Glad to see Hedjuk...

i heard dempsey was taken out of the lineup cuz he got into a fight or some crap lol !!! thats hilarious

Donovan is out with an injury

Yea I heard that...any clue how long for, I hope he is gonna play when I go see US vs Jamicia on April 11th. Is it minor?

Unfortunatly now along with Donovan is Frankie Hedjuk (hamstring) not playing on wensday

it seems like germany has a full squad.. the US has a few european players but not the full squad.. im looking foward to watchin the game still .. i hope the US can suprise even w/o a full squad

yea if US loses this game it hurts our momentuem but doesnt really matter all that much. We are definitly not using our best squad. Bruce Area said himself "It is not about a win but about how well we play against the German's". I still hope we can pull a win off, I think Keller is gonna have a really big game. I wish Donovan was playing because I would like to see him against Kahn, he is awsome.

Prediction:
US: 1 (Josh Wolff)
Ger: 0 (after about 3 huge saves by Keller)


If US is to win they really need Keller to have a clean sheet.

im gonna say 1-1 and e. johnson gets the goal

Half 0-0

Germany dominated the first 12 mins then USA started to hit the ball around and make some chances. Germany was strong the entire 1st half, very physical team. USA comitted way to many fouls near Kellers box. Some questionable calls like the yellow given to Zavagnin and the foul on Ching in Germanys box (should have gone the other way or no call at all).

USA had some good chances by a break by Convey who beat one defender but was blocked by the second on a shot in Germanys box. Conrad also had a chance on a shot but I dont think he was expecting it being a defender and all, he miss hit his shot.

Very intense game more to come after the second half.

78:43 Germany scores 4th goal (4-0 Germany)

at this point i really start to miss onyeu (however you spell it) after the last 2 goals scored off defensive mistakes. 2nd goal was a nice goal rip off a half volley from about 20 yards. First goal was a free kick put in by Germany, Keller got caught not knowing whether it was gonna be tipped or not and it went right in the side panel.
