when will the U.S. become a threat in international soccer?
Now that the U.S. mens team have proven that they can at least hang on when they play a team like Brazil and Spain.  When will the U.S. become known as a country with a great soccer team like Argentina, Spain, Germany, Brazil and etc..

 I don't think they are a threat to win it all, but they do have that March Madness "mid-major-that-you-don't-wanna-play-in-the-sweet-sixteen-vibe" about them right now. That's a good thing.

 They are already a major threat.
They unseeded the no 1 team in the world in the confeds Cup(spain)
They almost beat Brazil...

  There are a tremendous number of extremely talented soccer players in our country today.  Many of these young players are the kids of first or second generation soccer players here in the US or kids of immigrants.  Once our coaching catches up with the rest of the world, we let our kids play less structured games and let the game and creativity be the teachers we will be a consistently dominant team in the world.  We are close, just not there yet.

 They r already a threat i mean having a losing record in group play and still making it to the finals of confederations cup! Beating Spain rated #1 team 2-0 and beating brazil 2-0 at half but choking second half they r still awesome and favorite for 2010 WC

 Football will always be dominant in the US however I believe that based on player registrations that organized soccer is larger than any other sport in the US.  You also have to look at the large number of immigrants (legal and illegal) that are currently in this country, the fact is most immigrants have grown up as soccer being their main sport and they have no allegiance to football.

You will see.... soccer will become more of a dominant sport in the US.... give it one more generation......

Really??? If it wasn't for the Italians having a meltdown against the Brazilians, the Americans would have never been in the semi's in the first place.  This team is closer to losing 3 games in group play than to even sniff a World Cup final.

The problem is, soccer may be the #1 youth sport(and it has been already for a long while), but where's the money at?  Sports like football, basketball, & baseball.  Kids aren't simply going to continue to play soccer if there's no financial future in it.

  there is such thing as luck in soccer and besides the confederation cup, for me, is a useless tournament, though i get to watch soccer after the leagues r all over. Anyways kudos should be given to the team but its just flashes of potentials and nothing fanstastic. However if the mls is well publicised, maybe and really maybe we  can grow to respect them cos MLS is portrayed as a retiring league for players in europe so for that US cant be a threat, too much paparazzi and all dat hollywood stuff is not helping

 Luck or no, the US got the chance to play the #1 team in the world and beat them, badly. The US got a chance to play Brazil and led 2-0 and lost 3-2.

Average that out and I'd say that the US is a threat to beat any team, in any given game. Are they a threat to win the World Cup? I don't think so. But can they win any given game against any team they are matched with? Yes, absolutely.

if you get to the final of a cometition it's not enough to be lucky you have to be good as well...yes the USA may have had luck to get there but if the Italians are melting down in this and the Spaniards were below par who's to say they won't during the world cup?

 I think the money will also come with time.  You have to understand the demographics of our country are changing.  We no longer are a melting pot but quickly becoming groups of people.  A common tie to most of these groups is soccer.  Look at the faithful fans of most MLS teams, they are heavily immigrants.   As this next generation of kids become adults, attendance will increase, the purchasing of apparel will continue to grow and revenue will increase.  As we do better on the world stage you will see more kids (and I already do) wearing soccer jerseys as opposed to baseball or football jerseys.  It won't happen overnight but it will happen.

Also, as the current anti-soccer commentators and analysts retire and younger more soccer savvy commentators are hired, you will see soccer televised more frequently in time slots that will actually make viewing possible.

 The US was lucky to make it to the Semis. They matched up well against Spain and that's why they won. Spain is a team like the Cubs...they put up a good season & then when the pressure is on they CHOKE!!! It's the norm from Spain. Against Brazil...Brazil was toying with them. Look at the second half....only took them 30-45 seconds to score a goal. The final score should've been 4-2 if not if that for that goal they didn't give them that Howard had punched out from past the goal line.

Soccer in this country is way far behind than Brazil, Argentina or any other of the soccer powerhouses. Brazil & Argentina have so many players in the country that for every Ronaldo or Kaka there is another in wings waiting to get his chance to shine. The US doesn't have that once Donovan, Guch, Howard & others grow old who will take their place??? In other countries soccer is the only sport. Here in this country it is 1 of 6 sports played. So not many kids skilled kids are playing and so the skill level will not be the same as if it were the only game played in this country. The US will always qualify for the World Cup cause the CONCACAF is a weak federation, where Mexico is it's only competion.

