I can honestly say with hand on heart....."HA HA HA HAHAHAHAH HA HA THAT IS FUCKING HIDEOUS HA HA HAHAHAHAHAH? That should put fear in the championship when they trot out onto the field in that cheeky little number.....I just hope they don't slip on themselves in the process..

Who are the new sponsors? Fyfees?

[godsshoeshine]

you cant doubt taylors loyalty after he agreed to model that

new sponsor next year, hopefully negotiated by new ownership

[godsshoeshine]

ouch.  that was painful.  did the Team US really think it could kill time and defend against the brazilians for a full half? 

[godsshoeshine]

of course not. they couldnt hold possession though

[vansmack]

I disagree completely.  If you would have told me that the US would be tied with Brazil in a final with less than 10 minutes to go, I'd have told you were crazy.  Add to that the fact that the game wasn't scoreless and I'm even more in shock.

No matter what happened yesterday, that was a win for US Soccer.  No pain involved whatsoever.  That's probably the last FIFA Final I'll ever see the US team partcipate in my lifetime, and I couldn't be more proud of their performance.

[godsshoeshine]

two goals from open play against brazil is pretty amazing for the u.s.
