I won't say anything more, but just watched two USA games.
USA - Czech Republic, some days ago, 3-0. I don't care, as I said before, Czech Republic is a great team, a bit old, but great, giant, I even doubt Italy can win against them, and still wonder how did they lose against Ghana...
USA - Portugal, 3-2 for USA, all I can say, and I say it, maybe because I'm portuguese, WTF with that Korean wheater? USA's way more near of them than Portugal, so there's a great chance the americans are more used to that than we do. And we were with an awful coach... I still wonder why is he still in career, he is the total suckage, made us lose early in the 2002 World Cup and the 2006 U-21 Euro...
It's a growing team, anytime better, but I don't find them appropriate to achieve the Quarter-Finals.