The US needs to train all the coaches with fundamentals. I remember when I was in High School my coach was getting ideas for practice out of a book. If kids are not taught the fundamentals of where are they going to learn them from??? It all starts when when they're young.

 If you haven't been involved recently in soccer, I can see why you would feel that way.  As much as our players have progressed, so has our coaching.  Each year we get better, all around.  I stand by my 5 year prediction.... no way will it be 20 years.

Just because I haven't played organized soccer since 2000. Doesn't mean I don't know what's going on. I won't deny that the current roster the US has is a good one. It's good to win in the CONCACAF & to qualify for the World Cup. They had a good performance in the Confederations Cup. But it's not consistant. Once these players careers are done will there be a decline in player performance or will it maintain itself on a constant level. For example...in '94 Brazil had the forwards Bebeto & Romario starting with a no name 17 year old named Ronaldo on the bench who didn't even play 1 second.

You say 5 years....it won't happen. This is why....Donovan is 27, he'll be 28 by the time the World Cup begins. Then 32 by the next World Cup. That will be his final WC as I doubt he will be called to play at the age of 36. Donovan is basicly hitting his playing peak right now. There is a reason why Cobi Jones, Landon Donovan, Tony Meola, Claudio Reyna, Jeff Agoos & Marcelo Balboa have over 100 caps. Pele only has 92 caps and he 16 when he was first called to play for his National team. I say this cause when you have a deep pool of players to choose from you will remain competitive like alot of the soccer powerhouses in the world.

Besides Freddy Adu & Jozy Altidore who is left to carry the torch for the US??? Who can they plugin to take over for Donovan, Howard, Dempsey, Guch & Bocanegra. If there aren't players ready to take over for these guys once they have gotten to a point where they can't compete on a National Team level, the US will see a set back. That's why I say 20 years. Cause it will take that long for the US to become not just a threat but a consistant threat where the world won't take them lightly and they will be making the quarterfinals along with the semifinals in the World Cup.

Now please explain your thoughts & reasoning for 5 years.

 All we really need is more consistency. We're the top ranked team in CONCACAF, even above Costa Rica (who's moving up fast), and we have great ball movement and shooting, but we tend to second guess ourselves, especially in the coaching.

 It kinda depends on what you mean by "threat".  Are they a team that can occasionally sneak up and beat one of the big boys?  Yes.  They threaten that.  Are they a team that can be considered a consistent challenger for the top spots in the world?  Not just yet.

 My reasoning is that there are a lot of quality players in the pipeline.  I think our coaching staffs tend to have too much loyalty to some of our veterans.  More and more of our players are playing in Europe and that is the key to our National team being a consistent side on the international stage.  I don't think Bradley would have gotten the opportunity he has had if his father wasn't the coach.  It's not because he isn't good enough, I just don't think he would have been given that chance.  

Do other countries have more depth?  Yes they do however soccer is a game that only plays 14 players for any given game.  We are solid in goal and are building our defensive strength.  Just my opinion but I have seen our level of play get consistently better at the collegiant level and that will also help us..... I think it will be closer to 5 years then 20... just my opinion....

 coming  so close in confedration cup does'nt mean that USA should be considered a threat, it just means that these guys have potential and we can expect few upsets from them in 2010 WC.and as far as "threat" is concerned i think it take them another 8-10 years to be a true champion.

I read the first couple of sentences of your post and then I stopped reading. Spain won Euro. Spain had not lost in 30+ straight matches and had won like 15 straight. And if Spain had beaten the US they would have either tied or set the ALL TIME record for most straight games without a loss.

So how is it the norm for Spain to choke, when they came one game from setting the all time record for winning? 

IMO, you're just looking for a way to not give the US any credit. Which is fine, just be honest. Don't come around selling the "Spain always chokes" line when it is clear that Spain was one of the winningest teams of all time.

Another odd point you make here.... Pele has 92 caps and several US guys have over 100, so somehow that means that the US does not have depth that can replace these guys?

Looking at Brazil, Cafu has 142 caps, Roberto Carlos has 125 caps, Taffarel has 101 caps... does that mean Brazil also does not have depth?

