Sell your soul for the national team
The Far Post (see infamous interview here) asked an intriguing question yesterday: What would you trade for the U.S. Men’s National Team to win the World Cup in your lifetime?
I really don’t even know how to answer it. As I commented there, I actually considered letting Mexico with every other World Cup in my lifetime but, man, that’d be rough.
What say you?

I would trade the existence of the MLS.
I would trade Landycakes scoring the winning goal and winning the golden ball for the entire tourney, and then return to obscurity in the MLS to play for the new Minnesota MLS team. Although now that I think about it, I am still not sure this is worth it.
No, Mark; you were supposed to trade something of value.
I kid.
I’d trade my soul, but only if the World Cup came in a limo filled with Big Macs.

Whatever you’d trade, it’s nowhere near as much as I’d give to see England win the Cup. Of course, that would require they qualify for the tournament, which is now, of course, too much to hope for.
Three Lions, with the exchange rate being what it is what we offer would have to be 1.8 times what you do just to make it come out even.
What would I give? I’d actually sit and listen to ABC/ESPN’s pathetic broadcasters, and listen to Georgio Chinaglia say how we MUST have cheated because Italy didn’t win.
What a sacrifice.
So England won’t qualify for the World Cup because they didn’t make the Euro 2008 championships? Yes they won’t be playing at the Euro’s but I am sure they will qualify for the big dance in 2010.
