The US Soccer team isn't exactly known for its ability to score, so Sunday's 8 goal record outburst against Barbados was sort of a surprise. I mean, we all knew the US would win, mainly because Barbados has to find national soccer team players via their web site, but that's still one impressive goal total.
Just to put this in perspective, here's what winning 8-0 in a soccer game is the equivalent to in other sports.
Real football: 278-0
Hockey: 43-0
Baseball: 94-0
Basketball: ∞
Obviously it will get a little tougher for the US as they continue to try and qualify for the 2010 World Cup.
Oh wait, no it won't. The US is playing Barbados again on June 22nd. Man, which countries are next after that? The island nation of Malta? Vatican City? Talk about a murderers row.
Ah, but wait, the June 22 game is in Barbados. So yeah, should be a tough one for the US. I'd say a 5-0 squeaker is about right.