No, it just means that there are more games being played now than there were when Pele played. The Confederations Cup didn't exist when Pele played and there are more friendlies now, more tournaments and just more times for national teams to play than there were in the 1960s. Largely because people make money when teams play, and the games are on TV, so there are financial reasons to have more games now. So yeah, more games is going to mean more caps especially when you compare players from the 1990s through present to guys that played in the 1960s.

 The big problem is that soccer isn't a big sport in the U.S. and never really has been. All the great kid athletes pick Baseball, Football, and Basketball simply because soccer just isn't big here. But in other countries like England and Brazil the ONLY sport to play is soccer. Just think about it. what if all of the great athletes out there (Like Lebron James, Albert Pujols, or Adrian Peterson) grew up playing soccer?The US would be great. But i bet you Lebron James never even HEARD about soccer until he was already a hot-shot at basketball!!!

this response is irrelevant to the question. America football is meaningless to the rest of the world. Most US football players don't come close to the physical rigger of soccer (the real futbol) or rugby. We are increasing in the number of US players going to play in leagues around the world. If you are only comparing the USA team to the top 5 World Cup teams, then we are probably 5-10 years away; however, if you compare us to the rest of the national teams in the world, we are a significant threat right NOW!

 I believe in ten years USA has the potential to become one of those powerhouses in the world of soccer. Beating Spain in the confed and beating them in the WC are two different things. Yes, spain did indeed bring an awesome squad and US does deserve credit for beating them. For as long as they don't show what they are made out of in the biggest stage in sports, we can't be sure or make them a contender already. One thing is true if any team thinks they can just show, play and beat US they are out of their mind, being on your best game is the only way to beat them not half ass, ain't that right SPAIN...not a WC contender but WC spoiler is what they will be...

Didn't I read recently that Bradly had been complaining about how the US players are being used by their overseas club teams?  I think he was bugged that the Americans get signed to play there and then end up not getting much playing time that they need.  Apparently even though there are more Americans playing overseas now than ever, most aren't starting games.

 they can become a threat when they start getting confidence in them and practising a lot to compete with every team
but they should remember one thing that after winning matches when they get a match with a low level team
they will neglect them if they become a good team in soccer. So for that remember one thing that we should not neglect any team
which come as our opponent infront of us.
for a single match they should fight like a soldiers
then only they can be a good team

 US is a threat in Soccer and may find a place in the finals against my favourite Brazil. US have many talented and experienced players and hard practice may even give them a chance winning the World Cup. We need not under estimate their power and energy. Soccer is the best sport that one would like to watch from his/her living room, the shortest and fastest version of any sports and a final between Brazil vs. US is most welcome to watch over a can of beer. However, Brazil would be a hard to win team. Good Luck US!

 Beating some of the best teams, even when their best players are not playing, gives the US team a measure of legitimacy on the world soccer stage. They are not true contenders, and there is a long long way to go before being considered on par. But, a few key wins makes them a sleeper in any tournament, and they could roll over any team that takes them lightly.

Yes they are doing better, but there is no chance they can be considered a threat to win the world cup. They may get to the semi's, or quarter finals, if they get lucky and some other team overlooks them, but come on, there is simply too much talent internationally, other teams have way too much experience and pride and desire to let the US team win. Not to mention the bias of the referees. They may be a threat, but I would put their odds of winning the world cup at about 150:1.

You will see.... soccer will become more of a dominant sport in the US.... give it one more generation......
Most of registrations you speak of are kids. by high school most leave soccer for something else.

A favorite for the WC? I think not. The world cup is like the super bowl, the other tournaments are like Division II college ball. Big difference in play.

just like any other sport, you gotta work up to a starting job. A college starter doesn't immediately start in the pros (most of the time). But it is a good debate to have. Do we want our best players to play more, or play around the best? Whats better for our guys, watching the worlds best, or more playing time with less skilled players? hmm.....

Just cause the USA are just making soccer as a profession maybe thats why you think other countries might have an edge over the USA, no don't never underestimate an competitor, thats how you get pass over/lose

 lol nice comments here!!! It's already a threat! Stay focus on the game. The availability of sport facilities are far superior compared to other nations & the passion for sports in general among the population are the plus factors. The last 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup, a prelude to 2010 FIFA World Cup,  USA was runner up narrowly losing to Brazil 2-3. That was a great achivement which surprisingly only a small fraction of the American knew...

