Is this the year of USA?

Lmao..a star for you Freshy..very cute :)

The answer is yes, their weapon systems are typically not as advanced as ours, but on purpose. The Russian military doctrine has always emphasized quantity over quality. To simplify, you can put all of the coolest and most advanced gadgets on your tank, or you can build two for the same price. Americans took the former approach, the Russians the latter. This is best illustrated that according to the 1989 Encyclopedia Britannica (right before the end of the Cold War), the Soviets had 32,000 tanks in their arsenal and the Americans only had 8,000. Was their massive army of tanks nearly as advanced as those of the U.S.? Hell no, but at 4-1 odds, they didn't need to be. Russian equipment emphasizes cost and field reliability in exchange for effectiveness. A great example is that while the MiG-29 lacked the avionics of the F-18, it cost half as much to produce and maintain. These days, though, the picture is even bleaker for the Russians. Due to constricted budgets, the majority of their weaponry is still the same stuff they were using in 1990 since they don't have the money to buy anything better. So, it may be a stretch to say the Russian military is 30 years behind us, but it's at least 10 years behind where it wants to be.

I'm sorry, but there is just no way we will win the world cup. We just don't have a real playmaking midfielder that is capable of taking a game over. Personally i think the dutch will win in 2010. Sneijder, Robben, and van Persie are all very young and very talented.

Wait but if your saying this is USA's year how does that mean they are going to win the WC in 2010? OK be happy :D

Man I can only HOPE SO! I live here in the US and I'd like to see them write history! the Williams sisters wrote history many times. I want USA to write history in soccer!!! anyway CONGRATS TO THE WILLIAMS SISTERS SPECIALLY to Venus Williams who was the winner!

aww....freshy im sorry but i don't agree. football n usa just don't go together. there are many better teams in the world n we just can't beat em. im glad ur a happy fan. but i doubt the hapiness will last foreva!
