LOL

what do you expect though tbh...

they need to get in a few more illegals before they can get a proper football team together.

Maybe then theyd stop calling it soccer too!

The Czechs are formiddable and the Americans had a bad day on the field to be sure. Ill remember to be gracefull when they walk all over England.

USs problem is an unorganized midfield and way too much backward passing. Otherwise the talent is there, especially with the some solid defenders. Youve got guys like Beasley that can push that ball up, but it all falls apart when theres noone good to cross to.

The Czechs know how to always be ready, playing on the edge and getting something like 8 offsides to the USs zero.

They did lose their big striker, but who cares when they got Rosicky. Keller had no chance of saving that insanely well placed and powerful second goal.

Ill only be convinced that the yanks brought another loser of a team after I see them against Italy. The squad itself is good--but defenders Pope and Enyewu were fighting too much today. I think if Johnson and Beasley can get their act together, the match with Italy shows some hope.

They are a decent team.  They just lack something of that bit extra of world class talent and some up front strikers, when they had the ball they didnt make the most of it.  

They didnt get to the quarter-finals last time on luck.

not much hope tbh...

even if they do manage to scrape a win against italy they will most probably be up against Brazil

even if dubya has a word with his pal God I still dont think the US will get far
