nominated for 3 ESPYs this year. Vote for him by visiting the website of ESPN or you can vote again through the link on his facebook page.
the reason American Football is called football is because when the game first originated, there was a lot of kicking. That was one of the ways to advance the ball and score points (like rugby I guess).
@juaosouto rugby has the official name 'rugby football' - they are all various codes of football... soccer, nfl, rugby league and union, gaelic football, aussie rules etc all the different versions of games designed in schools with the premise that young men should have something to do that is organised team sports - stop the workers drinking in their spare time - instill the virtues of team sport, health and fitness and above all comoradery - togetherness, you might say they were weapons of war
The word soccer actually comes from the UK. Mid to late 19th century, soccer was a term used to describe "asSOCiation rules" football, while "rugger" was the term used to describe "rugby rules" football. The name of the game really isn't that important.
I dont think America really represents what these players are playing for.
They're not playing for a reason to boast like most Americans might think. I think people that only truley love this sport could tell they're plaaying as hard as they are for respect among a=toher countries. We've been made fun of forour ability for too long. I think they're all sick of it.
And heres a tip when dealing with most American comments on youtube: They're mainly made by people who have no idea what they're watching.
But they decide, hey I heard US beat/tied Argentina the other day and they're the number 1 team in the World. I guess we're number 1. And they decide to go to a youtube video or their friend and boast about it like they understood the situation. Just another way to build their image of the US.
Although America is getting good. We deserve that respect.
I know you know this, but I'll say it anyway: it's called soccer here because there is another infinitely more popular sport here also called "football" (for reasons surpassing understanding).
Anyways, get over it... we don't get all bent out of shape when Englishman do retarded things like call Santa Claus "Father Christmas."
Yeah, I've tried to think of what might be a better name for American Football, and I could only come up with "Smash Your Face Ball," but I think that's too long.
I don't agree dude. The name can give you info about what the sport is for people who never played that's about it.
But I agree it would make more sense to call it football and would solve a lot of problems i guess.
For the people that love it though they know what it's called all around the world and even though it's a different word its the same game and it shouldn't matter what the word is.
I stayed up untill 2:00 to watch the US play Nigeria at the Olympics. They led the group and only needed a tie or a win to advance. All I have to say is fuck that idiot on the US team who got red carded in the FOURTH minute for a dumbshit frustration foul.We played a man down the whole game because of that moron and are now out of the Olympics. At least it wasnt the World Cup though...Go USA
I love this sport more than anything in life. I live and die for football and i tried to watch every game I can of America. Even though we are not rank as one of the best and we still under perform against bigger teams (sometimes though, because we draw a hell of a game against Argentina) I believe that one day we can become a power house like Germany, Brazil, or Argentina.
rcde4ever, there is a difference between arrogance and fact......this is totally of topic now, and half of your arguments aren't factual and therefore have little legitimacy.
rcde did you say that the EU was a world power? Cause then you just lumped an assload of countries into one and when you do that you could make anyone a world power.
I don't know if you were directing this to me but if you were, i Am American and i love my country despite the fact that it is The US...
and as for thinking your country is the best, think what you want... most people think the same about their country, and the only time theyll say it is during sports or if your american during wars.... and everything else they are involved with
but if you say that so seriously, you sound really arrogant and make your country look bad
I don't really think that your American if you belief that we are arrogant, selfish, or any of those things. We are one of the best countries in the world and if it wasn't true then i wonder why so many people like to come here.
This is the only country in the world in where you can be anyone you want no matter who you are. tell me any other country you can do that.
so many people like from mexico, south america, and asia correct? And then the government tries to stop them from getting in.... and once they do get in they are persecuted by americans.
Listen to imdelightful he/she knows what theyre talking about, I am american
as for other countries
England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Canada.... etc etc, you prolly have never even been outside the US
England is such a bullshit: you never been there then, i have. if your parents aren't rich and don't send you to a good school to learn "high English" (is a form in which only rich people talk)you won't make it into a rich society and will have less job oportunities.
