Seriously SCEE WTF? These aren't 'HUGE' announcements, one of them is pure BS

Yesterday SCEE claimed that they would have some 'HUGE' announcements on their blog today. And one of them is arguably 'OK' in terms of a Killzone 3 gameplay trailer but the other is complete childish BS not worthy of the hype. Essentially if USA beat England today in the world cup than the EU blog will have to put an American flag up on the blog. Now that's 'HUGE' news isn't it? Honestly, we don't care about two guys who don't care about football (one who calls England 'Great Britain') that seek to play silly games online. MaxConsole expected better from you SCEE and don't pull this sh*t again and abuse trust in the brand.

[waltyftm]

The USA dont stand a chance against the might of Roony and co, Going to predict a 3-0 win to England.

[DelbertGrady]

I predict an overhyped english team failing like they usually do in the World Cup.

[asdf12]

I predict an unhyped USA team losing their first game, and failing to qualify past the group stages.

[tdrules]

US Tactics At Sports:
1) Make country
2) Suck at internationally recognised sports
3)Invent own sports
4) Call one of the tournaments the World Series and only invite themselves and a country who probably don't stand a chance.
5) Be good at them

[Boy3000]

Lol got to agree that England ALWAYS dissapoints at the world cup lol.

[bjornbear]

i wouldn't speak...sweden didn't even make it =x, and england are ok tbh this year, but its unfair to say USA will loose

then again, this is a very big anti-climax, but since there were 2 announcements, this has to be the sh!tty one.

however, writer sounds like a butthurt fool

big deal, this isn't THAT bad

[GrieverSoul]

lol

Dont worry! If US cant do it, Portugal will crush the England´s team ambitions like they always do...

Hehehe...

I kid, I kid... ;)

[spectyre]

Who sucks at internationally recognized sports?

[Montrealien]

I predict soccer sucks. Sorry world, NA don't care about watching someone jog 45 miles in 90 minutes with the occasional OOO! Ahhhhhh! ;P

Hocker > Soccer deal!

/on topic

With that said, it would be funny to watch the US beat England.

@spectyre

not enough golds, Canada > US

CANADA! CANADA!! lol

@tdrules

No need to be a US hating internet hipster, we all know Basketball and hockey totally blow soccer out of the water, I understand, little to fast for you Europeans, amirite? or amirite? rite?

[tdrules]

hehe because football doesn't eclipse every single sport that you won a medal for.

@Montrealian

I couldn't be a hipster if I tried, I make pensioners look trendy.
I do not hate the US, I hate it's peoples arrogance.
and Basketball/Hockey are nowhere near the popularity of Football, maybe if you jumped out of your bubble you would realise that 300m people do not equal the whole world

[Conloles]

England will draw Capello sucks

who is the arrogant one?

lol And trust me, I know soccer is more popular, if only by default since it is a sport that is as old as time. I know, you wanna stick to your old guns, teaching a old dog new tricks is a hard thing to do. And maybe, just maybe, I prefer hockey over soccer, I respect you prefer soccer, I just feel the need to remind you that not all of us do.

And if I am not mistaken, N4G taught me one thing. Like a videogame, just because it is more popular, it does not make is better. Amirite? or amirite? rite?

And I am Canadian, we barely have 30 million. You do know where Montreal is don't you? And I find nothing is funnier then a European thinking he his teaching us something by reminding a North American that the world is not NA. Your horse is so high I think your head is touching a cloud.

[mcgrawgamer]

@tdrules
Hey friend I'm from the good ole US of A and I'm not arrogant at all. Please don't put the majority of the populous in the same category of the few in whom you speak of with arrogance.

[DaTruth]

I knew that was coming soon!

I predict a 0-0 tie in every game! I will be right 51% of the time! I don't know what you people see in this sport! But what do I know, I only watch Tennis!

[Shang-Long]

Td.. You kinda fail....

There's the worlds and thatS international basketball which the USA is good at, and baseball worlds which is USA and japan. The USA are always top three in gold medals and all around metals in the olympics. Do you list.. Althrough funny isn't correct. But I'm a soccer player and fan so USA beating England not Likely but possible.

[spectyre]

Fortunately for me, I don't feel the need to badmouth a whole country just to make myself feel superior.

Of course, this is the way of the world now. Other countries teach their citizens to hate the U.S. so you are so to distracted to feel the ass-raping you are receiving from your own govt. It works so well, they are even trying it over here now.

[Boy3000]

I think tdrules was kidding, I took it as a joke.

[pody]

@spectyre

Hey smartass.
Check out gold medalist of all-time and then you will see what country is the real deal. Guess what? It's not USA!

And btw, both Canada and Germany both beat USA in gold medallion race in Vancouver OL.

[Danteh]

Spain is gonna win this World Cup, it's our moment with xavi, cesc, torres, pique.... fuck yea

Oh and USA has no chance against England :P

[Persistantthug]

Neither Basketball nor Hockey were invented in the US. While the US didn't win the Gold, they far from sucked, obviously. Basketball though, its barely worth trying to put up an arguement against the US

The winter games is not typically where the US shines the brightest, but it certainly Shines pretty darn good winning the most medals in 2010.

And for the record US pwns every summer olympics...US didn't "invent" that either.

[Foliage]

That's cute spectyre, you American's go by total medals to make yourselves feel better... how are those bronze medals treating you (you know those medals that the losers get, like the silver ones)?

