Nice to see that result is 2:0 now.
I hear is hard game... but you winning it!
WC gold is closer huh? ;)
-
Hehehe it ain't over yet :)
Biting nails here
Friedel rules :)
-
Well done the US of A Have fun with Germany, I cant belive how dirty mexico were towards the end of that.:D
-
hells yeah!!!!
Quarterfinals for the USA!!!
*doing a lil' jig*
-
Man, Mexico sure got desparate in the last 15 minutes.;)
Time to face the Germans.:eek:
Heh.
-
Congratulations....
You sure have a nice team :)
Cheers,
-
uh-oh, Germany awaits. :eek:
Then again, I didn't think the USA would have beaten Mexico. It seems the tougher the opponent, the better team USA plays. Hope that holds true against Deutschland. :)

win or lose, this is much better than hardly anyone expected of the USA in this World Cup. Along with Korea, we knocked out a dark horse favorite in Portugal. We tied the host in a very tough match with one of the best, if not THE best home crowds I've ever seen in a World Cup match. We bounced back from a Polish spanking to shut out a Mexico team that had been playing very well in group play.
I don't expect us to beat Germany. They have all the advantages going into it, except one (get to it in a second...) Germans have two extra days rest, the experience of being deep into many World Cups as a country, better holding, better in the air, decently matched on speed tho maybe the US has them in speed/fitness. What the USA has is no pressure. They weren't expected to get this far. Quarterfinal appearance is a success for this team. Germany has expectations to compete to win every World Cup. The pressure is on them to produce the result. It's not much of a factor, Germany is full of professionals. I love watch Germany play and win, but not on Friday! ;) Go USA!!!
-
WTG USA! Pity we won't meet in the semifinals I fear... Germany is... well, Germany...
I sure would like to see a Spain - USA in the Semi-finals ;)
Anyway, it's quite an achievement getting this far, so congratulations!

This was long time ago. I fear Germany is NOT Germany anymore. I think USA have really good chances to beat us. Anyway to the US-boys.
-
Have to agree with Duedel, the Germans have alot of pressure at home. On paper, not any better then Portugal. Oh well it's me against 50 at work Friday.:eek:
-
WTG USA, nicework indeed.
Now a small thought far us little belgians about to run into the giant Brazil in a few minutes....yikes!:eek:
-
WTG US of AAAAAAAAAAAAAaa.
Ain't it great to be the underdogs. Nobody expects you to get results so when you do it's all the sweeter.
Ohhhhh say caaaan yoooouuu seeeeee, byy.........
I'll be cheering on the US against Germany since my country lost the lottery:(

If you watched the game in the middle of the night, are you an official football fan or a band wagon jumper :)

I love it! Most of the workforce here is from Mexico....I have posted a big "2-0" in my office window :D
I hope I make it home tonight!!!:eek:

Today the german soccer-legend Fritz Walter died in age of 81.
He was the so called hero of Bern - the captain of the german soccer-team which has won the 1st german world championship 1954 in Bern/Switzerland.
This victory was celebrated enthusiasticly in Germany. It boosted the moral of the german people and will never be forgotten here.
With men like him Germany would win against the USA at Friday without any problems. These old heros had the fighting spirit to fight until the last minute of the game and to enforce the victory.
But today we have a bunch of millionaires who only care for their health instead of giving the last for the win (The only exception is the goalkeaper Oliver Kahn).
So its very likely that the USA will win at Friday.

Sorry, I had to miss the game last night. I had painted my living room and I chose the more exciting activity of watching the paint dry rather than snore through a soccer game.
I can expect the Euros to go crazy over Soccer because they aren't manly enough for real American games like football or baseball, but what is it with all you good Americans who are suddenly soccer fans? Did you listen to one too many Barbera Streisand albums and turn gay? Soccer is a girl's game here in America.
This soccer phenonoma has got to stop. Every weekend if you drive by a school field you can see several soccer games going on between five year olds. They're all wearing those studmuffingy looking shiny soccer shirts as they prance like sissies after the ball, trying in vain to actually kick the damn thing. Their yuppie parents sit along the sideline in para-chairs, umbrella and ice chest equipped, dutifuly holding little Piercy's water bottle in wait of the next time out. We are raising an entire generation of yup-pup, soccer playing little girly men. If this trend continues we will end up just like the Euros- a society without manliness.
Wake up America. We have become the greatest nation on Earth because we have so much more tetesterone than our Euro counterparts. Who leads the world in murders? We do! Who leads the world in robberies? We do! Who leads the world in rapes? Uh....Africa does... but who starts the most wars? We do!
I say we ban all males from soccer- and while we're at it, ban all males from figure skating, too, and all derivitives of figureskating- like ice hockey. Keep America Manly.

Now there's a troll if ever I saw one.
Get a life, and lose the 'if its not american it sucks' attitude. I am not going to even get into the soccer vs american football thingie.
Your country did great at the world cup. Thats what this thread is about. Your lame diatribe just lowers the tone. Take your rubbish elsewhere, and stop trying to hijack this thread.

