    She is a loony, but on TV all the time. She once said on national tv that women shouldnt be allowed to vote unless they are married so their husbands can tell them how to vote. She isnt married herself though but we are supposed to listen to her. :rolleyes:

    She obviously earns her corn penning 'outrageous' views which are supposed to make us gasp or titter.

    IN GB, baseball is called 'rounders' and basketball is called 'netball'- both sports for the ladies.

    Gonzalez was outstanding for my team the Galaxy two years ago when they won the MLS Cup before he got injured and his form dropped. That's probably why Klinsmann chose Cameron over him in the first two games. Cameron was awful against Portugal and responsible for both goals. Gonzo saved the US going two or three goals down in the first 10 minutes today with his perfectly timed tackles in the penalty area. He is also brilliant in the air on attacking set pieces and him and Curtis would be a terrific threat.

    There is probably no way we could get him on the cheap after todays performance with managers around the world watching but he and Jones would be the two I'd go for.

    England have better "quality" players than the US. But the US plays better football, is more passionate, is more committed and are just better to watch. It's almost like the much hated "Americanisation" of the game could teach us something.

    I also think that the USA is more likely to win a World Cup long before England win it again.

    Klinsmann is doing a brilliant job there, they play attractive football, they have a clear and well laid out plan for youth development and have their eye on the future.

    We really could learn something from them.

    You lot going on about us going for US players - we've been linked with Geoff Cameron today.

    Vomit. Someone is high as a kite if they want to sign him.

    I had already put that in the transfer page. There are far better options than him even from American players. Cameron is a ****ty defender.

    Agreed. As he proved in the WC he's hopeless at full back. Looked ok for Stoke on the wing at times but nowhere near as good as what we've got or are already about to sign.

    If we're going for an American I hope it's Brek Shea and no other.

    I would definitely disagree with that, they have had some good pieces of play but on the whole their strategy involves their variety of holding mids fouling and then passing it out to their sprinters on the wing who just run it up and down. England's passing performance against Italy was a much more enjoyable style.
