World Cup Group E: Czech Republic vs. United States [P + R]

[TheBlueBalla]

Dude, talk about getting smoked like a joint. What you have here is the inevitable result of massive expectations that were just unrealistic as hell. Yeah, the US overachieved massively in 2002. Yeah, they beat Portugal. But when you constantly trawl out that, and the fact that they are 10th in a farcical ranking system, the media just built them up for one big fall. On top of that, the Czech's are perrenial overachievers and played so well as a team unit two years ago

Rosicky. 6.8 mill Bargain.

steal is more like it, but...

Why didn't we sell him AFTER the World Cup?!

thats a good question, because his EURO was brilliant and the national team form didnt translate. Whether or not he can do it in England at a club level. If he becomes this deadly for Arsenal, I will be scared

 

[El Diablo Rojo]

The Italians call it "calcio"

And in the spanish that speak spanish it's called "Fútbol". That's a different matter from calling "soccer", just watch Australia.

Anyway... Great match by czechs, i believe this has been the best performance by an european club so far in this world cup. On the second at first it looked like United States was stuck on their field but eventually that Johnson guy turned into the best of United States on the second half, however it still didn't change that they kept doing all the crosses wrong and that Cech and the defense were solid. Also Grygera had an excellent game.

Nedved + Rosicky = :Bow:

 

[Trequartista]

I would've rather seen Dempsey on the field than O'Brien, maybe he could've given us some energy...

 

[Juventino]

Why didn't we sell him AFTER the World Cup?!

I think Rosicky had a release clause in his contract... I think I read that somewhere. I'm not 100% sure though.

I think the USA can win this one, people are severely underestimating them.

who do u think usa is God? if ur gonna come back with the excuse usa is ranked #5 dont give me that **** the only reason they r ranked so high s because they play teams that dont have a chance of going to the world cup teams like purto rico, el salvador, and canada. if supposedly landon donavon is the best person on usa y would he be sitting on the bench in the germen league no way can he match up against nedved or ne other world class midfielder u think usa can do good give me a break

 

[Avalanche]

Wow. We looked like total sh*t out there today. If I put in a tape of the 1990 encounter against Czechoslovakia* and compared it to today's match, I wouldn't have seen the difference. One match and its already over imo. There's no f*cking way we'll beat Italy, and we will somehow underestimate Ghana, and lose to them. Face it: its already over lads, so why bother trying?

*=In the interest of full disclosure, the Czechoslovakia v. USA match at Italia '90 was the first soccer match I ever watched. At least it did some good for someone.

He was terrible at Dortmund and this game was an exception..let's see what he does in the remainder of the tournament!

 

[Socrates]

What a terrible performance by us...the fullbacks sucked as did the wingers. Well just about everyone was crap really, just waiting for the ball and not doing anything with it when they got the ball. The Czech blocked out everything else and plyed a very nice game.

 

[Kezman8]

LMAO!!! Hilarious U.$.A defeat !!!!

The Czechs were awesome. It's funny about all this "US Attacks" bull**** advertising campaign pretty much wasted the Americans' money (those attending the stadium)

This should definitely make the U.S lose their HUGE EGO SUPERIORITY COMPLEX bull****. They only have the complex against Mexico. The rest of the good teams OWN THEM.


hahaha... I wonder why they didn't have the same attitude they had against the Mexicans? Oh wait, because the U.S trembled like a little P*SSY! They win against Mexico and they celebrate as if they won the ****en world cup! hahah

Well, the yanks should stick to baseball; oh wait, Japan and Cuba OWNs that sport !!


:Carlos*o:

Did you talk all this crap when Poland, Serbia, and Japan lost? If not, then try showing some respect. We're all just fans here.

Why do you hate us so much? I mean you guys didnt play great yesterday?

 

[schils]

OWNS? Thats comical!!! Why? Because they've been good RECENTLY? Shifty*rod! Check back through H I S T O R Y and tell me who owns baseball...

To all the guys laughing at the US, just be thankful we DO have a country that plays multiple pro sports on a HUGE level, and no matter how you try and come back to this and slice it, you won't change the fact that our biggest, strongest, fastest, highest leaping, most skilled, etc, etc, athletes will always play American football, basketball, baseball, hockey, boxing, etc, its a $$ thing...thats just a fact - look what happens in the Olympics WHEN we DO send our best athletes...we kick a$$ in nearly everything (with an ocassional exception) but especially the guys from the smaller countries talking smack NOW. Look at some of the guys playing for the US today - 5'8" @148#, 5'7"@160#, 5'6"@142#, etc...gimmie a break!! These are just "good" athletes that WERE NOT BIG ENOUGH or good enough to play our premier sports, so they go to soccer. Compare them to the Czech team now? You see...if we DID use our best ATHLETES, guys who can run 4.4 in the forty, have a 40" vertical leap, etc..and have we have 300 million to select from vs say, 15 million who usually ONLY play soccer\football, we'd do much better as a team and again, thats just a FACT...not saying there are not exceptions of GREAT soccer players that are smaller in stature, but as a whole, IT MATTERS. But oh well, we do play other sports here, so this will undoubtedly always be the routine....see you boys in the next Olympics where I'm sure YOU won't have anything to say THEN, eh? =)

BTW, why do you think our WOMEN soccer team does so well globally, hmm? Because there is no US womans baseball, football, hockey, etc, leages, get it now??

 

[champdave]

Calm down here people, he's looking to provoke a reaction. It is bitterly disappointing to loose, but it's only one match out of 3.

Hey not everyone was poor.I don't like them but don't come down on Owneywu or watever his name is.He was great under the circumstances,jus look at who his partner was Eddie Pope..........enough said.He'a young lad aswell jus 24 or 22 I think.Owneywu was already linked with a move to the Prem before the WC started I hope he get the move.

[teccomin]

3.5 berths for concacaf? joke....
