Congrats on 500 MonkDrillz

thanks, I'm not special anymore.

Less than 24 hours until the USA takes the field against the Chek republic. Man, I'm nervous! We are in such a tough group. Well, hopefully, we'll have some of the magic from 2002 still working.

The cup has been great so far, IMO. T&T from CONCACAF pulled out an awesome draw, Mexico looked good, and there have been some sweet goals--a few in Germany's opener especially.

BTW, check out this slideshow of soccer star wives and girlfriends. Man, it is the "beautiful game"!

For those that don't necessarily follow soccer but follow things like the NBA and Major League Baseball, this is a good read

landon donovan is one lucky bum to have Bianca Kajlich.

its halftime and things are not looking good....

i'm at work, whats the score?

It was 2-0 Czech.

The US got *SPANKED* 3-0. I think we're not as good as we thought. It's going to take a sh*t load of effort to get out of this group and it's not looking good because even if the US comes in second place in the group as they'll take on Brazil in the qualifying round.

Another bad thing about this game is that they are in a big hole in the battle for goals for/against. Basically, they need to beat both Ghana and Italy to advance.

officially 3-0, US lost, we looked terrible out there. Bad passing, terrible defense, I wouldnt put all the blame on Keller. The offense is to blame as well, really did not have anything going whatsoever. Hopefully this shocks the US, because this was way overhyped, and I personally feel we went in way too cocky. The US still isnt anywhere near the world when it comes to soccer, and we got lots of work ahead of us. If we win the next two, then we are in for sure, but Italy might not be that easy, and Ghana isnt suppose to be terrible. Our best bet, is that Italy and Ghana tie today, and we win out. We could still get in with a win and a tie, but that would be pushing it. The goal differential is already fcked up for us with this 3 nil loss.
