I just want to make a statement here,i don't like or agree with ppl saying on this forum we don't like or hate the US national team,i would rather those statements be more individual than labeling the forum as haters of the US,it have a lot of our nationals involved with US Soccer and you never know how much of what you say going to affect us.

We have ppl fighting to get contracts,doing their courses,scholarships,coaching Colleges,Clubs etc Directing various programs,in other words we depend on them to enhance our future.We don't have any American Coaches/Players in our leagues or national level in T&T but most if not all of our best Coaches/players came through the American system.

the generalization is innacurate..........and deep down I'm sure most if not all people on here have high respect for the strides that the U.S. has made in the game.......what you read on here is more harmless gun talk than anything else.....when people get personal and start trying to talk about politics etc.....then that's taking it a bit too far.

Green Beret is a rel idiot yes. You so stupid you join the army to fight for America who doh care about you But here you are fighting down T&T and just FIGHTING THE LIME (you does try to be trini so you might know what that mean)...USA got schooled by Germany. A thrashing. USA just fit but as soon as a side fitter than them they will lose. And Green Beret it really int change anything for June because all the show-off allyuh doing wouldn't stop the licks allyuh going to get in that group. I proud of my country because We reach and we have nothing to lose in Germany ( only gain). USA bussing up their mouth and they will get spanked. PS USA never produce anything close to Dwight, or Latas,....when allyuh do HOLLA BACK....warmonga i never believe you so dumb nah to support the US like that...Germany thrash them fool ...And you have to be Jamaican to be talking so much crap.

YES IT DOES seem so to me....But that is your preference... The point is the US got destroyed...Germany were missing players too...the US should feel ashamed...Its probably the biggest nation in terms of size taking part...Green Beret stop being so foolish and compare T&T with USA...If USA find a world class player in every state they have 51...If they find an average of 1 world class player for 2 states they have 20 players....You telling me that USA should lose to anyone if they so good

T&T is a drop on the map and they produce better players than the USA ever had...The US feel good beating us

hmmm...Caribbean Coaches is the people who fuel the football in the US anyway...Green Beret , allyuh fellas just stupid and stuck up for no reason because USA is crap when you look at the big picture

Ponnoxx, is people like you who make a strong, compelling case in favor of ABORTION. You are a waste of a sperm and an egg. You are about as good a candidate for an abortion as I have ever seen. Better your mother had given your father a blow job.

US getting 4 goals from Germany is the biggest even in your life? You are a pitiful little fool. In the grand scheme of things, Germany is SUPPOSED to beat the US.

I just wanted to get that off my chest. Now I feel better. I won't waste my time with you any further. Kaka-hole!!!

USgal and Green Berret: Here is the deal

We concede that over the past 15 years USA football has developed faster and better than T&T. However, it is important to note that not one single US player in that time have risen to the standards of a Yorke or Latapy. We have better players in our country and Caribbean hands down. USA has beaten us in money, coaching and player development. We agree to that.

The problem we have is the general arrogance of Americans as it relates to football. American media and teams have shown little or no respect for the region they are in. If USa was not as arrogant with their approach to the game you would have had more fans.

T&T and Jamaica are the top Caribbean teams yet we don't have any indignation for any other developing nation. Even with Bahrain all the talk on this site ended with the game. We don't hate Bahrain or Guatemala or Costa Rica becase they are respectful teams. They have respect for footballing nations.

The USA seems to have a policy of arrogance and ignorance when it comes to the broader game at the highest level. And that showed with your coach and goal keeper today. Every time Donovan gets on camera and says "We know everyone hates us so we have to show them..etc" it's like me coming on an american pickup game being the only foreigner and demanding eveyones respect. Well when it comes to world soccer the USA are immigrants and the world will keep saying get these guys out of here until you guys get some respect. So line up for your card....Take licks

OK, Germany gave us a second half schooling. Like I said before, we are no where near the 5th best team in the world, not even top 10. And we still have mountains to climb before we can consistently challenge the likes of Germany, Italy, Brazil and the power houses.

But, we are light years closer to those teams than T&T is. (I'm not hating).

No excuses, Germany showed why they are 3 time world cup winners.

But in true American fashion, we will regroup, take out our frustration on Jamaica... ... and get ready to the WC. We got a cut-arse yesterday, but that hasn't changed anything for June.

