Andy who would you prefer out of Germany and Serbia mate?
I still want revenge from 2002 in which we played a good match against Germany. But Serbia would definitely be the better choice for us, obviously. We can beat them.

You still have three goals to go. And a sending off instead of a penalty. And some head injuries too.
Yeah, but we still went through. That's all that matters. We gave our all and showed that we could overcome adversary, including bad calls and horrendous finishing.

You can complain about my celebrating all you want, but this win meant a lot to me.

In all honesty, I've never seen a team getting mistreated by refs in the world cup like the Italians in 2002.

They were targeted by refs in all 4 matches and they had a wonderful team at the time, just to show how refs influenced their WC campaign.

So far, what happened to USA in this WC is absolutely nothing compared to Italy's 2002 WC.

So Seven, do you still say Belgium is better than the US at football. There was some other person who said that Bosnia was better than the US or on par with them or something, i'm not sure, but wasn't that you Alen? :p

Don't ruin their party :D

They are still bitter at Italy winning the World Cup in 2006 ;)

Definitely not me. Check the thread.

I said that if USA and Bosnia play right now (and in this case "right now" is almost a year ago) I'd put my money on USA, but only because Bosnian football was crippled by the war. Bosnians were telling Andy that Bosnia is better and I disagreed with them.
What I did say though was that Bosnia has more talented players and if not for the war, or if in some 5-10 years they develop in peace, they will have an excellent team, on par with the best ex-Yu teams.

Who are all these paranoid folk who think I was referring to Italy in my earlier post?

The whole world doesn't revolve around the Azzurri.

My post was aimed at England still moaning about the 'Hand of God' goal.

Still, I think all the folk jumping to conclusions says quite a lot.

Atleast that was in a Semi-Final. You know how much we wanted another shot at the World Cup :(