The rest of the world, including the Olympic committee themselves go by strictly gold medals. In which case you got creamed by Canada.

In fact, America used to go by gold alone also, until China creamed you guys a few years ago and you switched to total medals.

Sad really, you guys are incredibly poor losers.

[nix]

aww... look fanboys. how cute!

but seriously... one of the 'big' announcement was pretty lame!

[Sm0k3y_Bac0n]

@boy3000.

Apart from 1966.

[wages of sin]

I predict angry Euro trash complaining on N4G.

[spectyre]

I'm not saying "USA owns all sports"... I was simply pointing out that the US does do well in "internationally recognized sports". I just did a quick search and that was the first results. In fact, about the only winter olympic sport I care about is hockey. USA and Canada went tooth and nail on that one and Canada showed they were the better team.

[BWS1982]

have it fine. I'm tired of coming to an international site and being hated on because of where I was born. It's sickening, and the salt in the wound is that the very same people accusing me, AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT MEETING ME, of arrogance and ignorance have the audacity to say the spiteful and vicious things they do. Who's the truly arrogant and ignorant, now? Perhaps you should judge each person on their actions (like I'm doing to you) and not what land mass they were born on. And YES, tdrules and Foilage, you're a load of haters who have no right to make the allegations you do seeing as how you fit the very bill you're trying to pass. You have lost all credibility in calling anybody inferior.

The hatred is atrocious, it's all a bunch of hypocrisy. There are a-holes and good people in every country. Try to judge people, not nationalities.

[Spydr07]

Wow, some people in here talk a lot of crap. Pathetic. I'm betting most of you are fat and sit on the comfort of your chair while real people who hold true pride for your country defends it.

So many foreigners bash the U.S. and its people for the arrogance inherent within. But by doing that you're only displaying your own arrogance and lack of overall maturity. Say what you want about the U.S., but how many billions have been spent on the rest of the world of America's money?

I'm a PROUD member of the military and have shed blood and tears for my faith and patriotism whilst wannabes like many of you talk crap about other nations merely out of principle alone. You know nothing of true pride.

Any country in this world can be bashed ad nauseum thru nearly every angle of attack imaginable due to historic mistakes and corrupt government regimes(if you think your govt isn't corrupt...they all are). Many kings of precious England are prime examples of this. I won't even get into the atrocities of Germany...

How many women were raped by the British as they invaded other lands when they had power? Or the Spanish? At least the U.S. doesn't go around slaughtering every living thing in a country, raping all of the women and claiming the territory for their own. Say what you will about the U.S., but when your home countries had the power (if it ever did), you all acted far worse than the U.S. ever has. From Italy and Greece, to England, all you ever did with power was murder and rape for the sole purpose of expanding your pathetic empires. The acts of which have been printed in as many languages as religion.

And sports? Really? You know soccer isn't the only sport in the world. Football, basketball, tennis, golf, baseball, boxing, track and MMA are all sports off the top of my head that have had very dominant Americans in it if not nearly completely dominated by the country.

The majority of all track world records are by African countries, Japan, and the U.S. The U.S. holds more swimming world records than any other country. Not to mention the Olympics.

Wanna talk gold medals and how the U.S. didn't win the most? Ok, well, we did win the most silver and bronze. So, while not winning the gold does mean we "lost", in a sense, more than Germany and Canada, we still didn't get outright CREAMED as much as they did because we placed in the top 3 a lot more. Just shows that while you peaked higher, your athletic well-roundedness is severely lacking.

So, yeah, go kick your soccer ball around...it's not like you're doing anything lucrative to this websites purpose like making good games...which the U.S. does how much better than Germany and Canada? Don't worry, Germans, when it comes to slaughtering the helpless is where you truly succeed. Canada doesn't do anything lucrative for the rest of the world, so who cares?

Wonder how many disagrees I get in a U.S. hating website?

[Sm0k3y_Bac0n]

Americans really can't take the moral high ground over other countries. Britain murdered to create an empire, but Americans did to create their country. How many natives were killed during the creation of the USA?

Yes the Romans attacked other lands, but at least they bought technology and other improvements instead of dropping a nuke and killing over 100,000 people.

Americans made a lot of money from loans given out to countries fighting Hitler, and only became militarily involved after an attack on their homeland. Britain and France fought against Hitler because he attacked Poland and Britain joined WW1 after Germany attacked Belgium.

The list goes on, and I could go into Californian businesses financing Nazi genetic experiments. Germans slaughtered Jews, but you payed for it. For everything another large country has done it's past America has done something just as bad.

[Spydr07]

And who was responsible for that? Hmm, Columbus was Italian and the pilgrims were from the great murderous empire of England. America didn't materialize until much later. Initially it was just murdering the inhabitants of this new land and spreading disease. You can also bring up slavery all you want. While it was wrong, it wasn't limited to America alone. Slavery was a worldwide epidemic and even approved of in the Christian bible. So that would be a moot point.

That's like blaming Mexicans for murdering the indigenous tribes in Mexico. Since...well...a Mexican is just the offspring of an Indian woman raped by a Spaniard (in general, some pure Spanish and indigenous blood could still be present, tho it's mostly Mestizo now).

