a salesman on commision you would be more broke than a 1988 yugo--as I said before "North America" as countries participating in soccer or world cup have not even once been in the round of 4-Yes United States soccer has improved immensely but you take the U.S. or ANY other country in North America and it would take them more than 28 years to even catch up to Brazil (world cup every 4 yrs. -Brazil 5x winners--5x4=20 plus two time 1st place(extremely respectable) --thats 28 yrs. of soccer dominance by any country from North America--wish is possible but VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY unlikely the odds would be something like 1,000,000,000 to one!!!!!--Colombia did not go to last world cup--very true--they needed 1 more goal then Uruguay--last qualifying game Colombia beat Paraguay --4 to 0. United States goes becasue CONCACAF is not very good. The only slight competion is Mexico perhaps Costa Rica and once in a blue moon Jaimaica--Belize, Nicaragua, Panama, Haiti, Canada, El Salvador, Trinidad and Tobago, Honduras, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Bermuda, Aruba, etc......has had maybe 1 or 2 "stars" (and that is stretching it) in its soccer history Brazil and Argentina as well as other South American countries has literally thousands ( for real ask a Brazilian--he'll name a few hundred)--listen you are a duplicate of my Mexican friends--lol--they say they have been to the world cup more times than Colombia (about 10 to 4) but without counting the last world cup Mexico has had more losses and one of the worst records in world cup history--again when Colombia has gone to the world cup 4x competing with Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Parguay, Chile --that has more merit than U.S. or Mexico going with competion like El Salvador (they went one time and lost 9-1! look at the history of world cup) or copetition like Haiti who dont even have a stadium (not dogging my Carribean amigos) but its no comparison--listen talk about something you know if you want any more of my time--because de futbol no sabes nada--lol --P.S.--I loved and rooted for that U.S. victory over Mexico--great game--God bless you--Colman beeeee