No financial future? Are you serious? You don't have to watch soccer to know how much these guys make. Sportscenter & PTI occasionally will discuss salaries and they surpass those of football, bball and baseball. Remember the currency overseas is alot stronger than our dollar. So 3.4 million pounds is well over 7 mil. So many players are playing in leagues all over the world. Yes some don't start immediately, but eventually do. However they are still there, still training, still getting better for our national team, still earning respect, and still working to broaden our position in the soccer world. The money's there!

 Honestly I thought we would be in the top 4 in 2010... back in 1998. Now I think we need another 5yrs. Trust me Army, I'm not bashing our boyz, but I don't consider us a threat right now. As a supporter of soccer in the US, I personally felt slapped in the face after the last WC. As a nation I felt it, the commercials, papers, media, viewage (ratings) in bars/ sports bars actually trying to get an idea of the game... it was a beautiful thing. Then the US failed to show up.

When you have a country that finally gives soccer a shot that normally frowns on and treats the game like that "different" kid on the play ground. Cool kid, but because he's different in dress, talk, toys, whatever we don't pay much attention.

If you think I'm wrong name the #1 sport in the US. Football right. The biggest supposedily "manly" sport to play since the game has been televised has disrespected and degraded the most important player on the team... the kicker. The kicker is the one keeping you in the game until your offense finally desides to do thier job. He's the dollar menu selections that get you through the day until you can actually feast on something good, but does anyone give him any credit? No! Does anyone want to "bang" the kicker? No! Dwight Clark on a fluke once in a lifetime catch (I hate that replay) would get more attention that Morten Andersen. If Clark and Andersen walked into a bar/ club Andersen would be lucky to get a drink special while Clark's doing Cuervo shots between two goregous C-cups and going home with the Coors Light twins. That's how our sports nation works as Americans.

Soccer supporters finally had that call from the coach to finally get in the game. As players we all know that feeling (if you don't you will) to sit the bench, get made fun of, waiting for your moment to shine. Coach calls to put you in either because we're getting our ass kicked or the score is too high for calculators to keep up, either way it's your chance to show that you belong. You run the wrong way, the ball goes through your legs, you swing a bat before the pitcher releases the ball, as a defender you jump up to catch the ball but your playing soccer, whatever you do something that makes the coach loose faith... now you have to wait longer and work harder.

Yes we've beat the top most feared teams in the world, but not consistantly. We are comming along as a nation. At least we're not the Generals vs Globetrotters anymore, but we still have a few years to be truly "threats". Our biggest problem the past few WCs is us. Our national team figures out some way to shoot themself in the foot in the WC. We can have a great build up but not show for the dance. Until we can make the final 8-12 ranks in the WC because we earned it, I feel the "threat" will never be. To be a "threat" we shouldn't rely on other countries to beat other countries that do/ don't bribe referees to determine making it to the next level. Put the ball in the f@ck'n net and keep defending, then respect will follow. Even the Pistons beat the Cavs once, last season before they got swept in the playoffs.

Watching the US play soccer is like watching Croatia play basketball. They can run and shoot with the best, but they have no ball handling skills and woeful ball movement.  One game says nothing about which is the better team, and this is especially so in soccer.  Soccer rules give the defense the advantage, and this gives the less skilled team a better chance; get a fluke goal then sit on it.

 If more USA players come and play in the three best leagues in the world; Italy, Spain and England and benefit from this, there is no reason why they cannot become a threat.

For this to happen, they need more talented young athletes playing soccer, over other sports. They need improvements in coaching, and they need a programme of sending these players to Europe at a very early age.


Currently the MLS is the quality of league one football in England (which is the equivalent of division 3 soccer in England). USA cannot become a threat internationally while its club players, play soccer of this low standard.

The MLS will naturally improve if more young talented athletes choose pro soccer over other sports, however I doubt this will happen significantly for another 20 years. This is simply due to the strength of the existing US sports, and a required decline needed in these sports to benefit soccer.

The USA is far far away from being anywhere near as good, in terms of the quality of players produced as the likes of Spain, Brazil, Italy and England. The 3rd or 4ths of these international sides are good enough to beat the USA 1st's. It is not only the quality of the best 11, it is also the strength in depth of the next 30 -40 players the country has.

Do not try to compare USA in a selection of one off game's to the elite.

