    The ANTI-LITTLER-COALITION has already been formed!

    The PDC World Championship wil have its FINAL FIGHT, in the Alexandra Palace (= "Ally Pally"), in London (England)!

    Judd TRUMP (England) has a lot to say, about his fight for WORLD DOMINATON!

  2. Stop it Alexis… USA sucks and we need to admit that so we can get better. We try to expand to Spanish background players and European players and we pick out the worst. We suck period

  3. Most US Fans feel quarterfinals at a minimum. Host nations in the past have outperformed their level, and the US usually gets knocked out in the round of 16.

    The second we face a true contender like Spain or Argentina, we're going out.

  4. I'm giving props. Colin really doesn't know a whole lot about the sport. But at least he's trying. It's more than I can stay for anybody else in that studio outside of the soccer world.

  5. To have an american world cup in football that may not have italy or ireland makes your world cup next year a lesser event

    In 1994, by far the most impactful game in usa 1994, was ireland playing italy in new jersey, its the only game in usa 1994, where americans saw the power of football to energise a city, as new york was split down the middle by ireland, and italian people, as both these peoples have played a massive role in new yorks history

    New years world cup may not have either side, and you will not see a game like ireland vs italy in new york in next years world cup

    It will not see a game like that, as americans cannot get excited by football

    Only ireland vs italy in new york, brought any sort of football energy to usa 1994, when most of america did not even know you were hosting the football world cup

    No game like ireland vs italy in new york will be at next years world cup, and i doubt the public will in usa ever see another football game like ireland vs italy in usa 1994 ever again.

    Both thse teams may not even be there, and usa next year will miss alot if both these teams do not qualify, as italians, and irish are two big immigrant groups in usa, and without these two sides your world cup next year will be missing something.

    No one asks these people will this time americans even know the world cup is being hosted in usa?

    In 1994, most americans did not even know the world cup was being held in usa

    Will this time the american population get excited by the event?

    An american football event will never see another game like ireland vs italy in new jersey in 1994, it was the only game in that event, that brought energy to a city, as the city was divided between irish and italian immigrants, and it brought energy to new york, that no american city could ever see again.

    Just imagine how many immigrant people in usa have links to ireland, and italy, and if neither of these teams are in next years world cup, it will be missing something, that these two will bring to events.

    No american city next year will see another game like ireland vs italy in 1994 world cup, where americans for once got to see a city energised by the excitement for a football game, as irish and italian peoples in new york split the city in two with excitement for taht game, as irish and italians have such a history of new york

    No game next year will match that game, and i still doubt usa people will even care.

    Like i said, ireland vs italy was the only time usa people ever got to see excitement about football in your country, as ireland italy in 1994, brought an energy to new york, no other teams playing can.

  6. When you dont hear the analysis guys mention the true name of the sport being "football" at least once thats when you know that amateurs are talking.

  7. simple but interesting take that if Pulisic is healthy and in form then we will be ok. We have plenty of serviceable players that can get us out of group stage but without Pulisic the whole thing falls apart.
