What England is saying about playing team USA
Written by Black Entertainment USA
Well it only took a second before fans of the US soccer team felt a twinge of pain today. Once we found out that were were playing England in the first match of the World Cup group play the plan became who else might we have a chance against in the group.
But there was huge commentary across the world. Well likely not about the US or our chances to win (though 66-1 is the best odds I ever recall for a World Cup), but about all the various match-ups. One thing I noticed was how British sports commentators were reacting to the news (I don’t pay attention to American sportscasters when it comes to soccer).
It seems that Team USA is giving some in England a pause, if only momentarily. Which might be the 2nd best result that could have happened. The best of course being an overly confident boasting - which there is still time for.
There just isn’t anything better than hearing anyone consider the American futbol team and use terms like tough and out-muscling. It’s not as good as over-powering and strategic, but I take what I can get.
But is this fear they are speaking of, or just a low scoring match?