Well said Elfenwolf. It might be satirical... but I totally agree. :D

Check it out Elf, its like this, Football or Soccer is a National sport in every country in the world, except us, and Canada ofcourse. We play "soccer" for fun, at 4th of July picnics, or with friends in the backyard. Doesn't really mean anything to us. So wouldn't it be cool if we went to the biggest Sporting event in the world and won it with our barbecue team, and brought home the Cup and set it on the picnic table, and drank a couple of beers. It would show the world how BAD we really are.;)

@elfenwolf
1st ask yourself who is more a man - the person who fights against the other in this ridiculous armor with a funny helmet or the one who does not have to wear such a nonsense.
2nd - Just because you in the USA were never able to create a round ball and instead invented a ridiculous game where you could use your egg-shaped balls - it doesnt man that we in Europe accept such a stupidy. :D
3rd - your football is a big show like wrestling. Its really funny that you think that this shows are a kind of sport.
OK - You have these funny cheerleaders (this is something intersiting indeed...) a big music show and there is a kind of game where your armored bulls are running around - trying to play with this egg you call a ball. But to define this as a sport ?
What comes next ?
Medieval knight games with morning stars ?
Egg-shaped morning stars ?
:D
4th - That the US-girls are playing soccer instead of trying to play with the egg-shaped ball in an ugly personal armor just proves that the females in the USA are more intelligent than the males...
:D :D :D :D :D
-
Babek, the REAL reason Euros don't play any game that requires you to actually throw a ball is because Euros throw like sissys. All you can do is kick like little girls.
If I had a son there would be 3 things I would NEVER allow him to do- Play with dolls, wear a dress or play soccer.
AS A MATTER OF FACT, our football players ARE modern day gladiators. They are the biggest, the strongest, and the fastest. They are the most manly of American men. Well, all except the kickers of course. They're all a bunch of studmuffingly little Euro soccer players who have no need for a jock strap.

Sure... like your great wrestling stars. :D
They are big, strong, and fast - and looking extremely gay in their helmets armor and these shorts showing some eggs more than the one in the game :D :D :D
And the whole time they play with this egg...
Do you know how we call a man who is playing too much with an egg here in Germany ? ;) :D :D
Continue to admire your american gladiators, wrestling stars and show-men.
We will to continue to play real sport instead of presenting wrestling-shows.
BTW - Baseball is a game which I like. Its only this football I consider so ridiculous. Again: THEY PLAY WITH AN EGG !!!!
Ein Ei ! Kommt ihr euch da nicht etwas albern vor ?

OK - maybe the following story will show you why I dislike football.
Years ago I worked in a hospital in Frankfurt and on my duty station there was a beautiful colleague. A really beautiful woman !
So maybe this was the reason why my brain has been shut down when she asked me if I would like to go with her watching a football match.
I said "Yes".
Big mistake... REALLY BIG MISTAKE...
After some seconds I asked myself why in hell there were people in Germany playing football.
But - Ok - we went to the game between two teams called Frankfurt Galaxy and something from the Netherlands.
Unlike a normal soccer game I thought I have entered a Disney Land for poor people. The whole people were on an area where they could make bullriding on an automated bull things and many other of these american like games.
Then we went into the stadion. This was the part which was Ok because it is normally a soccer stadion and I knew it from before.
The next was the marching-in of the teams. They all weared the armors, their helmet and their gay-looking trousers.
When the names of the players were told, I recognized some names as those od retired german soccer-players. What a pity - I thought. After such a great soccer life they ended in gay trousers...
Then I saw that some of the players had made a funny warpainting in their faces.
I wouldnt have been astonished if they would start to take skalps from others...
I tried to read the rules which were printed on the backside of the entrence-card.
Then the cheerleaders arrived (that was the funny part).
And the game started.
These men in the funny armors, helmets and gay-trousers took a special formation. Everyone was obviously waiting for a start signal. Then the two lines crashed into each other while this egg (EGG !!!! ) was thrown in the wrong direction back to a man who was waiting for it. This man threw it then to another of his team who tried to break through the lines but - BECAUSE ITS AN EGG - he missed him, which didnt hindered the men of the other team to continue their attack on the man and to bury him under their weight.
I tried again to read the rules while some referees in funny black and white clothes were speaking some strange things in microphones.
The whole game was boring for me - there was no tactic like in soccer. All the times they tried to hit the others and to catch the egg.
Then one man reached the end of the side and started to cheer - like the others in the stadion. I started to applaude ... and then registered that this was a mistake because the people from the Netherlands had made a goal.
OK - I thought - this was a mistake I will not repeat and continued to read these strange rules.
I was still irritated when I saw how a man tried to kick the egg between two large posts.
He failed - BECAUSE HE HAD TO SHOOT AN EGG INSTEAD OF A REAL BALL !
The cheerleaders were showing their program during the game - which was really strange (but more interesting than the game ) . I just waited that some advertising products wouls also be presented.
Then the people again cheered.
I had lerned my lesson and didnt cheered with them - and again this a mistake, because Frankfurt had made a goal. This time the man really made the stunt and kicked the egg between the posts.
And now I was cheering with the others around me. :D
The game was still boring - but after the game we had a nice after-game program ;)
So - alhough the football game was a horror and really not understandable for me, the day ended in a very good way...
Now - do you understand why I think that football is some kind of show instead of a real sport like soccer ?
;) :D ;)

