Today's game showed how good Germany was. We had our chance.

Did Bob Bradley or Bruce Arena tweet anything about us after making the round of 16 in the group of death? People wouldn't likely care if they did.

Nazi bastard threw our game with them so they would get the easy side of the bracket with Brazil.

A congratulatory tweet is fine.


Kidding right? this is more than a congratulatory tweet?

Wouldn't you expect an American coaching another country to have this same response if the USMNT did something on this scale? It would be un-American for him not to still support his home country, correct?

I would hope a congratulatory remark would be issued, sure.

I'm not saying Jurgen shouldn't support Germany, I just don't like the tone in which he went about it.

Am I not allowed to feel that way? I have to feel the same way as you do about everything?

Jurgen feels this was the correct way to express his feelings of Germany's win today. You're OK by it, I'm not. And you know what, that's OK.

To be mad about a man celebrating his country's victory is a douche move.

If the US were still in it I could probably see your point... But they aren't. So what exactly is your problem with the tweet? Caps lock? Don't sugar coat, say what is really bothering you.

I don't see it that way. I see it as you, the U.S., is always competing with the other soccer nations.

If not on the pitch, then outside of it. Competing in every aspect of soccer. Competing for Gedion Zelalem or the next Julian Green, John Anthony Brooks, Fabian Johnson; competing for every step that the country makes as a soccer nation.

I said I didn't like the tone. I don't think that's sugar coating and pretty self explanatory. Jurgen made two tweets during the match that I felt the head coach of the USMNT and U.S. Technical Director should not make in the tone that he made them.

I'll be the douche and you be the ole wise soccer veteran that can see things without the Stars and Stripes glasses on. I'm fine with that.

I actually love that he said that. That is America. We all have foreign blood in one way or another (ok, well most - looking at you native americans). Tweets like that represent what made our country great in the past, and what makes us great right now.

We're a melting pot and I think that's what being American is all about.

This just proves that JK over reacted by changing up from his Germany line up.

Qe should not have moved Cameron to midfield.

Beckerman had 3 great games and JK benched one of our 2 best players in the W.C.
