    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    I was able to attend the Real Madrid/DC United tilt in Seattle back in August, unfortunately I had no camera with me. My friend and I had really good seats though, halfway up the upper deck, stradling the midfield line. It was quite a show in the first half, many good chances for Van Nistilroy...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    The US did play poorly in a game they had to win. The 1 goal they scored was a good goal, but the rest of their play just seemed lackadaisicle (sp) and like they weren't concerned about winning. I don't know if that's a coach or a player problem, but that says volumes about the team. And what's...

    Wow, the US laid an egg today. As I read somewhere, this is what happens when you run into one of the best teams in the world, but it seems like they didn't put in as much effort as they have in the past.

    Don't get me wrong, I still root for teams in CONCACAF to do well (outside of Mexico, unless it sets up a US v Mexico match in the elimination round like 2002). I guess you can compare it to Red Sox/Yankees, Cowboys/Redskins, or from the 80's Lakers/Celtics. You never see fans of one team...

    FIFA World Cup - Germany 2006

    US fan here, as well as Brazil (call me a front runner if you will, but I love the way they play the game). I'm also rooting for Costa Rica, Ivory Coast, T&T, and Togo; gotta root for the small guys :) I cannot believe that there are people here rooting for the US and Mexico. Maybe it's my...
