No way would an foreign football team score on the NFL's best. It would be way worse then what the Dream Team did in basketball.
I used to love the Olympics when we were demonstrating the superiority of the American Way to the dirty commies. But with that decided, I really have no interest in the Summer Games
I like the Winter Games marginally more b/c everything involving ice and snow is a completely foreign concept to me, and USA Hockey is one of the few things where the US is an underdog. The only international competitions that interest me are The Ryder Cup, USA Hockey, and The World Cup. Like with Basketball we are supposed to win, and if they don't, it's a failure. Where's the fun in being the bully?

They're good at swimming and riding their bikes and they have the best ice skaters in the world.
I'm sure their youth soccer team made it in soccer. Meanwhile the US can't beat Greenland or St Martin's

They didn't qualify for the soccer event.
lol flag football, nancies
Jesus Dutch what is wrong with you guys? I thought your country was supposed to be unique in that its soccer dominance was in stark contrast to its relatively small population

It's tough to have an international competition when not many countries favor the sport. There is a reason why USA doesn't do well in Cricket.

I don't really understand why the Dutch team didn't make it, they always perform well on tournament under-19 and stuff. It doesn't really matter though, Brazil got that shit on lockdown.
I actually thought you were talking about USA soccer.
The only reason to watch Olympic Soccer is to watch England get crushed and the crazy reactions from the media/fans.
other countries need to man up and take their beatings for my enjoyment, i need james harrison going helmet to helmet on some poor foreign qb name akdek eeodrii in my life.
He already did that in NFL Europe.

They have some really talented young players some of the best talents in the world and the regular team has some greats as well, it just isn't working right now, they're trying to play out of their system and it's just not working, really sucks.
But like I said, Brazil got this locked down, Neymar, Lucas, Gonso, Oscar, Pato and Hulk just to name a few are all talents of the highest level, it really is crazy.
there wasnt many of those games played on tv. just like that flag football thing. I bet that probably isnt even on tv
Its not like we don't have any crazy names too.

The best Olympic event is the competitive walk aka "Race walking". It's the most interesting event, and if you get a chance, check it out. I have so many questions still and I must have wikipedia'd racewalking a dozen times.

Lions fans shouldnt cast stones
Dez had all sorts of red flags out of college. Lots of stuff that never made the papers and he was off lots of teams' draft boards. He's also mentoring Justin Blackmon

Eagles training camp opens Sunday for select players and Wednesday for everyone else. I cant fucking wait. Sucks that they are not doing 2 a-days anymore. I really want to go to camp this year but it is a far drive for only 1 practice.

He is? Lolllllll
Speaking of Weeden, I'm actually gonna be at the first Browns game this season. I'm visiting some friends in Cleveland that weekend, and they have Browns season tickets. First NFL game, so I'm pretty excited.
I just hope Weeden plays well and shows that he's clearly better than Colt. Richardson needs to be the workhorse they drafted him to be.
