Youtube ENGAGE!!!

Oh and yeah, pretty much 42/42.

EDIT - 41/42 I don't have a Dos - Cero tattoo.

Almost all....except #3. I've hated Lalas since the beginning

THAT GERMANY HANDBALL GIF ARGH RAAAAAAGE

(but nice find)

Never liked Lalas or Jones.


Huge Tab Ramos fan and Claudio Reyna seemed to be all over the field.

Only 30ish for me. I'm no old.

How can you not like Cobi Jones?

I never liked Cobi Jones's hair as per the list, but I am a big fan for two reasons:

1. He always gave mexico fits
2. He is the only American I know of that has played for a major Brazilian club.

41 out of 42
number 36 got me...but 37 didnt

and nothing makes me madder the the words Koman Coulibaly...except perhaps for Frings non handball in 2002

And the no goal vs Slovenia in 2010.

I honestly don't know why I didn't like him before. His hair definitely bugged me but I never understood everyone's fascination with him. I always thought he was overrated. There was probably a player or tie that u wanted to see play more instead of him but I don't know for sure....that was a long time ago!

I always felt Lalas was a novelty and that's why people liked him. He also drove me nuts with his complete homer job as an analyst.

I was up there, just can't agree on Bradley over ANYONE. A lot of em, yes. Anyone, no.

And while that ad list is great, Good vs Evil is WAY too low and how do they leave off Nike's Secret Mission?

IT WASN'T EDDIE POPE WHO GOT THE RED AGAINST ITALY IT WAS PABLO MASTROENI! COME ON!

Also, I was NEVER skeptical of Michael Bradley.

#5 is definitely true, but only for World Cup Cobi, not 5-10 years later.

Disagree on 13 and 14. Good in their sport is different than being good period.
Never skeptical of bradley, been a backer of his since the beginning
Disagree with 29
Disagree with 30(because they were awful, hard not to remember)
36. no tattoo
40. that's what paid vacation is for


I guess the story is, don't really care about woman's soccer.

All that BS about the women's game lost me, otherwise was good

hate on some parts of the women's game if you will, but that Wambach goal in 2011 WC was amazing

Only 2/42... the last 2

Yes it was...as was Morgan's goal against Canada in the Olympics. That game was extremely entertaining to watch.

Not hating on it, it just doesn't interest me.

The USWNT vs Brazil in 2011 with all of its drama and crazy is the most exciting soccer match I've ever watched.

Unjust red card, penalty saved then called back for bull**** and retaken, Rapinoe's amazing cross that Wambach headed in in the last minute of stoppage time in overtime, then winning it on penalties....I was going nuts that whole game.

31

what mid90 said. very, very entertaining watch it was.

Not 42/42 on this. Disagree on several but yes! for 26, 27, 40, 41. I used to be skeptical of MB, but a huge fan now.

No for 3,5,6, 30, 34. #6 I think Timeh had a spectacular crazy-man performance v Spain in the Confed. Cup. 2009.

There is no room for disagreement on #6. If you disagree with #6 you are either a terrorist or a Canadian. Keller didn't just make saves, his saves were absolutely ridiculous. I believe Romario called it the best performance he's ever seen by a goalie.

100% agree Dre, greatest performance I have ever seen by a keeper.
