that sucks... we had so much hope, but then the ref just ruin it.... how does swiss do it? first with france, now with us... or maybe i'm just realy mad cause my country lost..
I feel sorry for you, buddy. It's very unfortunate that your team can't advance with 4 points. But they have given a good performance overall in this World Cup. You guys are the best team in Asia.
Germans are just getting stronger and stronger each game...it's looking scary for other teams....they look so methodical and precise in their game....no fancy passing...just grit and determination with major skills.
I do not like Germany much but much props to them for coming out in this tourney and playing attacking beautiful soccer and not conservatively. Watchout, this is setting up to be a classic. Sweden will come back and even out.
Yeah they aren't very fancy. They just play technical football and score some nice goals...Germany has taken Ibrahimovic out of the game and i don't see them equalizing this one.
I was kind of hoping for a German flame out. That way, they'd fire Klinnsman and he can take over for Bruce Arena. Kind of like waiting for the Broncos to lose in the playoffs so that the Texans could hire Kubiak... The more I watch this WC, the more unfulfilled I feel. I'm so disappointed in the performance of the US team. Areana is right about a few things. We need more of our young talent to go to Europe. Freddie Adu has said he's going as soon as he's eligible. That's great! Donovan needs to get his ass over there ASAP. If you didn't like it in Germany, fine. Go to Holland. Go to England. Learn to deal with adversity, fighting for a spot, fighting against relegation, fighting for promotion. I think Clint Dempsey should get a shot soon. Arena is also right that the US needs to play more top flight competition. Quit turning down Copa America invites. So what if it pulls players out of the MLS? So what if the Euro based players have to play in the summer? What do you think the South American players are doing? Winning the Gold Cup is nice and all, but it's a watered down version of CONCACAF qualifying. I was also one that was saying that it didn't matter who you played in the WC warm-up matches. I was wrong. Get over there earlier and play the better countries like Mexico did. In 2010, get to S. Africa and go play who ever else is there. Latvia doesn't quite cut it. Bruce Arena got us to another level. He turned the USMNT into a more professional organization. He should be elected to the US Soccer Hall of Fame. However, he's taken them as far as he can. He is the best American coach there is. That's why the next coach will need to come from Europe.
That yellow card was not warrented...there goes Swedens chances..even though i say they were already out of it.
That was a lame second yellow. This is an elimination game, you don't put a team down like that for barely grabbing the guy. Ibrahimovic needs to be taken out. He doesn't look mobile at all. He's just walking aroung and not able to control the ball.
Yup..he has been a huge dissapointement for someone that came out and said he is the best player in the Cup.
Ibrahimovic is a very good player....he has some of the best dribbling and footwork skill in the world and so athletic for his size. I think that injury has really bogged him down. He was brilliant in Euro2004. Check this sick goal out his scored while he played at Ajax in Holland: Slick Dribbling Goal
