If we were to compare soccer to handwriting, we would say Germany plays like Catholic nun schoolteacher handwriting, with neat little letters, nothing out of place, everything in line.
Spain plays like cursive, with little loops and swooshes you barely notice until you see the bigger object and marvel in its beauty.
Brazil plays like graffiti letters, big and colorful and saying more than the words themselves could.
THE USMNT PLAYS IN ALL CAPS. THERE IS NOT A LOT OF SUBTLETY HERE, AND NOT MUCH IN THE WAY OF STYLISTIC FLOURISHES, IF WE'RE BEING HONEST. MOSTLY, IF THE USMNT'S RECENT MATCHES HAVE BEEN ANY INDICATION, THE USA IS HERE TO KICK THE BALL REALLY HARD SO IT GOES FAR.
WATCH THIS HIGHLIGHT VIDEO OF THE USMNT AGAINST HONDURAS YESTERDAY. WATCH HOW HARD THEY KICK IT. THEY CAN KICK IT SO HARD, YOU GUYS. WAY HARDER THAN THOSE SPANIARDS. THOSE GUYS KICK IT AND IT GOES, LIKE 10 FEET. THAT'S AMATEUR HOUR. WATCH THIS.
made a video highlighting how little the US wanted the ball vs. Honduras. only have themselves to blame if they miss out on the World Cup pic.twitter.com/mHqcVNIj9U
