I love it!!!!! Poland , Costa Rica and Ecuador, couln't be much better For US well.. difficult but not imposible
yeah i dont know how credible a irish american espn football sports caster and how much he knows about german football
Seeing they actually think they could win the Cup, or even make it out of their group for that matter, that's pretty rich.
just read the article...youre right! whats with all the german-hating? and the thing about the nazis..... please...... why bring up something half a century ago that people have tried so hard to recover from and that also so many people are ashamed of?? is this just this guy's opinion or are all americans like this??? i heard bruce arena knock australia and T&T the other day, whats with that? like as if australia qualified in an easier way than they did... and T&T are from the same confed, right? why go bashing a team for the same region? is it just a power trip to show whos the boss of the region? ruins the world cup spirit really...
Thanks for the link. Wow, did his German girlfriend dump him? What is surprising about Berlin in particular and Germany in general is the atmosphere: Malaise hangs in the air like fallen meringue. Germany is the financial engine of Europe and perhaps it is that pressure that makes the faces of the people so hard and weary. What is he talking about here anyway?: Germany's taken a fair number of hits lately, too; Refs fixing games, gangs beating each other senseless
No & Arena's comments were taken WAY out of context. He even reclarified what he said. He was not knocking Australia or T & T. Of course, the papaers printed the crap.
no, ofcourse not every single american is like that. i also read the story printed afterwards that arena followed up and said it was taken out of context. well either way, theres some people out there that arent too sportmanlike if u get my drift.
12th. June I will see the US team live in Gelsenkirchen. I hope the US. win vs. Czech, cause I bet the US in the semifinal and in the final. The man at the betting office ask how much beer I drank and if I really want to bet that. Sure, I bet it. I bet (one of it) 25 Euros for the final Germany vs. USA. When that happens I'll get out ???.??? Euros. A lot. When you laugh, I bet Greece at the Euro in the final and won, some Money, not the one I hope, I bet in a combi bet. But when the final was Germany vs Greece i`d won 925.000 Euros. Germany wasn`t in the Final so I get a min of it. But some pence rolled in.
Yeah, the article is very strange written. but if it´s his own exprerience. Hope he comes back and gets more impressions, perhaps also after the WC, so he could see, that the people are also friendly, when there is no WC.
Wasn't there some incident recently, when German and Polish hooligans met up and had some brawl ? Maybe that's what he's referring to.
Who cares? Thats life. And seriously the german people should get used to the fact, that the world just doesnt like us. I find it embarrassing how my people are going on their knees! Stand up. God damn it. Who cares what others say?
In general I do. But in general I would think it would be better if there would be no German but a European or even better a one-world identity...
I think the finale of the World cup will be GERMANY-USA (my favorite finale) or Germany-Holland (classic again) like in 1974 or maybe Germany-England. just my opinion. Many underestimate our team. I believe in our team. They can make it. Bltleo
lol u don't know much about Fussball? do you? both teams won't make it to the finals, the USA won't even win one game(toughest group, sorry guys).

My first team is GERMANy I believe that GERMANY will be in Finale. Is that wrong? My second favorite team is USA.
What you don´t believe that GERMANY will reach the Finale? I believe that. I believe that GERMANY will make it. USA - I have been following USMNT since 2002. I think their soccer is really getting better. I hope they will advance in their group. I would like to see them in Finale, but not sure if it will happen. But I think they advance first round 100%. But I strong believe in GERMANY . They will be in Finale. I bet on this.
yes Germany will be in the finals this year and with the crowd in Berlin supporting them there will be no stopping our team