It wasn't America's idea to murder all the Native Americans back then (since "Americans" didn't exist at the time). It was the British. In terms of world atrocities and corruption, we still fare far better than nearly every other superpower in history.

My point is this: get off your high horse on the so-called American arrogance. It's not like ANY European country who held such power was any less arrogant or less ruthless. They were all more ruthless and savage.

I'm guessing you meant "brought" tech, not bought. So, you're saying no Americans have enhanced the technology of the world? Really? That's naive. No American inventors...I didn't know that.

And yes, the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing were unfortunate. We were baited into that war...I can't say much in the defense of it. But if the ruthless Caesars or Kings would have had the tech, there's no doubt they'd have bombed everyone into the ground to rain supreme. Their hunger was for power...greed at its finest.

So, we should have just given money to countries fighting Hitler? In terms of economic rebuilding, America has done more than any other superpower. We've given more money, rebuilt more areas, and given people to volunteer in times of crisis. Would Hitler have help the people in Haiti? Or Julius Caesar (and he wasn't even the most ruthless)? One of England's terrible kings or queens? No. They would have annexed the area, looted it, raped and murdered its people.

The native tribes were no different with their greed.

To my understanding, yes, we did help fund Germany's Human Eugenics research. We invented the "Nazi" style of thinking, basically. As it grew with us, it blew up there. But as a country as a whole, an entire government body never sent mass amounts of cash to Nazi's after it all blew up. We weren't paying for them to make more tanks and guns to kill people.

You paint a one-sided picture--making it seem like the U.S. said, "Oh, you need more guns? Here's $4 billion." and that's not the case.

The fact that the Supreme Court endorsed (to a degree) the Nazi way of thinking is sickening. But we didn't actually try to murder all races on the planet that didn't fit a Nordic stereotype. So don't put the U.S. on that level.

[Danteh]

spydr07 It's not that we hate america, it's that some americans think that they are the best in sports, but their football (aka soccer) team sucks balls :P (no pun intended)

And the FIFA Football World Cup is the single most watched event in the world, with a record of 1100 million people watching at the 2002 Germany-Brazil final

[Sm0k3y_Bac0n]

I wasn't talking about the British coming over and and killing the natives. They were still being ostracised and oppressed when America was America.

I dont know why you bought slavery up. America was one of the last major countries to abolish it and black people were oppressed for years after the abolition. The bible probably does say it's fine to enslave, but religion is that open to interpretation it can be used to justify anything.

I could spend all day arguing over the actions of America compared to the rest of the world. My point is that even though some countries may have done worse, a lot of their actions can't be defended. Others are more shades of grey (Money lending/donations, Marshall Aid.)

I just don't think that arguing that killing 100s of 1000s of innocent people is OK, just because other countries have done worse. Other countries actions can be called out all you want, but that does not make American actions right.

[Spydr07]

Agreed. The historic wrongdoings of any nation cannot be ignored less they be repeated...

My point is simply, how can you condemn the U.S. for being so bad and horrid when every country to hold a similar amount of power has done no better? Like I said before, every government in the world is corrupt. I made no exceptions.

[BWS1982]

you don't hate Americans, but 90 percent of "American" talk is out of sheer and utter hatred, nothing less. I come here all the time and see it, Americans are judged to harsher standards, and lumped in to some pile of filth, simply because of a few loud mouths.

Guess what, I acknowledge "soccer" is more popular than my fav sport (basketball) and I like soccer a lot too, in fact, I played it for 6 years as a kid. I still like it, but happen to enjoy another sport more. That doesn't make me ignorant, arrogant or deserving of hatred, but you know what? On this and many other forums it does. It's all over, it's ridiculous. There are jerks in every country, and that means America is no different, but don't pretend Americans somehow deserve the ludicrous blanket statements they get. We're all different, and we have a plethora of good people.

It's people like TDrules who despise a nationality and smear them relentlessly that often ends up making some Americans worse than they already are. Many of my countrymen will read his words and only increase their own arrogance and it's a shame, because at that point, neither side is helping the issue. It would be so much simpler if the act of judging someone ONLY on their actions--not their nationality or color or religion--was all we employed. One can dream, though, right?

[Neurotoxin]

While i think we`1l beat the US (though it will be a tough match), we don't stand a chance in the later stages. England players are a victim of media hype train, i`m sure in other countries these players aren't excelled into godlike figures! Thats why the little countries do well, the players are actual in it for the glory for their country!

[TheBand1t]

And no one in the US will care

[Krugsy]

Well according to some of the comments within this discussion, there are some who care. Plus the hype the US news media is giving it.

[DaKid]

I think a lot of the Hype is from Disney they have tons invested into broadcasting the games.

[Nykamari]

They will care after they beat England today! Just like their fans the English team is too cocky and will be defeated 3/0! Remember that English fighter whom they thought was going to beat Maywheather. What happen to him? I don't even think he fight anymore, he was just too cocky going into that fight and got HAMMERED! The USA will win their first World Cup, beating England will just give the momentum they need!

[PS360PCROCKS]

Sadly no the U.S. doesn't care. But I do and I'm from the U.S. so whatever, not all of us don't care. The world cup is awesome.

[shadow2797]

Hype in the news media? I watch the news fairly regularly, especially the sports section. I watch ESPN and Sportscenter. I had no idea the US was playing England until I read this article... In fact, I wasn't even quite sure the US made it in the tournament at all.

