Rob2012 Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 2nd at best Don't put words in my mouth, Rob. Speak for yourself -- NOT for me. Most of the first seeds in European groups would probably get 4/6 points from the USA in their two games. That's why I say 2nd at best. Having said that, I think 3rd would be poor for the USA as they are not a bad team by any means. They would probably get a play-off or best second place spot if they were in a European group imho.

It does get tiring when all one hears from someone is: Madrid this! Madrid that! Madrid and Spain are perfect! They pay for everything! It gets old very quickly. We know we're not among the top 6 right now because we're late to the game and only in the last few years is there really a more rabid following in the US. But give us a few more years. We're raising a whole new breed of bigger (6' and over) and quicker players who are being trained well from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRATK Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 I'm surprised at how low the attendence was in France. And even more surprised at Spain!!Judging the success or otherwise of a World Cup is not just a case of looking at attendences though. Yes, but you must remember that most of the stadiums have 40.000 seats, but in US 94 there were about 70.000 each one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual, you open your mouth for nothing, mikel. Look at the figures above. And the 2002 figures (even though held in 18 cities did NOT match the 1994 attendance figures. It is estimated that maybe 2010 MIGHT...read MIGHT...surpass the 1994 figures BUT that depends on actual paid attendance then. The overall stadia in Germany next year will NOT match the seating capacities AND Paid attendance of the 1994 WOrld Cup. You're quite pathetic, mikel. Do you really think I buy the arguments of some kid who comes from a second-rate power like Spain, still thinking of the old glory days of their vanished empire? You still have a bit to learn about the world, mikel. Makes you wonder how Germany 2006 will be like in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have a bit to learn about the world, mikel. Makes you wonder how Germany 2006 will be like in this regard. Someone already calculated the numbers for Germany. Even if all matches sold out, they would still not surpass the 1994 record. The stadia aren't all that big. From South Africa's early plans, 2010 -- if they sell out -- will have a chance of topping the 1994 attendance.
