in England v U.S.: Why Brits Hate U.S. Soccer Fans on EPL Talk
Yeah, other than lose the final - to arguably the best team in this hemisphere in Pachuca - MLS teams were absolutely terrible in SuperLiga. Please.

And yeah, all we did in 2006 was be the only team NOT to lose to the world champs. The fact that a talented team didn't play up to its expectations is nothing new. How about those Frenchies in 2002?

While the USSF and MLS is a long ways from being the FA and the EPL, it is nothing more than a great example of English arrogance to ignore the growth and success that the US and its club teams have enjoyed since 1990.

This is nothing new - England has looked down its nose at the rest of the world for generations, and not just about soccer. The only difference is, once again, the Americans won't just sulk away and be quiet.

And it may not happen today. Probably won't (Nate Jaqua?). But the US will be more than just competitive with the mighty English soon enough. (Unfortunately, then the American bandwagoners will probably jump on and be just as arrogant.... ugh.)