The US news media doesn't care either.

[thematrix1298]

US Media == Hide all the losing and wrong doing. This is US democratic for ya!

[webeblazing]

naw they dont have to cover up anything most americans dont care even if we win the cup we stil dont i dont even remember the last time somebody even talking about i think it was in hs a girl was trying to get me to go to the school game cause they hardly sell tickets. good luck to yall teams tho. different strokes 4 different fokes.

[II Necroplasm II]

I'm a big Tim Howard fan.

[paradigmfellow]

Hey I have faith in my team. US team will win......... in reality I am hoping for a draw.

[tdrules]

who is the arrogant one?
I don't know, you're the one who jumped in and said because football is older and more popular it is inferior to hockey/basketball.
meh I'm coming off here, got some footy to watch!

[Montrealien]

you recieve what you give bud, you new here or something? Don't dish it out if you can't take it in return, this is all in good fun.

Enjoy the World Cup, I know I will.

ALLEZ LES BLEUS!!! ;)

[AliTheBrit19]

I got £10 on England to win

I would have bet much more, but I need the money to buy lots of beer ;)

USA is going to be slaughtered, raped, destroyed hahahaha can't wait to see it

COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MexicanAppleThief]

£50 here for England to score the first goal AND win the match. COME ON ENGLAND!!!

[Jack-Pyro]

GO YOU LIMEY BASTARDS GO!!! =D

lol, I kid, The reality of the matter is that the English team is better prepared and have more experience, making them the most likely to win.

That said, I would love for the US to pull something out of its hat, it would be very cool.

[Captain Tuttle]

Go go Montrealien !!

[Jellzy]

The same England that only beat Japan 2-1 due to 2 own goals? ;)

[shadow2797]

Really? That's hilarious!

[Ares84PS3]

That beat Germany 5-0 a few years back. Yeah...those guys.

[kanetheking]

ant it all about winning.a win is a win no way around it

[BYE]

The same England that got dominated by Croatia and as a result couldn't qualify for Euro 2008.

England is good against big teams and have trouble against weaker teams. I'd say USA have a shot.

[Snakefist30]

Dude It's World Cup Anything Cud Happen.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Boooo GO USA!

[TROLL EATER]

usa beatin england is bigger than killzone 3 trailer lool

[Ares84PS3]

Football(soccer) >>>>>>>&g t;you>>>>dog crap>>>>>>NB A, NHL, MLB.

The number one sport on this planet is Football (you call it soccer). Like it or not, the World Cup is the biggest sport event there is. Even the EU cup is way bigger than any US championship games and way more people watch it.

Just because you live in your little world it doesn't mean that the "sports" you know are the best there is.

[thematrix1298]

Agreed. Football the world game, American football is so lame. The most beautiful game and most played == REAL FOOTBALL.

[RefuelTheFire]

We call it soccer, because it is not the most popular form of football in our country. There are three major forms in the world: Association Football, Rugby, and Gridiron Football. Soccer is in fact short for asSOCiation football. Gridiron is the most popular form here in America, so we call it football and association football, soccer. Rugby evolved from soccer, and gridiron evolved from rugby. Gridiron is just further down the evolutionary line.

BTW, Just because I am American does not mean that I do not follow the world's sports. I love soccer, cycling, open-wheel racing, and rugby. Sport is a beautiful thing, all sports are beautiful in their own way. None is superior, though I do have my preferences. There are two things that define one's culture, his language and his sports.

[Ares84PS3]

Dude, I live in the US too. I know not all people live in a bubble here but most do. Most people here think that the best sports are Baseball and Basketball and American Football. They aren't the best sports out there. I'm not saying they are bad. Sport is sport. What I'm just trying to tell all these imbeciles that stop hating on football (soccer) and start acknowledging that it is in fact the most played and loved sport on this planet and the World Cup is the biggest sporting even on planet earth and stop pretending that the MLB World Series is an actually world series because it's not. It's a national championship and that's all. So is the Superball....it's not as big of an even as the World Cup....not even as big as the EU Cup.

Basically what I'm saying is that people in the US should start caring about football(soccer).

[thematrix1298]

I live in Canada too. I think we can do much better in world stage if most people would care and spend time/money on Football. We just need to kick start that fever then domino effect will continue. Before you know it we'll be a very strong competitive football club.

[RefuelTheFire]

People from several different nationalities compete in Major League Baseball including the United States, Canada, Venezuela, Columbia, Curacao (home to Andruw Jones, yes thats how he spells it), Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Cuba, Australia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Germany, Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and there a couple from India (former cricket players) in the minor league system. Also it is the premier baseball league in the world, much like the NBA is the premier basketball league, F1 the premier open wheel championship (which truly is a different sport from stock car racing). The club who wins the World Series is going to be the best club in the world. The second strongest league in the world would be Nippon Professional Baseball in Japan. There is a reason their stars like Hideki Matsui, Ichiro Suzuki, Hideo Nomo, Kazuo Matsui come over here, while Americans Randy Bass and Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes (people who could not cut it in the minor league system) were challenging league records over in the NPB.

Anyways, the match is about to start. Go USA!!! Let's repeat 1950!

[vhero]

Wow 2 pretty fail announcements in the Huge factor.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Football Soccer on USA is underrated.

