They got a lot of young guys, which maybe will turn some people off. But that 4-0 thrashing of Australia is still in my mind.

Neither will be an easy match for us, but I'd rather see Ghana on the other side then Germany.

But then again, Ghana is carrying the hopes of Africa on their backs.

4-0 over Australia was a big game for Germany. However, remember that we beat Australia 3-1 days before the WC began.

Very favorable matchup for the USA. In the most recent world rankings, Ghana was in the 30's and not expected to advance to the next round (Germany was 5th and Serbia was just outside the top 10).

England/Germany will be a good one.

Yep. How come they're not giving the goalkeeper any credit for getting that play started?

Agree. A few writers are catching on.

Obviously have to beat Ghana (no easy task), but a secondary blessing of topping the group is that we're not on Argentina's side.
