stay n skool I dont have time to respond right now it would be lengthy but what im getting from a lot of people on this forum, just saying we are going to win the group is nonsense. yes we have a chance to advance, a decent chance, but some of you act like we are the favorites. We have holes all over the field, its ridiculous. we dont have the passion we had in 02 either, thats just my opinion. the morocco game was crap, we are not deep whatsoever.

I like Germany tommorrow by3 goals, and i like ecuador 2-1

lol...you are soooo far off base. 'We don't have the passion like 02'...the US and the African teams probably have the most passion than anyone out there. The European and South American players are the ones w/o passion(France, Spain, ITALY, Argentina, Portugal...) Those guys don't really care about the WC, its just another game to them, and if they lose, they might get booed for a week and then people will forget about it and they will go back to their high-profile teams with their huge contracts and movie-star wifes...

 

My point is that this is the only time the US has the only chance to show themselves and prove themselves...this chance alone will make them play with more passion than anyone..

Wow, the US really brought their "A" game for this one. What a disgusting game by the Americans, they didn't even look like they cared that they were losing. At least I got to see some great football by the Czechs.

 

Beasley was absolutely useless. McBride and Donovan about as potent as an attack squirrel. What burned me what the way Arena just sat back totally resigned to the result even when it was 2-0. Thta is no doubt a great motivation to the team.

 

I thought Reyna was the only one who played with any kind of passion.

 

The Czechs dominated the midfield and challenged for every ball. They were many many times superior to the US team.

Hate to say "I told you so" but I think its necessary here after all the crap I took for saying that the U.S. has lacked passion as of late, lacked quality and just plain is not playing well. All of the statements I made were proven today and I was very dissapointed in the play of the U.S. A horrid performance, probably the worst I have seen them play since they lost to Iran at France 98' Rosicky and Nedved are just too good and who knows how many more goals Czech would have gotten if Koller didnt tear his hamstring.

Beasley, Convey useless. Defense was unorganized, the entire team was just SLOW all over the field. I dont think the Czechs even went 100% they coasted through this game, very dissapointing, not the result, the effort, an absolute embarrassment. You guys did not see this coming, I did, the passion is not there, apparently Beasley and Donovan think they are superstars or something. Lewis couldnt cross a ball correctly if his life depended on it, I mean I see children who can cross balls in better than Lewis did today. Ok im done venting.

I know very little about soccer and has to listen to it on XM, but it even sounded embarassing. I got to admit that I was expecting more fro mthem today. 0-1-0 with a -3 goal differential? They better shape up and shape up fast. It's going to take an attitude check and a Ghana upset now for them to have a shot to make round 2.

    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover.
