On a side note, Egypt beat England to kick the English out of the competition WOOOOO what a great day :)

[Celticrugby]

Oh I know why! Adu was on the bench! :)

[swissknife]

Even if US had 10 Freddy Adu's they cant beat Germany. Football isnt bout pure talent, its about tactics, hardwork, commitment... things US and Adu dont have.

[Celticrugby]

hahaha. I was only joking, but if the USA had 10 Adu's they would definitely win. :) hahahaha

[Distant Voices]

That is a great win after the opening game debacle.
The USA have very good youth teams and in WM 2002 showed how organised they have become.

Excellent news.

[swissknife]

now Germany need to beat Paraguay, shouldnt be that hard thou..

[bastian]

:clap :clap good win for german youngs.....

[jumboman]

if we do make it to the quarters it would be amazing because this group havent played together at all ,we're missing so many players that played at last years euro under 19 ,hanke,volz,riether,odonkor,lahm,we still got quality players though

[USA Blue]

Very harsh there.
In an ideal world teams would have a mixture of both....flair and great teamwork.
The US eventually will in my opinion rival the great European nations....it is just a matter of time.

I think it'll be a matter of years, for sure in the next 30 I think with SO many kids growing up playing it now instead of baseball. Just look at our showing at the last world cup, a "coming out party" so to speak with a HUGE wins over Portugal and Mexico.

Congrats to the Germans by the way for beating us and advancing, good luck in the rest of the competition. :clap :clap

[USA Blue]

impossible

So you can see into the future then eh :rolleyes:

Thanks

[Celticrugby]

Anyway, we also only lost 1-0 to Germany in the quarters of the WC. That in itself should be something. Another note, that was totally a flagrant handball in the goal and we should have got a pk! (I'm sure that point has already been debated.)

I'm glad Germany was the team to beat us though, they are a world class team and I was rooting for them throughout the competition, except against Ireland and the US of course.

[swissknife]

Ok I must say this, I do not like Americans at all (well Im an Arab) but I really can picture US soccer being one of the top nations in the world soon. Its not hard to imagine USA winning the worldcup in 2010 or 2014, sometime in the near future. USA is world class at almost every sport out there, they are a very rich country and the citizens are sports-oriented. Anyways I wish them luck in winning the WC soon, don't get close to 06 thou, that's Germany's!

[swissknife]

Oh and USA Blue, your sig is freaky man! I feel stalked lol

[USA Blue]

Ok I must say this, I do not like Americans at all (well Im an Arab) I'm an American but I dont dislike you or Arabs in general and also remember this is a place where we can leave what divides us and concentrate on what unites us....the love of football.

Come on Swissknife-how many Americans do you know ?
They are some of the nicest people in the world.

Good and bad everywhere.People are generally the same the world over.You have to treat people as you find them.

You cannot generalise 281 million people....

[milano_sin]

[swissknife]

Thanks for your kind thoughts man! Much appreciated.

Yeah, America is a friendly place and a great place to visit, however there are always some that ruin it.

[swissknife]

well they lost 2-0, from the team that US beat 3-1.. oh well i guess they're out :(

[Celticrugby]

There are three kids from my college playing for the US in that tourney now.

[jumboman]

trust me,its not such a bad thing , the US and Korea had 2 months training camp preparation for this ,probably paraguay too, we just assembled a team that barely played together before,we're missing 5 to six important players cuz they play in the bundesliga ,schweinstiger,lahm,hanke,riether,odonkor

[swissknife]

error

[swissknife]

Just another brick in the German misery wall...
*no Germans in Uefa cup
*2 in the CL, none with a realstic chance of doing great
*out of youth champs
*"A" team losing to every possible big team

The only thing Germans have to be proud about in 2003 is the women's team, and Michael Schumacher :laugh :rolleyes:

[phsychyzed]
