Only about one half hour away, GO U.S.A.!!!!

Just thought I would waste a little bandwidth with a thread concerning our impending victory over Germany. So whether you are a fan or not, turn on the game and join it!

The Americans payed Worl-class soccer!!!!! They lost because Oliver Kahn was extremly good, I can't say that about the German team. The American team was better!!!!!!

Caught the last 10 minutes at a cybercafe on 49th st.

That US header near the end got everyone out of their seats!

German Brazil final a good possibility...Spain could also appear.....Senegal, South Korea would be surprises although home teams have done well in these cups so South Korea might be there.

An offensive player recieves the ball and is beyond the last defensive player. He cannot get the ball behind the last defensive player guarding his goal.

We did okay against the Germans, but I'd like to see how they do playing REAL football against the best players the USA has to offer...

Germany - Brazil match would be a good one to watch. I would love for Germany to win. I rarely support the German soccer team, this would be one of those times.

LOL, I feel like going out and smashing some Volkswagens. ;) But seriously, I think the US put the world on notice. And out of this, we have inspired a new generation of youngsters who will eventually take the US to the top.

To get to the top one of the ways would be to fix MLS. Changing the names of the teams would be a good start.

MLS teams are now basically farm clubs for the more well known European teams. Young players will get there start, but they will eventually move on. I don't think there is much the MLS will be able to do about that. It's the same for a bunch of smaller countries. The best players ultimately end up playing for teams in England, Germany, Italy or Spain.

I was never a fan of the name "Crew". Isnt Columbus known for something other than construction? Like Explorers or Silverbacks? But the Crew? UGH.

True, a couple of more good show by the USA team will definitely make some changes in the popularity of the game and you never know MLS might become BIG.

Congratulations to the efforts of our team. These men have done an incredible job. I hope this is the beginning of something wonderful for soccer. However, my hubby lasted 1 minute watching this game. He's still an American Football fan. If there's not at least 4 commercial breaks and someone scoring every 5 seconds, he doesn't see the point. LOL!