Japan is even worst, many of my friends are from there. from the moment you go to school you're already level in grades and if you mess in any grade then there goes your chances of a great college
I don't Know, China's military ended up dividing Korea..... come to think of it Why don't we take out real threats like North Korea and stop messing around with insurgents in Iraq? Heyyy...... we haven't beaten those insurgents yet..... or the Taliban who are back.... and Al Qaeda is still alive too... what about the Viet Cong or Those pesky rebels in Somalia?
I don't disagree with the American military being the best, but it doesnt make the US THE world power.....
Most poeple imply that because, you are free to be what you want and believe in whatever you want, and pursue any career you wish and have more freedoms than any other country....Where have you been?
I Believe the US MNT is one great team that believe in themself and that they aren't some individuals who tried to show off. We have a great team that goes out there and play with their heart not to win glory or show them self off but to win the respect that our team deserves.
wow, argentina had so many chances to win the game. if you guys just watched it, you'll agree. the u.s. is getting better i must agree. but if they are going to be as good as teams like argentina, its going to take a few decades, most likely more.
let me explain. argentina had 3 clear opportunities on goal. their finishing was horrible and tim howard or whatever his name is... was put in an easy to save those shots. maybe you should watch games before you make statements that aren't entirely true.
no no they lost to them remember 1-0 spain beat them
they also lost to england a team that hasnt qualified for the eurocup but ill give them the benefit of the doubt since england has a wicked master of a coach right now
I don't think anyone can really argue that claim. The Premier League in my opinion is the top flight in the world.
Champion's League this year really help that claim.
However, MLS has been improving its quality pretty consistently. No where near EPL level, but a top MLS team could probably rest in the mid\bottom table of the Premier.
msybe, but i hate watching the mls. there's no finess, and the ball keeps losing posetion easily. oh, and the names got to go. la galaxy? chicago fire? those are names that would be most suited for rec leagues.
Yeah but some of the teams they play are at the buttom of the table.And some us players will to play in the English second division, since their teams got relegated. ;)
lol yeah, that's why he jumps right up in his face... and then walks off. when he's standing right next to him looking up at Gooch, he reality dawned on him. Gooch would kill him.
Am I the only one who thinks coach Bradley is donig a great job. No more playing Trinidad and Tabago for 4 years untill the world cup. Next up England. Not to mention wins in Switzerland, Poland, and South Africa!
nah man I totally agree with you. this team is playing great. Donovan really stepped his game up, I feel like 2010 will be the year we at least advance past the qualifying stages into the bracket. 2006 was a huge dissapointment, but we will bounce back.. weve been playing world class talent and tying them, beating them, or giving them a hell of a fight (*see brazil)
Altador is a beast.. Dempsey is great, Gooch is solid, and timmy howard is back.. keller was garbage.
Everyone go out and support your MLS team. I just cant stand when people say, "the EPL, or La Liga is so much better than the MLS"... Of course it is! haha. There are hundreds of leagues in the world, the MLS is probably in the top 25. Why do we have to have the BEST league in order to support? Go out and sing some songs, have some drinks and enjoy the great sport. If soccer ever got big in the large warm american cities Miami,LA,New Orleans,Pheonix,etc..) we would find much more talent
I love my national team! Favorite player Brain McBride, to bad he's getting up their in age. Other than McBride it's gotta be Dempsey. I can't wait for the game against Poland. It'll be a good test to see how players like Micheal Bradely and Jozi play against another European team.
they have spain on june 4th. i cant wait for that game. that will be a huge test for us. if we win that i think the world will really start to respect us and accept us as a soccer nation.
Dempsey and Beasly are my favourite players on the USA team because i see them every week in the Premiership and SPL. They are very talented and both have great styles of soccer:) USA vrs Mexico is always great to watch!!!!
The sport is on the rise in the US. I'm from Michigan and all we do here is play hockey in winter and soccer when the snow melts. Hopefully they do well in 2010 i'll be watching MLS in the meantime.
impersonating birds -- didn't you say they fired the guns in the air in celebration ? I think what the poster was saying is that sport has a part to play in promoting peace -- I think that poster had a valid point.
It's great to see how football is developing in America and gaining popularity. You know, a national football team is really representing you around the world. If you do well, people will admire you for that, if you fail, you'll get made fun of. The rest of the world doesn't give a f*ck about baseball/basketball/American "Football" etc.
P.S.: please call it by it's real name, football that is.