[MmaFanQc]

Canada beat usa.....and honestly.....only gold medals matter.

[lve2playbball]

@td rules

Oh I'm sorry I thought this was America...Yeah us Amerrricans are so damn arrogant, I can't stand us. We suck at sports, our economy sucks, the world hates us, and we're the world's sole superpower. Damn we suck. (@sarcasm)
...I'm with Montrealien
...The world loves to hate the top dawg, that's just how it is. Get to know history, it might teach you something. It wasn't so long ago that England was the big kid on the street, same with France. @tdrules--people love to hate.

[RuPaul]

Soccer sucks but it's funny that the USA team is tied with Great Britain! USA USA USA USA USA USA!!! Great Britain will fail just like the EURO!

[DORMIN]

Its pretty funny seeing these comments knowing the US vs England game ended in a tie!

Also whats with the butthurt article? Announcing 4 big games in 4 weeks wasn't enough for you?
/facepalm

[SpLinT]

hahaha maxconsole.net , u mad/? crybabies " dont pull this shi*t aagain!! abuse!!" hahahah what are you gonna do about it.

[Consoldtobots]

when I look up "choke artist" in my dictionary it says "see england national football(soccer) team".

[DEATHSTROKE-cro-]

WTF !?
that was just a comment from Rubenstein and not one of THAT 2 HUGE announcements.
I don't even think Killzone 3 trailer was one of that announcements because they
already said we will see the trailer today.

[Tony-A]

I was thinking the same. That's just something small between the two of them, not some announcements. The announcements are probably coming soon. It's still, like, 2 in the morning over there.

[WildArmed]

lol another articles desperately trying for hits?
I think so!

QUICK! It's been 2 hours into the day! Lets not wait for the day to end!
/s

[asdf12]

They haven't announced anything, the Killzone trailer was yesterday, and the WC is the biggest thing happening in the world right now, so you'd guess a blogger would comment on it.

[tedthegamer]

Looks like this is it plus a SOCOM trailer. SCEE said it will be announced by Saturday morning GMT and this time has now passed for them.

[Tommykrem]

These might be the announcements, but this article isn't good enough by far. First, get a title that doesn't include "WTF" and "BS" N4G should be serious business. And even though morning has passed this should be looked upon as speculation. "Is these the announcements?" would be a better way to put it.

So keep reporting.

[tedthegamer]

I think it is fine. SCEE has teased 'big things' and this was all it is. I just hope they don't start doing this all the time over nothing becuz I expected SCEE not to hit such lows.

[Hazmat13]

lol look at all you gamers most people who work at SCEA are not 24/7 gamers some like sports so i give kudos supporting an american soccer team shame an all you. on a side note when will they release a Motorstorm3 trailer??

[bub16]

I don't care about the football. but the writer of this post needs to grow up and stop getting so excited when they make an announcement and it didn't say "HUGE" it said "huge"

[Baka-akaB]

it's a blog , he's excited , blog are made for that kind of crap , get over it

[MGRogue2017]

England lost.. :(

Anyway, Which one is more tastier: Apples or Oranges?

Agree with me: Apples

Disagree with me: Oranges

[MechaGear]

Zeus, is such a r3t4rd. He is prone to write every BS that you possibly can imagine.
And by the way, Greece is about to loose to South Korea. Maybe thats what's pissing him off.

[Ether]

The other one was something about Socom 4, not this US vs. England.

[Kingdom Come]

Who said they were the announcements?

[KazumaKiryu]

maxconsole, what a bunch whiny babies. Calling SCEE childish when they're the ones acting childish. Morons.

[Gigalol]

yankee are superior.

[MexicanAppleThief]

Now I know you're a troll. England going to cream the US.

[II Necroplasm II]

looks like Robert Green creamed himself.

[Gish]

I will be watching because of there being beer involved. I respect that the rest of the world loves soccer, but personally find it not too exciting. Any sport that frequently ends in a tie frustrates me to no end ( i am looking at you too hockey!) Luckily American sports for the most part have taken note of this and have overtimes. I would like soccer so much more if they had an overtime of some sort. Extra time, shootout, whatever just finish the game. In any case GO USA! I will drink a beer in support!

[Senden]

ENGGGEERRRRRLLLLAAAAANNNN!!! O the game would be epic if the yanks were any good.. still beating them at "soccer" will be mildly amusing and certainly won't hamper the cheers in any way.

[Stinkey]

All the way. Even with out Ferdinand and a shakey James in Goal, I can't see a guy who comes off the bench for a relegated HUll City doing too much to worry Terry and the guys. Plus Rooney (my #1) is better the Buddle Altidor Donnavon and Dempsy put together Lampard and Gerrad are class as well. Despite England being famous for disappointing I know that their going to come out with 3 points.
@ Gish Thats why there is a point system and there are more matches that end up in a win than a draw.

[AliTheBrit19]

The guy who wrote the article is probably American, and therefore doesn't understand what a big deal the World Cup is.

England will win, pretty obviously.

And who gives a crap what the USA likes? haha The World Cup is the single biggest sporting even on the planet, and to win it is the most prestigious win you can get in sports, its amazing, I'm glad America aren't as involved, they just turn up and lose -

And then go back to playing crappy sports in there own country.

[reckoner]

Calm down with all the hostility. It's just a game.

[cliffbo]

I don't care for sports.

