Your team certainly did themselves proud and will steadily improve before the next competition.

Just watched the 3-3 draw between Cameroon and Serbia.

A good advertisement for the competition.

Thanks Jim. We like to play off our front foot, going forward we'll need more balance and an injection of youth
at a few key positions. Our coach as well I think will learn from this. His comments though I don't think were
meant to be disrespectful towards Croatia, did not help us.

Tried to find the article-without any luck.

So it will be written from what I remember.

Day before the match between Wales and Iran, an expert on football from Wales mocked the Iranian team saying they were worthless.

After the defeat, the football expert have tried to withdraw his statements he made before the match-But Internet never forget.

My bad! Iran wants the US team booted from the WC for improperly and disrespectfully posting the Iranian flag without the flag's sword/arches symbol...JEEZE! they burn our flag("Old Glory") all the time?? Politics as usual I'd guess!

I doubt many if any at all will be taking any notice of anything Iran spouts off about.

That is a pretty dumb thing for them to do.

The most offensive entity at this world cup is FIFA itself.

I've got this idea for years.

I'm an ordinary person without any influent on what's going on in our society I have one vote-Which I do not use(that's an another story)

If my idea came true-Then there will be no FIFA-delagate. Instead it will be the countries minister of culture or sport who will be consider being a FIFA member.

So let me give an example.

Denmark and Sweden is interested in hosting the World Cup in 2040.
So both Minister sign a paper and send it to the FIFA secretary in Geneve.

This secretary check if these countries who want to hold the World Cup fulfill what is required to host such an event.

Denmark and Sweden fulfill these requirement so the names of these two country is put into a little plastic ball.

Some month later this secretary makes a draw-well she makes two draws from this huge bowl with all these red plastic ball.
First draw is the primary country to host the World Cup
Second draw is secondary county-In case first country can't

Thereafter it's everyone's balls-Meaning any ordinary can open the balls to see if someone has fiddled with the name.

This draw will be broadcasted live.

I know my idea is bad

Markus

AKBAR 'MERIKA! USA 1 IRAN 0: final score just in! the ties 'gainst Wales and England weren't a fluke after all! Kudos too; to the able current Iranian coach, Manuel Brito Leal de Queirez who, in his long career, also created the revamped American World Cup program a few years back. American soccer owes the man! He's gotta be proud either way! 'Merika advances: Iran is eliminated.
