US Destroys Netherlands with 4-3 comeback Win of the Century!

The U.S. men's national team came back from 3-1 down to ‘Layeth the Smacketh Downeth’ on the Netherlands 4-3 in Amsterdam. The Stars and Stripes, playing with a B-C team, did what both Mexico and Costa Rica failed to do at the World Cup by defeating the flaming Dutch team.

The U.S, which had given Holland a two goal head start, decided to turn up the heat in the last ten minutes of the match. Daniel Williams leveled the match in the 89th and a minute later, after a world class move by Michael Bradley, Bobby Wood scored the match winner.

BOOM, that just happened. The Dutch can count themselves lucky that USMNT head coach Jurgen Klinsmann decided not to call up the dynamic duo of Freddy Adu and Julian Green. 

Other players that were missing that would have piled on the misery for the dutch are:  Clint Dempsey, Jozy Altidore, Alejandro Bedoya, Graham Zusi, Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez and Geoff Cameron.

MLP as US World Cup Mascot

With each passing day the possibilities of the United Sates hosting the FIFA 2026 World Cup seem very likely. The tourney’s rotation would have come full circle with a CONCACAF nation set to once again host the Cup.

And there will be no better candidate than the United Sates who is rearing to go. There is no point in discussing the possibilities of the regional rivals making a serious bid. Canada is too cold. A combined Central America would need 100 years just to get the infrastructure in place. While FIFA would not want to deal with Mexico’s cartel problems.

That said. We can now start working on which mascot the US will use to represent the tourney. Since this will be Americas second Word Cup we here at Planet Sawker feel that two progressively bad ass Ponies would be the ideal mascot.

Not just any pony but My Little Pony ponies. Given that Bronies and Pegasisters have a vibrant and unique subculture similar to that of US soccer fans it makes perfect sense. Plus, the Pony’s motto ‘friendship is magic’ sits well with the multicultural American fan base. 

Now, I know many people will be thinking that MLP is geared for little girls but truth be told people of all ages and genders can identify with the awesomeness that is a pony. Using androgynous ponies as the World Cup mascot also serves as a tipping of the hat to female soccer players who have put US soccer on the map by beating the men’s team to Olympic gold and World Cup glory.