[Anon7349]

I just play games, and not sports games either.

I was starting to think I was the only one on N4G that actually played games. Anyways, Agree, Bubble Up, ect

[xg-ei8ht]

I'm from england, Was born here a long time ago, when the valleys stretched as far as the eye could see. Where the towns of old would glimmer in the darkness, sorry was getting carried away.

I don't think most people hate america, allegiance to the flag is what happens in alot of countries. It just gets overdone in american movies.

It's a diverse nation, much like the UK now.

Do i think england is a good football nation, yes. Do the players do the national team credit, nope.

I don't think their is the honour of old.

They know for their club they get money money money and that's all people care about these days tbh.

I watched france last night and they were very poor. If they'd played a decent side, they'd have been destroyed.

I expect germany, portugal, brazil, spain, to do very well.

I'm hoping, england and holland do well.

But if your a football fan, you'll love watching the games, if your not, you won't.

[squallheart]

look im from the usa and even i can see that americans are arrogant. I still dont see why people belive basketbal, hokey, and football are exiciting. Do you know why soccer is so popular¿ Its because each goal means something you pretty much have to fight to make one and when ypu do the crowd explodes. Other sports you just run back and forth like one of those old racing car toys that goes around in circles. Oh and one of the reasons soccer is not popular in the usa i believe is people have short attention spans hence why we have all these fps games. Oh wait the media calls it add here

[ReBurn]

Just goes to show that people on N4G can argue about anything...lol!

[DarkSpawnClone]

WTF!! this isn't about games... Games OR GTFO!!!

[Focker420]

Would you rather hear 100 people complain that the writer is an uninformed douche, and that the announcements haven't even been announced yet??

It only takes one person to tell ya that.

[George Sears]

Boston Celtics vs Los Angeles Lakers > Lame Soccer US vs England

Win or lose I don't give a shit about soccer.

[fucadastates]

wow all are firet up for the world cup!
the biggest event in the world.
the champions leauge is the most watched event evry year beating the super bowl.. american football... run stop commercial, run stop commercial, run stop commercial, and we need alot of gear.. watch som rugby - thats evil!

but you have baseball, and the world series.... and amercia has won evry year right?? great job america, to win evry year in a WORLD event. its fantastisk... maby somday a country besides amercia will win, but i dubt it...

[squallheart]

lol

[RefuelTheFire]

America winning the World Series, that is like saying England will win the Premier League. Clubs compete in the World Series, not countries. Shows how little you truly know about baseball. By the way the Toronto (as in Canada) Blue Jays won the World Series in 1992 and 1993.

[Tzuno]

LOL is that the best that Sony can do?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Sounds like someone's a little scared for Tuesday...

:)

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Sony is supporting the Sports, which is something important.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Let's settle our differences by having a tournament where every country comes together and plays multiple sports to see who the best country is.

Wanna have a "redo" on the Olympics?

Sorry, Brits...but we already proved to you that we freakin' rock! Also...we beat you in the Revolution.

Too soon?

I can't believe no one has mentioned BP. Haha. I really like BP though.

@fucadastates - We beat every country at every sport but soccer. :) It's just not as big here. I personally like soccer, but it's still not America's thing. American Idol will get more views than the Cup.

You know, we have rugby here too. My high school had a rugby team. The reason the superbowl is run, stop, commercial, repeat...is that the commercials are just as anticipated as the game. They're entertaining. Using ratios, the superbowl is more watched in America than the World Cup is watched in any country.

[squallheart]

you know once we mexicans start taking over california more soccer will be the most popular sport in the country xD

[Dusdg]

You are wrong good sir. We will just get you drunk and make you watch a real sport. Its hard to get away from american football.

[wicko]

Except Hockey right? Cuz, pretty sure Canada smoked the US in 2010 winter olympics. Crazy!

[monkey nuts]

I can't believe no ones mentioned Halyburton, the american oil company that was renting the rig from bp. Its harsh how the US media is slamming bp when they were not at fault. If a landlord rents a house out and the tennent blows it up accidentally does the landlord then get punished for something he had little control over? Let the brain washing continue........
OT-- England have a glorious history of under achievement in the euros/ worlds. 1-1 draw with the US seems ok on paper, but when you factor in the pay grade difference at club level they should have overwhelmed them. Fair play to the yanks though, they've got a history of punching above their weight in these 'soccer' tournaments..

[MysticStrummer]

I played "soccer" for about nine years as a kid. Most of those years I played two seasons, one for my school's team and one for a club league. All that time I kept hearing how "soccer" was the next big sport in the US. It was always supposedly on the verge of catching on in a big way. It never happened and no one bothers to say that anymore. I would be glad to hear that the US did well, but I don't plan to watch at all. It's a fun game to play, and in terms of the best overall atheletes I'd say it and basketball are tied, but for watching it's about as exciting as golf and baseball. I put "soccer" in quotes because even though I know it's not the correct term, "american football" will always be football to me... as illogical as it is to call it football.