Soccer is one of those sports that does not show the difference in quality between two teams based on a one off match, or by a scoreline. This is because tactics and more notably defensive tactics can make a poorer team much closer to an elite team than they actually are. It can also sometimes result in this team winning, if they have alot of luck and the elite teams are poorely managed. Example, Greece in Euro 2004.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_2004

Greece were only about the 12th best out of 16 teams in that tournament but won it, for the reasons given above. This is USA's hope of glory, and this is there chance of becoming a threat to the elite, including under perfoming elite nations and excellent tactics especially defensively.

Thats so true....if the US pours as much money on soccer as in football, basketball, tennis and other fav sports, then i can see more soccer fileds in the country and more soccer greats. I dont remember seeing one when i was in the states in early 1990s...and i still wonder where do they play now bcz i still cant find a soccer field or stadium in most colleges / universities when i came for a long visit in 2005!

True that...  But even you habe to admit...  Their games in the prelims they played pretty crappy.  And things out of their control had to go right for them to even advance to the Semi's.  In simpler language...  They were lucky to advance.

Then they caught lightning in a bottle by knocking off Spain.  Which this team is totally capable of doing every once in a while.  To me the biggest surprise was being ahead of Brazil 2-0.  That was jaw dropping.  I think it had been 10 years since the US had defeated Brazil.  And this time was a major international tournament. 

My original assessment still stands.  This team is good enough to play with and even knock off one of the world's superpowers on occasion....  But they still aren't good enough to do it more often than not.

To win the World Cup, they will have to do it 3...  Perhaps even four times in a row.  I don't think this team has it in them yet.

Of course, after watching their first two games in Confed Cup...  I didn't even pay attention to the 3rd game.  So I guess you never know...

Yeah, I don't expect the US to win the world cup... I don't think anyone with any real understanding of what the US is capable of thinks that.... but as far as luck goes, you've got to have a bit of luck to win any big tournament. The teams that win almost always had to get a call or two to go their way, or have the ref not call them for something that they should have... and plenty of times in world cup play a team gets into the knockout round in almost the same way as the US made it to the knockout stage of the confed cup. The US can beat anyone at any time, but they aren't consistent. That about sums it up.

Also, as the current anti-soccer commentators and analysts retire and younger more soccer savvy commentators are hired, you will see soccer televised more frequently in time slots that will actually make viewing possible.
This is a political comment.  I agree with your observation of the US becoming groups and that is what is tearing us apart.  People now want to be hyphenated Americans.  For this country to get back to where we were, the -Americans need to become just Americans, especially the children who were born here.  This is your home, embrace it and become an AMERICAN!!!

 Soccer is one of those sports in the U.S. that never became as popular as people thought it would. We have so many distractions with American Football, Basketball, Baseball, Hockey, Tennis, NASCAR, Boxing, etc.  We have every sport you can think of, so it really cuts down on the Soccer fan base. It's unfortunate because it's one of those sports that the rest of the world embraces. In order to be competitive in any sport, you have to have the talent and coaching. We have neglected the sport for so many years that we need to understand that its going to take time to build a solid power house that will able to defeat the likes of Germany, Spain, Italy, Brazil & Argentina consistently. I think that playing in the region that we do has helped us gain confidence but we should be dominating the teams we play every time we play them because of the large amount of talent poole that we now have. The new generation of kids have embraced it and its popularity is definitely on the rise. The question is whether it will ever be "top dog" in the U.S.??  I really don't think so....!!  I think Americans will watch the World Cup more and see how the U.S. team does and show strong support in International matches but its going to take a monumental event to rally the whole country behind the sport. If the U.S. were to win the World Cup in South Africa, then I think it would win the heart of the American people and Soccer would finally have its rightful place in American Sports. We will only get better with time but we are not quite there yet..!!

 It can be boring....it all depends on who is playing!!  In my opinion, the South American teams like Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, Peru, Uruguay are all very exciting to watch because of the aggressive, wide open- attacking style that they play. The European style is more physical and aggressive which leads to more fouls- this slows the game down and makes it boring. The MLS and the U.S. team in general need to adapt a wide open aggressive style of play that can also hang with the physical teams like Germany, Italy and England. They need an identity...once they have that- they then need to implement it and win something of major significance, like a World Cup and then the fan base will follow. The NFL will always be "Top Dog" in the U.S. but the MLS and the U.S. National Team can have huge success once the Championships starting coming in. I would like to see them do it so we can show the rest of the world that there is no sport that we can not dominate. I think Soccer is the only one left that we haven't conquered....yet but we will in time..!!
