congrats to the US team for a great game harder as all of us thought about but you did a fine job during the last two games and you have a young team to do well in future
damn german pay tv only heard about the england - brasil match yet sad that Engeland is out but i hope you re goin with us now
Thanks for the compliment, and yes, I am with Germany now. I want the team to win it that beat us. Kahn is one helluva keeper
I sincerely think he was the difference in the game. Friedel had a couple of saves but nothing really pesky. Kahn made some great saves and is why you guys are going on... I mean 1 goal in 5 games. That is truly awesome, especially seeing how the US got around the German back line (several times, with shots on goal), I'm not knocking the Germans defenseive abilities, but I think the US defensive backs were a touch better than the Germans.
I think if we could just beef up our midfield we would be a definite contender, as I think Claudio Renya hurt the US some. Not-so much in the Germany game but in other games.
Like I said before... Oh well.
I am disappointed but happy for them and the coaching staff. We got to the round of 16 (and beyond), and I didn't think we would get out of the group.
Congrats GERMANY!!! :soccer: WIN THE CUP!!!
