Completely underwhelming but we are through. Wish I felt better about how the team played today.

I know but considering Germany has the best team in the world after Brazil, this is the best they could do.

Concur, but just remember Germany may be the best team out there. It seemed Klinsman’s strategy was to park the bus in front of the goal and hope for the best.

You have to remember the opposition. Germany is among the top three or four teams in the world. Losing 1-0 is a result we can live with. We emerged out of the Group of Death. Very few pundits, if any, anticipated that.

Good point, Germany couldn’t beat Ghana and had to reach into a bag of tricks to beat 10 men Portugal.
