Agreed.

The game is now history and no need crying about it....

The next games are what matter. regardless, I still think this is the best team the US has had, and improving quickly.

The best way to fight arrogance is... well winning in the field, in the mean time.... unfortunately, we must eat crow, so pass the pepper please.

And do not forget, all in jest.

Shane:

So this is your refuge from the temporary carnage...good choice actually.

I must have been watching a different game (or maybe, because of my mongrel heritage **, from an eclectic perspective) 'cause I thought the U.S. played a pretty spirited game on balance. Made the Germans look a bit out of shape at times (age?) and with a couple of breaks, this could easily have ended in a tie. Let's keep in mind, too, this was a first round game.

**=German father, French mother (what a combo, huh?), wife's background Croatian/Austrian...soooo, with no Canadian team to root for, obviously, I don't know whether to 's***t or go blind'! Consequently, I've adopted the U.S. (with your permission, of course).

When all's said and done, I've gotta go with Brazil in the final.

Cheers,
Wolf
