Tough competition for the 'keepers spot: [http://www.uglyfootballers.com/ugly\_files/world\_2002/g\_burgos.html](http://www.uglyfootballers.com/ugly_files/world_2002/g_burgos.html) However, with those new sideburns I think he deserves selection. Owwww, off the line ! Handball ?? ---

I am astonished at what the BBC commentator just said: “There’s probably a few thousand American fans watching, bemused, perhaps wondering when they’re going to pick up the ball with their hands”. Yes, because Americans don’t know how soccer works! [insert rolleyes] US playing well on the attack. Go US! ---

I had a premonition that Mathis would score a goal in this game. We’ll see if it was really just gas. ---

Now why does that not surprise me? 😉 Maybe if the U.S. wins it will be some kind of visceral evenge for '74? I still think Holland should have won, but it’s too late now. ---

Last time I posted, Germany scored. Maybe this one will change the luck a little bit. ---

That was supposed to say ‘revenge’ and was meant as a response to kaese’s post. (Damn American keyboards. No umlauts, and I have no idea which five keys I need to press simultaneously to get an umlaut) ---

Bruce Arena’s just taken Hugh Dallas off his Christmas Card list. There’ll be a red card soon. There always is when Hugh’s in charge.
