They were the seeded team yes, but they are ranked 13, the USA 5, and the Czechs 2.

Skill-wise they couldn't match up with the Czechs, and also the tactics employed.

Update: Also they've just mentioned that Donovan's been very quiet (well, duh, I could have said that

) - they called him the "golden boy" before the game started.

Golden boy maybe in the context of US football, not world football

Don't get me wrong - I like him, but I don't get the "love affair" with him either on this kind of performance.

And ref, don't add any extra time - we've had quite enough to stomach already.

I agree with that, I havent been a fan of Bruce Arena in the last month or so, he works in qualifying and can motivate for the Cup, but he doesn't plan well for the big boys usually.

One word: Dissapointed.

US sucked in this game.

Chisanga · 06-12-2006, 01:49 PM

Itlay and Czech Republic to qualify from this group I think

Note: I reserve the right to alter my opinion based onthe game to be played next.

imation · 06-12-2006, 01:49 PM

Looks like I will be rooting for Mexico the rest of the way. Since that is the only American team worth rooting for.
