well here we should talk about soccer like who is your favorite player ? who is your favorite team ? you can have up to 3 players and 3 teams but if you have 3 that means you dont like 1 better than the others and i might make a chart of wich teams and players are most popular here on AG

Even if they do, it's not as prestigious or watched. I guess you can say they have the CONCACAF Gold Cup for both North and South America, but they have fewer teams, and much less coverage. They can also take part in the much more prestigious Copa América if they qualify.

Right now almost every country in North and South America are playing international friendlies.

It's the Euro Cup. Only European countries play in that tournament.


I know. I was quoting it from one of my friends.

Unless you change citizenship, but then you'll not be an American citizen anymore.


Off-topic a little, but can't you be a dual citizen as long as both countries allow it?

Yes, but not all governments allow it. It's also up to the player's choice.

Jermaine Jones for example, played for both Germany and USA. Messi too was offered either an Argentinian or Spanish team place.

Looks like the Euro Cup finals are going to be Spain Vs Germany? Both teams are undefeated and looks like they're going to stay like that until they go against each other.

No Spain tied against Italy


Undefeated means not losing just to clear things up...

I think Germany has what it takes to get to the finals. Spain is looking good except I have a feeling they might slip up some time or another.

Ya Germany has a good chance and yes Spain could split.

I haven't seen any Argentina games so how are they doing ? Is Messi as good on Argentina as FCB ?

True, Spain could really dominate any team. They just need to take more shots and I think they'll be fine.

I think Argentina is playing with all of North and South American teams in some little tourney call "Road to the World Cup" I could be wrong though.
