Well done Di Rossi for giving that dirty cheating bastard Essien a taste of his own medicine.

I'm ashamed in the US. Maybe if they tried attacking forward a bit more instead of constantly passing backwards we could have done something. Donovan and Beasley played like crap. And the 4-4-1-1 deal was horrible. We aren't a smart enough team to pull that off.

I hope we start Eddie Johnson against Italy and we do a bit more attacking or this will be a short tournament.

duuuuuude....i'm just watching Italy vs. Ghana....you have no chance in hell against either teams...Italy are fucking MASSIVE! they're fast, agressive and offensive....i'd say one of the favourites of the tournament...i can't wait for the second part of the championship to start so i can stop watching bullshit games like Japan:Australia or USA vs. the chechs....this tournament is gonna be awesome....
oh and Johnsons isn't really that good, he had a couple of oportunities to score and he missed the entire goal....that's not a class player...:-/
i'm surprised the US are so weak...i saw some snippets from your national league and it didn't seem all that bad...plus you have a few players in europe....*shrugs*

I was watching the first half of the game between Italy and Ghana in school today and what I saw was pretty amazing. A goal right before half time. Nice

Peace

Well what you saw today was the worst performance i've seen from the US squad. Really no cohesiveness between them at all, and just played with no emotion. I don't see us making it out of the first round either...but if i had to make a guess I say we tie Italy and lose to Ghana. Strange I know, just a guess.

American soccer just isn't big enough yet. The country as a whole really doesn't care and the countries best athletes just aren't interested in soccer.

Donavon plays like crap...US plays like crap

The US is a country of rebels. We are just catching up with things like cycling, football(soccer) and the metric system.

I blame the brits. Plus we're a continent removed, that doesn't help.
