both teams!  Fantastic match.  A bit unlucky for the Americans not to pull an equalizer, but what a fediddlein' run in this tourney by the Yanks!

Give 'em hell Germany!

LOL! what a thriller game it was ;) - good show US guys !
I didnt expect Germany to survive that long in the tourney,
and now we are in the semi-finals :D *g*

What counts are the goals and not if a team plays
nice soccer style ;) Man now i hope we make it to the
finals against Brazil ! GO GERMANY GO !!

I managed to catch the England/Brazil game... What's with all the diving? Saw one guy get ejected due to some guy doing an amazing show of airborne ballet then collapse when he was grazed by, I think, the wind... Worse than a pick-up game of basketball in NYC.

The Germans had lead in the toes of their shoes.  It let them kick the the ball further.   It's a know fact......:rolleyes:

THe air is very foul in Germany, so when these guys get out of their own country it's almost as if they're super-charged. Anyone from an area where the air is fresher will get tired more quickly, or even sick.

At least in that regard Germany sucks.

They do have some damn fine soccer players, though.

Ermm... who exactly? You don't watch much football, obviously.

I'd rate only Oliver Kahn and Ballack as world class, with maybe Hamann on a good day. The rest are journeymen. Even that Klose fella.

The US deserved to win. The Germans were poor, but lucky. They've had an extremely easy route to the semis.

Go Brazil!!

i dont know whats up with this  "fine soccer players" ?
who cares about, what counts is to make the goal in
the right moment. You can have the finest players and
still lose everything in the quarter finals *G* :D

But ofcourse, Kahn is Nr.1 Goalkeeper in the world !

That German goalkeeper was impressive.  I'm pretty sure I would not want to run into him in a bar brawl.  The reason the US lost IMO is all the dumb fouls down near their own goal.  You give anyone that many chances and they'll come through.  I'm not a very experienced soccer fan, but did it seem to anyone else that the US got impatient near the German goal alot? Instead of working the ball around they'd just dump it in and hope for the best?
