Half time Germany 1 x 0 USA

Germany playing strong, flawlessly, but The USA defending well, to tie and win they are going to have to come up with some good imaginative plays in order to get past a very strong German defense.

Fast game in all, Germany looks like a strong contender.

First half Germany-USA:1-0

I reserve the right to change my mind after the game is over<g>

We are witnessing Germany taking the USA to school. Germany maybe playing at less than 50% of its real capacity. There seems to be miles and miles of open routes to the US goal area. US players seem to be more preoccupied on where they are standing in the "brilliant" 3-6-1 system than to run to the ball.

Claudio:Already out of gas, if this is the playmaker I am Maradona
Pope:Being taken to school on how to go up for headers from Klinsmann and Bierhoff
Regis:You should have played for France.
Burns:Mike at the goal thinking:"Wow, I am in WC and playing against Germany, will they win it this year, oh look at Mattheus come up for a header, oh magnificent, oh shit it is coming towards me, I better move out of the way..."
Deering:Oh that party last night was awesome. These french girls really work on you good....Oh look at Kohler go...
Wynald: Oh so alone outhere I feel like the lone wolf, Oh..here comes Kohler...man how am I going to go through this guy
Mashoneuveu<sp?>Is he one of the 11?
Keller:I can't believe Klinsman got the header from both Regis and Pope and subsequently Burns let Mattheus header go through. What's with this guy....are they afraid? Oh Come on bring me Romario
Dooley:I feel like the Leader of the blind...I am getting old, I have the will but not the legs anymore.
Cobi:The one really worth of wearing the US jersey. An oasis in the jungle
Stewart:Another oasis who is disappearing in Sampson's "brilliant" system.

Bring on Preki!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Play ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!Sampson, you idiot, you should have set up about respect and all that BS. The way you have positioned the team, no wonder the Germans have no respect for us.

Okay, time for the second half. USA can play MUCH better. The question is if they have the guts to do it?

I am hoping for the comeback!
