Well, Tonight at 2:30 am EST I'm going to be watching the England vs. Brazil game. Some friends and I are actually going to stay up all night so we can also see the 7am USA vs. Germany game as well. Any other americans gunna watch the games? W00t! USA all the way baby. :D :drink: ::coffee::
Hehe I'll be up for both games, definitely. :) Can't wait.
Don't know what you guys did between the '98 World Championship and this one, but I definitely wanna find out ;)
I've seen the American team evolve from absolute amateurs not even worthy of calling their game football/soccer to a well-organized, efficient machine, already known for their fair-play.
My bet is on Germany though, since you guys lack the experience the Mannschaft has... And although teams like Senegal and South-Korea made it this far, I still think they have no chance against teams like Germany and Brazil because of their lack of experience (Germany vs. Brazil is my bet for the final, with Germany beating those lucky bastards). But then again, it's football, and we all know how far luck can get you (yes, I'm talking to you, Mr. Jamaican amateuristic referee). And I still think it's weird a South-American ref was allowed to lead a match between a Middle-American country and a European one.
Good luck ;) (you're gonna need it)
Brazil won!!!!
USA!! ALL THE WAY!! USA!!! ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!! :) Sorry guys. I gots alot of patriotism.

ouch thats gotta hurt :)
USA have lost and so have England :(
Its becoming interesting
Welp, USA lost. *sniffles* I will be ok, I just need time. *sniff* :)
I loved the way US handled themselves in the first half, pity they cudnt convert when they got so many chances, i hope the yanks wud work on the finishes, i nearly poped out of the schair during some of the close shaves, I hope the yanks dont get upset and carry on...hats off to their efforts :rolleyes:
:shootem:
Germany is an experienced team that had all the odds of beating Germany. When the US beat Mexico that was the best they had done in 72 years. US must be improving.
damned referee, the german player handled the ball on the line. PENALTY!
i am so gutted about england going out. I thought we were gonna win when we scored oh well.. Brazil are gonna win now, I am sure.
There's a saying here in the Netherlands: Even if Brazil and Italy play the last round, Germany is going to win. Heh. I guess they have beaten us to much ;)
I am upset the the U.S.A have lost but I guess today, Germany was definitely the better team. I feel it should have been a penalty, but thats the ref's call. Im actually pulling for portugual.
****, USA played their hearts out and controlled the ball for most of the game. We SHOULD have won that game. If Donnovan had actually KICKED the dam ball at the goal before getting into Kahn's face, we could have won easily. As far as the hand ball on the line, well, it looked unintentional to me and wasn't a PK infraction. If he had actually gone after the ball with his hand, then that would be different. His hands were at his side where they were supposed to be, and the ball hit his hand, not the other way around.
I love some of the negs I get.. lolQuote:
**** states!!germanyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
I watched both games and was supporting both teams that eventually lost ... oh well
..... the US team did very well, they got to the World Cup and then onto the 1/4 finals .... now they have to overcome the European style of play of defending a lead ...
.... England played well but I thought they tired in the heat towards the end .... both were great matches to watch .... be proud your countries made it to the World Cup .... mine didn't :(
Looking forward to the next World Cup .... the tide of soccer dominance is definitely changing.
nah USA lost today!!!!!!!!! BRAZIL ALL THE WAY BABY!
I've got to admit, I was really happy that the US did as well as they did. For a nation that doesn't support it's soccer team as much as others, our boys did quite well. I'm hopeful for the next year.
The mood is still terrible here in England, The whole country believed we could win it, But as me and my friends agreed, it is to hot out in japan for our players, they got worn out in the heat. I would have loved to see the USA beat Germany and go on and win the cup, but unfortually the germans kept closing them down whenever they tried to score.
Oh well, I am off to the Euro champinships in2004 in portugal, and I am looking forward to a brillian world cup in Germany in 2006, Maybe the USA could get one back on there own turf!
