In consecutive days, I've outscored my opponents 281-79. Not just any teams, but the 4 time champions of the NBBA followed by the top team in Tunisia.


Just an ordinary Tuesday & Wednesday for:
BuzzerBeater's #1 Offense


(this may seem like i'm boasting in a forum, just like in your USA-Italy soccer example, but it's completely different. my fans & friends don't know where your wall is for starters.)

Coco exaggerates...

...Italy is still the superior side, but they have regressed a bit the last few years. USA has improved.

This isn't a DIV team against KDB. This is more like me beating KDB...still generally not gonna happen, but not a ridiculous proposal...

had time to organize themselves.

You mean because of all the time the US's two biggest stars have had to play with the current manager's tactics?

The US over perform in quality/participant ratio in my opinion. e.g. in England, Italy etc, 90% of kids play football, but the coaching and facilities, on the whole, are rubbish compared to the US, where maybe more like 20% of kids play football (and then choose to go on to american football/baseball/basketball instead).

As such, i think the US overperforms overall. They did well at the Confed Cup which can be taken any way, however they did get to the quarters in 06 and the last 16 in 10, so something is going right.

Yeah, but 20% of the US is more than 90% of england by population.

Which is also why, ultimately, MLS will succeed. We don't need to match participation rates of european countries to still have greater viewership (and therefore, $$) than some of those leagues.