[fucadastates]

well i know football isent a big thing in usa. but you do know that the world cup is the most watcht event in china?? and i do belive there are more people watching that event than there are americans wathing the superball.. well its not realy fair. in china there are 1.3 billion people. in usa there are 300.000.000 people...
but i will give you this. in usa there are more people watching the superball at home in there telly than in china, but in china they gather alot to watch it together. when china where in the worldcup back in 2002 thay said it was watch by over 600.000.000 million people... thats one contry mate. sorry for the bad spelling. i chose spanish in school insted.

ohh an on the "we beat evry other contry in any other sport" how did you do in the world cup in icehockey this year???
iam actualy sorry for my coments, got all hocket up on this ITS FOOTBALL thing..

dident know you had rogby. why isent it as popular as amercian fooball. its more EVIL!

[chisox100]

no one cares about soccer in the US. Thats why we suck at it. We have better sports to play. Like REAL football, baseball, basketball and hockey.

[Bordel_1900]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Real football?!

Yeah, it's not a ball and you don't use your feet to kick it, at least 80% of the time you're standing still and the rest you're running around with this oval leather thing under your arms.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, REAL FOOTBALL!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

You are a funny person.

Real football is played with a round ball and with your feet.

[SnakeforPresident]

Chisox is an dumb if there is a REAL football it is soccer. I understand where some of you are coming from that most Americans think ONLY the sports played here are good but that being said the argument that soccer/football is a better sport because its more popular is not really fair it is the longer established sport and its it was also the sport the british took around the world when the ruled half of it. So its not fair to count out American sports seeing as basketball is one of the quickest growing international sports in the world, except in ... ENGLAND. The rest of europe and the civilized world loves the sport.

and @Tdrules
who started this ... Soccer as it is known now was invented by ENGLAND so he cant talk about being good at sport u invented. Seeing as its the ONLY sport your really good at. Plus when was the last time england did anything special in a world cup

[Convas]

Bordello, he has a picture of RROD as his Avatar, did you really expect maturity or intelligence from him?

[fucadastates]

SnakeforPresident ... well baseball isent big in denmark, norway, sweden and finland. in germany.. nope not even there..what contrys are you thinking off... spain?? nope the like football and HANDball. italy..nope.. grece?? nope.. krotia?? they are all about sailing.
baseball (or rundbold as some contrys call it) is NOT big..
but year it grows... like 12% a year.. like when the sells on xbox rises with 12% i japan one month to another (from 1300 to whatevers 12% higher). not realy a god argument. Golf is big in both us and eu (you know we won the ryder cup yea??)

[MechaGear]

All the world plays football and is celebrating that right now.
And no one cares that you don't, buddy.
Anyway, nice match against England.
Maybe there is still hope for you.

[SnukaTheMan]

Thats why there are pay per view for the soccer games....and in america its freely hyped and free on espn and abc...but no one cares hahahahahahahaah

http://blog.comcast.com/201...

soccer sucks....plain and simple....get over it rest of the world...

[get2sammyb]

Stop buying into the hype then. Also, the Killzone 3 trailer and SOCOM was the news.

[bobrea]

Who cares? Did this really ruin your day that much? On a sidenote, soccer is retarded and sucks ass.

[Jack-Pyro]

On a side note, you are retarded and like the cock!

No I'm Kidding, but you might not wanna say stuff like that during the BIGGEST INTERNATIONAL SINGLE SPORT SERIES IN THE WORLD!!!

[bobrea]

You're under the assumption that I give a shit about what soccer fans think.

[dkgshiz]

Soccer fans love it though. They usually start big riots and tons of chaos if their team loses.

[BYE]

@bobrea

And you're under the assumption that anyone gives a shit about what you think.

Pathetic...

[Meryl]

well i'm from england and they have not been playing well, so if they don't dig deep and if they underestimate the opposition they could come away losing, and trust me if they lose to the USA, then it confirms my suspicions -- England are no where as good as what they used to be bring back the 90's and gary lineker

[s45gr32]

England will win but hopefully the US put on a good show.

[hiredhelp]

IM ENGLISH. AND I HATE FOOTBALL.BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY AND MOST OTHERS WHO PLAY FOOTBALL.CALL THEMSELVS LIKE ENGLAND .A TEAM WITH THERE NATIONS NAME.(ENGLAND). WELL THATS FU**CKING BS im fedup with football these days over paid half the team made up with people from other countrys and too many transfers.weres the british in that.and ameericans will always be big headed. but same time we over hype ourselvs too.but of course we do wot every country does thats try to protect our country.but football today is crap.full of fake injurys roll over the field to faulse a foul to get free kick.not really doing much effort on the pitch.with most players im not just talking about england..
PERSONALLY I MUCH RATHER PLAY GAME ON PS3.

[Chapulin]

U know even Japan would of won England if they did not score two goals on themselves.

[sam2236]

Just shows how retarded SCEE really is. They always fuck stuff up for us Europeans. Just look at the EU PS Store compared to the US and Japanese PS Stores for Christ's sake!

[Jason143]

kz3 and socom trailer woot drool. How old is the authorof this? My eleven year old could have done a better job.

[ThaNewDealer]

Sony's big announcement is a big disappointment plain and simple (forgive the cliche) I hope MS fairs better.

[TheFlyingPenguin]

OMG theyve actually used a St. Georges flag in the avatar instead of the crap Union Flag.

[Raoh]

soccer is the largest sport in the world, nuff said

[Horny]

thats a fact

[Horny]

for the person who disagreed name a sport bigger than football(soccer).
.......
Thats what I thought, there is nothing bigger.

