CONGRATULATIONS USA for reaching the World Cup last sixteen round, in the last minute...!
The german soccer players struggled, but fortunately with success.
300.000 people joined public viewing in Berlin. The World Cup is the top event in 2010 over here. When germany reaches finale (USA too) I will join the motorcade with my Z.

Thank you, Thor! We have NO IDEA why we did that well! I think it was some good skill and a LOT of luck!

I remember when Pele brought soccer to America in the 1970s and 80s. Nobody here understood the game, but they loved watching this man make magic with the soccer ball. He could score from almost anyplace on the field, and was a tireless player, even at advanced age.

He was the reason America became interested in soccer.

Does anyone remember the great American game called Squamish?

Now THERE's a real sport!

I must confess that I love "Fussball" (soccer).
And this is the best team ever:

Goal: Kahn
Defense: Beckenbauer, Breitner, Baresi, Junior
Midfield: Maradona, Matthäus, Cruyff, Zidane
Forward: Gerd Müller, Pele, Puskas
