I agree completely.

Going forward, though, we need to homegrow some strikers so that someone like Dempsey can stay in the midfield. Then we might have an attack worthy of the World Cup.

FIFA really can't say anything right now. When the Cup is over, let's see if they make moves. If they don't, then I'll join you in disappointment.

Wow, Brazil heading home. Last 15 minutes of that match were freaking tense.

Re: The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Thread

The Dutch were brilliant at times yesterday and lackadaisical during others. If they let up against either Germany or Spain, they will get pummeled. Van Bronckhorst's goal in the 18th minute was simply brilliant. If you can catch video of it, go check it out.

Germany/Spain this afternoon should be a slobberknocker.

Slobberknocker is correct. I'm looking forward to Germany/Spain, rooting both for Spain and for a good game.

You are right about the Dutch. Perhaps in the final they will smell blood in the water and not let up like against Uruguay.

Van Bronckhorst's shot was one of the most amazing and beautiful goals that I have ever seen. It is plays like that which make me a fan of soccer.