USA go get germany
just sing :
Deutchland deutchland alles ist vorbei
alles ist vorbei alles ist vorbei

I think I have figured it out. You didn't, or couldn't understand the rules.
To say that American Football does not require "tactic" is about as dumb as saying European Football doesn't require athletisism. To someone who doesn't understant the rules and strategy of European football, that game also appears to be more about skinny guys running around kicking a ball, than about any tactics. But once you learn the rules, you can understand what's going on, and why teams act and react the way they do.
Anyhow, Europeans should encourage us Yanks to play American football. Because if we ever get really interested in European Football, you guys will never win another World Cup. :eek: ;)

You see in Euroland we too have a game with egg shaped balls, very similar to american "football". We call it rugby, main difference is our men dont need 3 feet of polystyrene wrapped around em:) We do it bareback, like real men!
Face it American footie is a show, a good show, but still a show. You guys like it, fair play to you. Have some fun, eat the hotdogs, shout "ra ra ra - wheres my bra", leave the thread hijacking and slanging off the euros to when your down the bar.
You see you have no idea what football is about, you have never seen guys on sunday morning in the pouring rain getting their legs broke under tackles, why? Because as soon as someone tackles in american footie, the game stops, thats the bit I dont like about it.
Your country has done a huge thing getting this far so cut the whine and get behind em. The only reason you really object is that deep down your afraid that americans might just prefer soccer to your native game. Face it and cut the whines.
If sissy euros like me can muster up the energy to cheer on the US football team then it seems the least a US citizen can do?

This is a funny thread, I love to read Elfenwolfs posts. I laughed myself silly over this one. I may not always agree with him, but man, can he ever write a hilarious post!
Hint: Guys, some of the things Elfenwolf says arent meant to be taken seriously. I thought that this was self-evident but apparently I was wrong. ;)
Oh and by the way, GO USA, WIN THE WORLD CUP!

Durr,
Most of Elfenwolfs posts are also in threads directly related to US Society and the Left Right fighting in our country. I think this is the first time that EW has "reached across the pond." It's good to know that there are unfished waters out there lol.

Uh...Is Rugby that game where the men all wear Daisy Duke shorts and have group hugs every three minutes? What do you talk about during those group hugs? Interior decorating tips?
As far as "doing it bareback like real men," well... judging by the way you Euros throw a ball I've always suspected that to be the case. :)

She fell in love with a linebacker from the Amsterdam Admirals, and never saw poor Gremlin again.
But seriously though, do ex-efootball players actually play in the NFLEurope? I mean other thank Kickers.

NFL Europe, or american football in Europe is a joke. Its like Baseball, we have that here too, but its only for the weirdows if you know what I mean. (Think cricket)
Actually I think there are more americans playing "catch the goat" (You know that arab game where a bunch of arabs on horseback try to steal a decapitated goat-carcass) than there are europeans playing Baseball or Football.
-
The one true American bred (although some canuck ;) came up with it) sport is still Basketball, and the entire world plays it. Nothing else requires such a combination of skill, speed & strength.
SI did a study a number of years back to determine which sport had the best all around athletes. Basketball won.

I don't think so soccer is just to commercial here
soccer got the imagination to become rich with
so kids go play soccer
i never liked soccer when i was a kid been playing base ball instead
most kids just don't know better it's like religion
USA sports are much better than european sport
common europe knows only soccer
USA it's baseball football and basketball
at least some more choice
In europe u can never become rich with these sports
because it's not comercial enough
Baseball is very beautiful
:D
-
OK, my take on sports is pretty simple. I wait till the Home Team gets in the finals, then I read a newspaper so I know the players names , and I become an 'expert'
Let me see if I got this correct. You got this ball, a big grass field with goals at each end and you can't use your hands; except the Goalie, who wares a different color shirt causing it to look like there are four teams and there's a referee with yellow and red cards who sticks them in players faces when they'er bad.
Is that it?
-
"Is that it?"
For the most part yeah. But there's also the fact that when time runs out, the game is not over until the ref, using a very sophisticated system of counting in his head to an arbitrary number, stops the game. Thankfully, they can't count that high. :p
-
What Gremlin said :D
Play Rugby without this all protecting suits and i will call yas "da men" ... with this funny suits ya are "da showmen" ;)

The only reminiscent of gladiators in the modern world is called "Toros". An "sport" played in the old Europe that requires a pair of rounded balls :p