Yo have a decent point, but soccer is a valid name for the sport. Its an English word, short for Association Football, which is what Football\Soccer is. Theres also Rugby Football, Austrialian Football, and American Football. Soccer came about because the English also had Rugby Football (rugger). Since then Rugby became the most used term world round but that doesn't negate the usage of soccer. Football is just the more common usage. A rose by any other name is still a rose.
Yeah, but to me (and many people) it just sounds like Americans want to have their own special words you know? Like they're different to the rest of the world even though it's exactly the same sport. And personally I hate the word soccer, but maybe that's just me ;) I still don't understand why it's called 'American football' when it looks much more like rugby; why not call it 'American rugby'? I guess I'm just thinking too much haha ;)
I am with LindavG on this. I too dislike the name soccer and always have. It is like giving that american sport top notch position. So-called 'soccer' is the only ball game which is played solely with feet and thereore deserves the name FOOTBALL. Furthermore, a BALL is round not that sausage shape thing rugby uses.
LindavG was spot on. "Soccer" as you call it is pure foot to ball.... no hands so let's give it the right name FOOTBALL... ---BILLIONS of poeple can't be wrong.
the English call it "chips" and we call them "fries" and nobody gives a crap or complains that we call them something different. see how ridiculous your argument sounds? it just gives people from other countries a reason to complain about us. only it makes you guys look kind of stupid. you DO realize that we've been calling it "soccer" for years and none of us living today actually named it that, right?
The US soccer players show so much more heart and grit than almost all of the pro players from US pro sports. Forget baseball & basketball (football's still pretty good), I'm watching soccer!
maybe be cuz this is a world wide thing and its natural to show heart in these sort of events. so i dont understand why you try to compare this to the pro sports IN the U.S.
I compare this to pro US sports because of things like the last olympics. Very few of our best NBA basketball players were willing to represent our country. The result, we placed third behind Italy and Argentina, in basketball! Also, even when the McBrides, Dempseys, Chings, and Onyewus are not playing for the US team, they show the same heart.
problem with the basketball team is they put an all-star team out there, not a "team" that has role players and that can win together, not see who can jump higher. if they put it back to U-20, we'd dominate easily.
yeah exactly, USA is with outa doubt the most talented coutnry in teh world when it comes to basketball, no other country even comes close. the very best players from other countries all try to make it in teh nba and the nba is still 90% american
kenny cooper, definetley not. hopefully we can have johnson and altidore at tip form by 2010 and we'll be sick and usa is gonna win da copa and da gold cup
I really hope one day US soccer team, and players will become a "football" nation, like in Europe or south america. Your country deserves a great football team ( and please forget "soccer", and rename your old dirty sport with something else lol
idk but he has so much potential and it seems like hes wasting it without mcbride we need him to be our top striker and besides i feel he has a better upside then twellman or ching
I think it was smart what if he broke his fucking leg and couldnt play anymore at 22 what would he fall back on and screw barcelona Liverpool beat them lol
i love watching him too, but he's good without Europe? he was probably our most disappointing player in the World Cup. i'm a big donovan fan - i'm not picking on him. i like him and think he's valuable, so i want him to be the best he can be for our national team. the MLS just isn't doing it.
Onyewu is a fuckin pussy, he didnt stare borgetti down....plus Onyewu tries act like hes a thug only cuz borgetti is a skinny player..Onyewu wouldn't stare Cuauhtemoc Blanco down cuz he grew up from the streets, true thug.
You do realize the USA is playing in the Copa America this year right? More than likely this will also lead to an invite to the 2009 Copa. If you want powerhouses, you got it. Not to mention the USA will most likely be participating in the Confederations Cup (depending onhow they do in either the Gold Cup or Copa)
I was in Germany when the US played the Germans in the 2002 World Cup. Pretty much everything shut down that day and they had huge screens in the street with everybody off work that day watching it. Even though we lost it was a great time spent with the Germans drinking their beer. I look forward to great things in 2010 and hope we at least get to the finals... We have alot of work to do but we can make it a reality...
Great vid! It would be nice to see a CONCACAF team win the WC one day so that this part of the world can get some respect. For US success in 2010 we badly need quality strikers that can beat defenders 1 on 1 and attacking midfielders that can individually unlock defenses and create scoring opportunities. WC '06 we had possession but nothing to show for it. Defense and keepers are our strong points and will get the job done along side a pacy and creative offense.
And majority of US don't like this ?

