2-2. Prager, from Maric. Konfusion in Cottbus´ Abwehr. Ein Schuß von Ponte wird abgefälscht und kommt als Abpraller zu Maric. Der setzt mit einem Querpass Präger in Szene, der aus vier Metern den Ball unter die Latte hämmert. Confusion in Cottbus' defense. Not a good sign.
48 Riesenchance für Maric zum Führungstor. Mit einem langen Pass ist er an Torhüter Lenz bereits vorbei, doch er kann nicht genug Druck hinter den Ball bringen, so dass Berhalter den Ball nochvor der Linie erreichen und klären kann. Giant chance for Maric to score the lead. With a long ball he passes goalie Lenz, but he cannot get enough pressure behind the ball, so that Berhalter gets it before the line and clears.

Well here comes the first skid after a great start, no reason to panic, but lets see if Cottbus can get back on track.
soccerfan - we try not to post results to other games, especially if they are on tv. I took out the scores and put the table in white.
I have yet to see a time when it was OK to panic, but if they lose next week then things are looking grim.
no offense, but i only see a blank page on my post now, ...and what other game is on TV besides the live game today, i don't understand, please explain, ....my post is blamk now,why did i even bother brother cheers
Sorry - I should have said you have to highlight your post with your mouse in order to see it -- it's still there. Some people don't like to see tables either because they imply a result. The Bayer Leverkusen game was on TV yesterday. And remember, we have posters from Germany on here who have different games available to them than we do.
kaiserslauterns playin pretty damn well right now... maybe the panic should begin now to avoid the rush
I was zapping through the channels and suddenly heard some English on ORB, basically a channel for the federal state of Brandenburg, but via satellite also a nationwide channel. It was their weekly sports show Einwurf (Throw-In) and the interview guest in the studio was Gregg Berhalter. Unfortunately I don’t know how much I missed and also I did not react very quickly as I had to check to not delete something important on my video tapes, but here’s the passage of the interview I got. I would have liked to give you the original content, but unfortunately the interpreter was so incredibly loud that I couldn’t understand any full answer; some parts are fitting, some are just the rough content because of that. Stefan Simon (moderator): …… for you? Gregg Berhalter: It is more suited for me, but it is also suited for lots of players. We’re more organised, it goes without saying. We’re a very dangerous team. If you just take Marko Topic – he is very fast, very strong and helps our counter attacking play. SS: I heard that you have a special mixture of the Spreewald cucumbers and other specialities of the region? GB (laughs): We have a nice variety of things at home. My wife likes them… It’s great, I’m excited, there’s another baby coming along. SS: Now we want to have a short break to show some private pictures of Gregg Berhalter. Birgit Hoffmann accompanied him and his first son in Cottbus. [They play a short film showing Gregg pushing a baby carriage to a market. Music plays some weirdo 80s song “This is not America” (at least that’s the text, don’t know if it’s the title). He’s going to a stand and orders Spreewald cucumbers in German. Voice: “Spreewald cucumbers will hardly be possible to find in America, but for his pregnant wife they are better than burgers or fast food. When Gregg is not with the team, he is doing everything for the family. He and the 2 year old Sebastian want to make life as comfortable as possible for mum and the baby. His soccer life improved a lot in Cottbus since they are playing with a four men defence chain. Since then the central defender is a regular starter, no matter if you call it fries or shell tactics (Gregg is doing this formation with fries he bought for his son and they show shells with this formation at some beach). And how is the system called in English? Very easy: 4-4-2. The German language hardly is a problem anymore. The last word he had to look up was ‘Glühbirne’ (light bulb, he takes out a dictionary to look it up). He doesn’t need it on the pitch though. There he is only talking English with Moussa Latoundji. At standards the 6’0” tall blonde player is meanwhile also going to the offence. The 28 times US national player has arrived in Cottbus. With Energie he wants to stay in the league, and for Sebastian he wants a healthy sibling (leaves the market)]. SS: According to our ORB information you had a very great offer from Shanghai. Why did you stay? GB: It was a good offer, but the prom was they wanted me to go immediately. I gave my word to Energie and I think it wouldn’t be right to leave the team right now. We have a fight ahead of us, we have ten games left and it’s not good on me to leave the team. SS: But you would earn much more money. GB: You know, I don’t think that’s what it’s about it right now… SS: I guess it will be a very hard game next weekend. Without Löw, Gebhardt and Schröter – what do you expect? GB: Of course it’s gonna be a tough game. But some players need to come in. We had that before in Rostock and did well. We have the same situation now. SS: Something different now at the end – these are special days in the American-German relationship. What experiences did you make in the last days as American in Germany? GB: I felt very comfortable. The German people haven’t made me feel uncomfortable. They don’t see America as a whole. I also see anyone as individual people, not as part of politics of a country. SS: Are there questions of war and peace in the team? GB: Such questions occasionally come up, but usually it’s not discussed in the team. SS: Thanks for coming to the show. GB: Thanks for having me.

I'm 90% sure that's a David Bowie song, and I'm 98% sure it's in the movie "The Falcon and the Snowman" (which is a great movie, with one of Sean Penn's best performances. You should see it.) You know, I hadn't thought of that, but it's got to be tough for Joe Cannon, Berhalter, Gibbs, etc.
