Germany looks the best so far, but don't fall for it just yet...

Germany plastered Australia today, but let's not get over-excited just yet. Australia had a little bit to do with how good Germany looked. Team USA looked great against Australia too, and then had a tough time generating the same attack against England...

It's not important how you start a tournament, it's how good you finish that means everything...


(damn germans, bastards! LOL)

Germany looked great but Australia sucked.

Didn't Australia end up playing with 10?

Germany is a power house. Forget all that about Australia being a weak team. The US stands NO chance against Germany.

australia may not be a completely weak team, but they had horrific tactics which gave them ZERO chance of containing Germany. that article explains exactly what they did wrong and that outcome would have happened 9 times out of 10 whether that was australia or italy (and you best believe italy would never defend like that)

If Bob Bradley is a good manager, which I think he is, he won't make the same mistake in his approach to that potential round of 16 game against Germany... but all that depends on if the US finishes 2nd in the group.

The US will beat Germany if they play them mark my words

I dunno man. I mean it would be some good tv if they did, but I don't think the US is there yet. Four more years IMO before we start talking about all that. I could see Howard making some great saves to win it though, I suppose.
