Koller won't have ONE chance in this game with this guy on him

I hope the Czechs win this one. Pavel Nedved's the key man.

Not that I don't like USA but you guys are too confident and too cocky. Never seen any country hype their team so much.

After the commentator in Japan game said that USA gona win their group and 2nd place in Brazil group is important, I turned my TV off.

i think a 3-0 defeat would be a respectable result and significant progress will have been made

How would losing 3-0 be considered "progress"? Progress from what? From beating Portugal and reaching the quarterfinals? Progress indeed.

Official starting line-up!!

I love it. Great holding midfield and great wing play on both wings although Beasley has to play better than he did in the friendlys.

Arena's trying to congest the midfield in order to slow down those lightning-fast Czech attacks.

Lmao, there's a player named Gooch? Is his sub Taint?

Best of luck to the USA!

Exactly. Hopefully it won't get too messy. I can see a Johnson for Reyna/Mastroeni sub if that happens.

No his name is Oguchi Onyewu but everyone calls him Gooch.

Yeah, pumping up the team is fine and all that, but Lalas claiming Keller is the best goalkeeper in the world is especially hyperbolic considering two of the best keepers in the world play in this group

I cant believe Baros wont play. And personally, I dont think anyone is taking the US lightly. They've been talking all morning about the "swagger" this team supposedly has after 2002

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Obligatory.

Where the hell did my post go?

won't happen.

Nothing wrong with being confident. The media is making it seem as if the players think they are the best in the world when that is not the case. They are just confident and ready. They have the confidence that they can go as far as winning the cup if they play at their best.

That's one thing I agree with. The US media is seriously overrating Kasey Keller, and all our goalkeepers in general. I cringe every time I hear someone say Kasey Keller is one of the top keepers in the world. He's a great goalkeeper, but come on, he plays for Borussia Monchenglgadlgjdlaglkadgkldaglsakglbach.