Nah man. I won't hide. If the team loses all the games in Germany, yeah I will be disappointed, but I won't hide.

I see football in America as a long, arduous journey. One that I hope, will eventually reward the US football team with respect as a direct result of their performance on the field. I'ver said it before and I will say it again, I am a football fan, like everyone else on this forum. In particular, I am a fan of CONCACAF football. Naturally, I pledge my support to the US national team, but in the interest of CONCACAF, I will support any CONCACAF team when they play any other team outside of CONCACAF. I believe that the success of each individual CONCACAF team, ultimately gains respect for the region as a whole. There will be 4 CONCACAF teams in Germany and I would love to see EVERY one of them succeed and represent the region creditably, and in so doing, justify the 4 spots we got this time around.

Ppl posting that we produce better players than the USA..i.e Yorke and Latapy...true, i can't think of any USA players better than those 2 but at the end of the day..how many world cups have we played in...how many world cups have the USA played in?

Hating on the USA is not doing anything for us...we should try to learn from them because in 1989, both countries were at the same level...now 17 yrs later the gap has widened between TnT and the USA.

Those are two things that we in Trinidad cannot match.

true we cant match the growth rate since football is already popular and dollar for dollar we cant match the US either but there is still money that can be invested in TNT football...and the main difference between the USA and TnT outside of money is not popularity growth rate but organization and administration. This is what hinders the success of various sporting disciplines in the country..we have the talent but poor adminsitration and lack of proper organization is why we will always be second rate.

investing money means nothing..you still have to have a long term plan, fiscal discipline, leadership and lots of talent and much more.....or else your money goes to waste. And the people who are fighting to develop the sport in the US are doing so against a backdrop of corporate and media resistance. As far as I concerned they deserve some respect...who cares what the general US public thinks...

Our rivalry with the US is great...it makes us strive to be better and their is a grudge element to it that raises passions. Whenever we play US, Mexico or Jamaica...I cyah miss it. These are our super-classicos.
However, some of our responses on this thread show we are no better than the same people we criticize...I like how Preacher drop it. I do not fully agree with him at all, but the man just made his points and kept his head high. Real dignified...sounds like a man who actually develops his ideas and open to hearing a different view

Hating US soccer because of US politics is absolute rubbish...yeah, the Iraq war is disgusting...but I sure as hell eh likening the soca warriors to Manning, Panday and company, so why are people using dislike of the Bush administration to hate on US ball. The US is often thought of as arrogant...well we should do a poll of how we are viewed here in the caribbean..you will be surprised to find we are disliked and found pretty arrogant as well

Truth is, as much as I love this board..I have seen it bring out the absolute worst aspects of the T&T mentality. We can be the greatest nation on earth, but we can also be racist, xenophobic, arrogant, ignorant (literally), illogical and insulting...this thread alone has some shameful comments. So stop the social critiques...because every negative point you make about anyone, including Americans, is alive and well in your own back yard...lewwe keep this to football and realize the best rivalries will always have political and social undertones...but they are also based on mutual respect, uniting communities and demonstrating that we have so much in common beyond our superficial differences

Our rivalry with the US is great...it makes us strive to be better and their is a grudge element to it that raises passions. Whenever we play US, Mexico or Jamaica...I cyah miss it. These are our super-classicos.
However, some of our responses on this thread show we are no better than the same people we criticize...I like how Preacher drop it. I do not fully agree with him at all, but the man just made his points and kept his head high. Real dignified...sounds like a man who actually develops his ideas and open to hearing a different view

Hating US soccer because of US politics is absolute rubbish...yeah, the Iraq war is disgusting...but I sure as hell eh likening the soca warriors to Manning, Panday and company, so why are people using dislike of the Bush administration to hate on US ball. The US is often thought of as arrogant...well we should do a poll of how we are viewed here in the caribbean..you will be surprised to find we are disliked and found pretty arrogant as well

Truth is, as much as I love this board..I have seen it bring out the absolute worst aspects of the T&T mentality. We can be the greatest nation on earth, but we can also be racist, xenophobic, arrogant, ignorant (literally), illogical and insulting...this thread alone has some shameful comments. So stop the social critiques...because every negative point you make about anyone, including Americans, is alive and well in your own back yard...lewwe keep this to football and realize the best rivalries will always have political and social undertones...but they are also based on mutual respect, uniting communities and demonstrating that we have so much in common beyond our superficial differences
