Ok they're not, youd take donavon over forlan any day of the week i suppose?...lets see what happens in these next two games, for all we know it could end up south korea v ghana for the quarters.
oh btw Doug, im a fulham fan so im well aware of what smaller teams can do to bigger sides, esp this year...then forlan came along and fucked everything up after my 15 hour trip to hamburg
I've noticed that soccer fans are obsessed with how many stars a team has. Which often times leads to shit, because team play is what wins championships.
Do you watch American footaball at all? In 2007, the New England Patriots set all kinds of all time records. They went 17-0 that year and established themselves as the best NFL team of all time. They literally destroyed every opponent they faced that year. They lost the superbowl the the New York Giants. My point: if a team is playing like a team, anything can happen in a one game elimination.
How much better are the top teams? It's not more than 10% due to talent. That 10% can be equalized via drive, team play and determination.
The USA has a good team which may elevate itself to great, given the circumstances.
