What a meltdown by the United States today at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund! Germany 4-0 United States.

GOALS - (Germany) Bastian Schweinsteiger 46', Oliver Neuville 73', Miroslav Klose 75', Michael Ballack 79'.

STARTERS - (Germany) O. Kahn, A. Friedrich, P. Lahm, P. Mertesacker, C. Metzelder, M. Ballack, S. Kehl, B. Schneider, G. Asamoah, M. Klose, L. Podolski. (United States) K. Keller, G. Berhalter, S. Cherundolo, J. Conrad, C. Gibbs, P. Mastroeni, B. Convey, K. Zavagnin, B. Ching, E. Johnson, J. Wolff.

85th minute 4-1 Cherundolo

Hits it from about 70 yards out to eddie johnson who collides with kahn trying to head the ball, it goes over him and rolls in the goal. Pretty strange goal but pretty awsome.

we got our A** handed to us

Germany did have their full squad basically and we did not have close to a full squad. If Johnson's header goes in, it could have been a much different game.

One last thing, I have said this before on this board... a 3-5-2 is next to impossible to play in International Soccer. You have to have three world class backs and we just do not have that.

Game Over
Germany 4
USA 1

The second half was really bad, not as many chances from the US team, and Germany starts to finish all the chances that they had in the first half. I would say possesion of the game went about Germany 60% to US 40%...

USA was definatly outplayed and Italy beat Germany 4-1 so I think they have their hands full for that game. Although this US squad was shorthanded.

People who impressed me:
Convey
Gibbs
Mastroeni

People who i was wondering what they were doing on that field: (not saying they are bad just not their best game ever)
Berhalter
Ching

..walk in the door 4-1 Germany.. 45 seconds and stoppage to go. Bleh.

i loved bobby convey...we decided taht he looks like Beans from "Even stephens" and oliver kahn look lik Macgyver.

lol i can see convey looking like that but i think kahn looks like a horse.

Kahn = Lou Ferrigno (The Hulk)

Kahn looks like the best GK in the game today (maybe ever)

and that's what he is
