Bill, The US team played a brilliant match this afternoon, and deserved to win. They dominated the world cup's best team from start to finish, and were denied only by the German goalkeeper's superhuman efforts (and a very bad call from the referee.) Congratulations to everyone back home, as USA futboll has arrived.

Beckenbauer says Germany were lucky to beat U.S. uk.sports.yahoo.com BERLIN (Reuters) - Former Germany captain and coach Franz Beckenbauer said that the three-times winners were lucky to beat the United States 1-0 in their World Cup quarter-final. "America were clearly the better team for 90 minutes," said Beckenbauer, an analyst for Germany's pay-television network. "We'll have to raise our game considerably after this. Hopefully, good fortunate will remain faithful to us. Beckenbauer also said Germany were fortunate the referee failed to award the Americans a penalty kick four minutes into the second half when German defender Torsten Frings handled on the line after Oliver Kahn had half-saved a Gregg Berhalter shot. "It's actually a clear penalty kick when one's hand touches the ball on the goal line," he said. "It should have been a penalty."
