But seriously, I think the US put the world on notice

That they did. The European-South American Axis is facing unexpected threats from North America and Asia. I was astounded that the U.S. Team dominated ball possession in this game. It would have been unthinkable a few years ago. It's true, the Germans were a little more skilled and disciplined, and they earned their victory, but I saw a psychological breakthrough in the U.S. team in this World Cup. They cannot be intimidated anymore; they know they can beat the best teams in the world. Maybe that 2010 plan will come to fruition after all.

Awesome game by our guys! We dominated the tempo/style of this game, and barely lost. We can play with anybody.

That was CLEARLY a hand ball in the box; we got robbed of a PK. I wish soccer would use replays on critical calls. Flame away, it'd be better than the multiple referee screwups like what we've seen throughout this world cup (ask Italy).

Ty Keough at ESPN should be deported. What a whiner, making excuses for Germany's hand ball and then going on ad nauseum about our hand ball AGAIN from the previous game. He's a typical PC idiot who made an incredible effort by our team almost sound boring. Spanish TV coverage was WAY better than ESPN, not even close. We may have beaten them on the field, but American TV networks have a lot to learn from UniVision (sp?).

I am so proud of our team.