[GuruStarr78]

It's easy to admit that while the U.S. team isn't the greatest, they're not the worst...with that said, soccer is not our sport here in the states....if there was a world cup of American Football (the one with the "pigskin") we'd most likely dominate.....look at basketball for instance.

[Horny]

Yugoslavia (Now Serbia) is the best basketball country, followed by the Soviets(Russians).Im talking about history not recently, havent been keeping up with the countries lately.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi__]

...STOP CRYING LIKE BABIES internet sites!!! ;-D

[dkgshiz]

I personally could care less about soccer. Just like 100% of the United States.

[Scotland-The-Brave]

its not soccer, its FOOTBALL

[webeblazing]

guess that shows you how much he cares lol

[Dusdg]

No its called soccer. US = World so you are wrong.

[tinybigman]

and i love football(not the pigskin one which i love also). don't assume all of us don't like it.

[rakunado]

Come on England, you made me cry last world cup against Portugal... don't make me start breaking stuff if you lose to the U.S in the first game!

[reckoner]

Everyone begins to bash the USA. Yeah, some of us are arrogant pricks, but aren't there some in every country? I don't know why everyone hates the USA, but please, get over it. It's just a football game.

[United4Life]

But please Don"t Insult Football by calling it with the Yank nickname "Soccer"
Football is "Foot"ball and it"s played with your feet.

American Football to me is just Evolved form of Rugby.

PS- The First four matches were so Brutal on me , hope this game has some excitement.

[Lelouch Vi Britannia]

France match was boring, very boring !

[Scotland-The-Brave]

England will fail
I actually want them to fail
Go USA (even though i am not a fan lol)

[mushroomwig]

*Notices the Scottish avatar, giggles a little and walks away.*

Funny how Scotland couldn't even qualify.

[greatjimbo78]

Oh look everyone, it's Scotland. And sweet, they brought the lulz!

[asdf12]

ENGLAND SCORE 4 MINS IN

[RuPaul]

nothing else! LMAO! USA USA USA USA USA!!!

[mushroomwig]

"don't pull this sh*t again and abuse trust in the brand."

Wow, serious business indeed. Someone needs to lighten up a little bit because it's just a little humour.

[Brixxer600]

Maybe Rob Green has got his USA shirt on already.

HaHaHaHa

[Z777]

These are not the 2 huge announcements because they are not HUGE and one of them is not even sony related let alone videogame related. I think it is obivious that the topic creator is either insane, an xbox 360 fanboy, jealous that Sony is dominating like the previous generation or is just an idiot.

I am still waiting for these HUGE announcements but until then I call SHENANIGANS!!!

And if i am wrong then call me an idoit and see if i care Laaawl!

[Supraman]

But the Black hawks won the Stanley cup

[Winkle92]

What a surprise! US tied England 1-1. That score by Engalnd at the beginning made me think it was over but the US fought back. Good Game!

And Z777- Dont be calling people fanboys when your comment stinks of fanboyism. Just sayin.

[Drac]

Classic England goalkeeping to let USA back into the match.

What is it with English keepers and blunders?

[wutangkillabees]

well group A is garbage. group B Nigeria's goalie did amazing and Greece is absolutely horrid. Group C England and US should walk through the rest of their games but USA does a great job leaving the sidelines wide open. if it is one thing that i hate about US sports is that every team. there is a son on the team of a coach. Head coach Bob Bradley coaches his son Michael bradley. do you think that he is more biased towards his son? What are we in little league? and would the head coach please wear a suit. he looks like a fool.

[mercenarie]

1-1 10 shots by the UK in the second half and none of them scored! wow..

[PS360PCROCKS]

Lucky goal by USA. I was surprised we got the draw to be honest. That first goal really made me nervous. Give and go in 2nd half, how many times must we just throw it out of bounds? Altidore hits the DAMN post! Ugh that was so unlucky...Not a bad match, but watching that it, wow did we(USA) look outmatched, England has tons of talent. USA goalie is very good, he was the MVP by far. I dunno USA gives up too much of the field and it looked like we were settling for the tie that really bothered me.

[greatjimbo78]

I find the way you describe the match strange, out of bounds, MVP etc, but I love the fact you're getting it. And damn, what I would give to have Tim Howard in goal for England.
Fair play to the US team though. You've some decent players, and you're not a bad side.

[BYE]

The biggest hurdle of group phase is passed.

Now if they play good against Slovenia and Algeria they should be in the finals.

[yog-sothot]

the people at maxconsole are a bunch of idiots if they keep buying the hype provided day after day by the PR people of the videogame industry...

[UziSuicide]

This is why I can't be bothered with the 'community' side of sports... worse than friggin gamers.

Lots of chest beating, soap box prancing, couch coaching garbage.

[Solid Wolf]

Nuff' said, Yuo already know where I am from probably.

[JD_Shadow]

Okay, first off, regardless of if you like the sport or not, the bottom line is that this site is crying and bitching because the announcements weren't what they wanted to hear.

Why doesn't this site instead do a schoolgirl squeal whenever MS picks off another Sony third party exclusive? Are these the same type of people that hope Versus 13 goes multiplat, too? Because if they do, and MS and SE listens to people like THIS, then we're ALL in BIG trouble!

[TheColbertinator]

Hahaha it was a tie.Honestly I didn't see it coming.

[Tdmd]

Bad joke, Sony. Don't toy with our hearths! :T
