Sooner or later the English will have to do what the Dutch and French (and yes, the Romanians and Portuguese) have done, which is to start thinking about football as an intellectual exercise and not something that a manager just sends 11 blokes out to do.

We need to channel our kids' energies into more productive activities: baseball, football, tennis, MTV -- even smoking would be an improvement.Soccer is draining America of the next generation's talent in the sports that really matter.

We have made incredible strides in part because we are Americans. It's discipline, it's expectation, it's work ethic. It is ingrained in us that we can achieve things that no one else can. One day we will prove that in this sport. One day we will win a world championship. And you know why? Because Americans won't rest until they do.Steve Sampson, US National Team coach

The coaches get awards when players perform and they get an Amtrak schedule when they don't.Bob Gansler
Complaining about boring football is a little like complaining about the sad ending of King Lear: It misses the point somehow.Nick Hornby, Fever Pitch
