OP
The biggest critics Vinman and myself are American so we are allowed! Look, this just confirms that the FIFA rankings are a damn joke...its one thing winning in Concacaf and its another beating a European or South American team...you can beat Barbados and Canada all you like (as Vin stated) but it doesn't mean you will even come close to European teams...
To be honest I am disappointed because I declined the Ghana match and bought a USA-ITALY ticket which cost me the hand of Christ to get...I really thought it would be a great match up and USA was going to be the dark horse in the group..now I have to find a way to get a Czech Italy ticket....
Mark my words: Toni-Gila-Totti will rip them apart

No, you're not allowed. Why? Because this is all you two ever do...you never show any sign of support for our national team, and you both have probably been waiting for this since four whole years now. All you ever manage to do is piss and moan about FIFA rankings, state how supposedly Canada has superior talents to that of our country, and always make it known you have trouble naming players from the MLS. I have never seen one post, not even ONE post, of yours that has any sort of compliments regarding the United States National team. You might be American, you might take part in American political discussions and support our troops, but you seem the least bit American when you discuss our soccer. You two talk as if you want us to lose.
This is why I don't want to hear it.
Forget the FIFA Rankings...anybody who even brings up these rankings is a DAMN JOKE.
You talk as if this has not been discussed before. Every half fucking fan knows these rankings are a damn joke, even I said my team doesn't deserve to be in the top ten, so why do you perpetually bring them up like this is something new? You want to complain about them and discuss said topic like its hot off the press, write FIFA a damn letter.

Shut up. I have never hyped my team to absurd limits and always gave you a pretty fair assessment of our chances in this competition. Where have I ever stated we are better than the Czechs or Italy? Where have I ever stated we deserve as much praise as we get from various organizations, including the media? Where have I said anything besides, on our day, we can beat almost any side this world has to offer? I have never hyped my team to such lengths as some people who aren't even Italian hype Italy, and I'm not even talking about comparing final results in a World Cup...if I would hype them up I would have said we would surely pass through this group, which, of course, I did not.
I find it rather amusing you're lecturing me about this nonsense. How can you fault me for believing in my side? At least I'm supporting my country instead of pissing on our soccer...with people like you no wonder why people say the United States will never win the World Cup. You should be proud of yourself, Nick.
News Flash, Nicholas. Unless you did not know, Italy played Ghana today, while the US played the Czech Republic. Now if you go back to your troubled time of elementry school, by using addition you can see that four teams played today in total in this group. If matches consist of two teams per match, that would mean we did not play against Italy today. Therefore, you're wrong. Perhaps we should wait and see when we actually PLAY on Saturday to conclude who offers more instead of basing your conclusion on different opposition.
You're a fucking expert, Nick.

As for the match, there is nothing to say about it besides sheer disapointment. Congrats to the Czechs as their three goals were absolute class and Rosicky could perhaps turn out to be the player of the tournament. He's a world class player who never obtains the respect he deserves. I have trouble seeing us gathering any points from this group now because without confidence we won't do anything.
Totti couldn't rip anything apart, even if it was easy-opening. Am I the only one who realises that yesterday he did absolutely nothing? Oh and Toni, where exactly does he need the ball to be before he finds the goal? Inside the goal posts? 5 different attackers played in that game, and 50% of the goals (1) was score by a midfielder by a long shot. The remaining 50% was not because of our excellent team work, but simply because their defender is a retard. Imagine if Iaquinta HADN'T scored that goal.
Anyway, I'm not saying we won't beat USA, because I honestly think we will, but "ripping apart" is a tad exaggerated after yesterday's performance (at least in terms of offence), and if something isn't done about that, it could cost us further on in the tournament (assuming we do pass to the next round).
