And a respectable ref away from an actual 11 v 11 match, or a late PK opportunity.


Yep. The first half before the highly questionable ejection we were toe to toe with allmighty Italy. We are getting better and with the correct combination of players I could see the US making the final eight in 2010.

We are. We absolutely are. Funny thing is that after Clark was sent off, we really started to settle down and create opportunities. We played well most of the game. It sucks to lose, but I'll commend the effort.

In 02 we advanced to the final eight. After a world shocker of beating Portugal, tying Korea, then losing to Poland we were in to the round of knockouts and who do we draw? None other than Mexico, who we pwned 2-0. In the final 8 you are almost guaranteed a game with a good team, and thats we what we got in the eventual 2nd place Germany (in a game that SHOULD have gone to fricking extra time due to fricking Frings).