lol yeah, that's why he jumps right up in his face... and then walks off. when he's standing right next to him looking up at Gooch, he reality dawned on him. Gooch would kill him.

nah man I totally agree with you. this team is playing great. Donovan really stepped his game up, I feel like 2010 will be the year we at least advance past the qualifying stages into the bracket. 2006 was a huge dissapointment, but we will bounce back.. weve been playing world class talent and tying them, beating them, or giving them a hell of a fight (*see brazil)
Altador is a beast.. Dempsey is great, Gooch is solid, and timmy howard is back.. keller was garbage.
pcongiusta 3 years ago 2
Keller was great in his day but he's getting old and his reaction seems to be slowing. he's definitely done with the Nats. Howard is the man.
ps - it's Altidore, not Altador.

Everyone go out and support your MLS team. I just cant stand when people say, "the EPL, or La Liga is so much better than the MLS"... Of course it is! haha. There are hundreds of leagues in the world, the MLS is probably in the top 25. Why do we have to have the BEST league in order to support? Go out and sing some songs, have some drinks and enjoy the great sport. If soccer ever got big in the large warm american cities Miami,LA,New Orleans,Pheonix,etc..) we would find much more talent

I love my national team! Favorite player Brain McBride, to bad he's getting up their in age. Other than McBride it's gotta be Dempsey. I can't wait for the game against Poland. It'll be a good test to see how players like Micheal Bradely and Jozi play against another European team.

they have spain on june 4th. i cant wait for that game. that will be a huge test for us. if we win that i think the world will really start to respect us and accept us as a soccer nation.
trj107 4 years ago
But you won't win. Sorry to break it to you. Your only chance is for Arogonnes to field a weak team in preparation for EuroCup.
Good luck though, you'll need it as Spain is fantastic when not in pressure games.
Against England though you got a chance. They are slow!

Football can stop wars. In Iraq the people were celebrating as one when their team became Asian Champs. That's what a sport can do.
LindavG 4 years ago 2
Didn't several people die in those celebrations from men firing machine guns in the air and the bullets raining down on them?
Jimmybangkok 4 years ago
If any people died then they must have been
impersonating birds -- didn't you say they fired the guns in the air in celebration ? I think what the poster was saying is that sport has a part to play in promoting peace -- I think that poster had a valid point.

It's great to see how football is developing in America and gaining popularity. You know, a national football team is really representing you around the world. If you do well, people will admire you for that, if you fail, you'll get made fun of. The rest of the world doesn't give a f*ck about baseball/basketball/American "Football" etc.
P.S.: please call it by it's real name, football that is.
LindavG 4 years ago 2
Yo have a decent point, but soccer is a valid name for the sport. Its an English word, short for Association Football, which is what Football\Soccer is. Theres also Rugby Football, Austrialian Football, and American Football. Soccer came about because the English also had Rugby Football (rugger). Since then Rugby became the most used term world round but that doesn't negate the usage of soccer. Football is just the more common usage. A rose by any other name is still a rose.
phynet 4 years ago 2
Yeah, but to me (and many people) it just sounds like Americans want to have their own special words you know? Like they're different to the rest of the world even though it's exactly the same sport. And personally I hate the word soccer, but maybe that's just me ;) I still don't understand why it's called 'American football' when it looks much more like rugby; why not call it 'American rugby'? I guess I'm just thinking too much haha ;)
LindavG 4 years ago
what phynet said ^
WalterKarlHungus 4 years ago
I am with LindavG on this. I too dislike the name soccer and always have. It is like giving that american sport top notch position. So-called 'soccer' is the only ball game which is played solely with feet and thereore deserves the name FOOTBALL. Furthermore, a BALL is round not that sausage shape thing rugby uses.
ChromeRed 4 years ago
Yeah but why not call a rose "rose"....
Tennis is also an English word, LOL
LindavG was spot on. "Soccer" as you call it is pure foot to ball.... no hands so let's give it the right name FOOTBALL... ---BILLIONS of poeple can't be wrong.
ChromeRed 4 years ago
the English call it "chips" and we call them "fries" and nobody gives a crap or complains that we call them something different. see how ridiculous your argument sounds? it just gives people from other countries a reason to complain about us. only it makes you guys look kind of stupid. you DO realize that we've been calling it "soccer" for years and none of us living today actually named it that, right?
kate104 3 years ago

The US soccer players show so much more heart and grit than almost all of the pro players from US pro sports. Forget baseball & basketball (football's still pretty good), I'm watching soccer!
beenierock1 4 years ago
maybe be cuz this is a world wide thing and its natural to show heart in these sort of events. so i dont understand why you try to compare this to the pro sports IN the U.S.
KiNgToNgAIII 4 years ago
I compare this to pro US sports because of things like the last olympics. Very few of our best NBA basketball players were willing to represent our country. The result, we placed third behind Italy and Argentina, in basketball! Also, even when the McBrides, Dempseys, Chings, and Onyewus are not playing for the US team, they show the same heart.
beenierock1 4 years ago
problem with the basketball team is they put an all-star team out there, not a "team" that has role players and that can win together, not see who can jump higher. if they put it back to U-20, we'd dominate easily.
boxellmark27 4 years ago

I was in Germany when the US played the Germans in the 2002 World Cup. Pretty much everything shut down that day and they had huge screens in the street with everybody off work that day watching it. Even though we lost it was a great time spent with the Germans drinking their beer. I look forward to great things in 2010 and hope we at least get to the finals... We have alot of work to do but we can make it a reality...
RaggaRasta 5 years ago
Great vid! It would be nice to see a CONCACAF team win the WC one day so that this part of the world can get some respect. For US success in 2010 we badly need quality strikers that can beat defenders 1 on 1 and attacking midfielders that can individually unlock defenses and create scoring opportunities. WC '06 we had possession but nothing to show for it. Defense and keepers are our strong points and will get the job done along side a pacy and creative offense.
