you mean in 94 they got further than most people thoght?
i didn't find that impressive. They were on home turf to begin with, and they still only made it to the second round, finishing third in their group. Which i dont think is that impressive. And they didn't even make it to the group stages in 98.
When you put it into the context of developing country who simply don't have the money that was injected in US football in 94, i don't think it was impressive at all.
And in fact, the USA's first world cup was in 1930. Giving them quite a history. And they've been in consecutive world cups since, bar a few. They beat England for example in Brazil 1950.

2002 was great for them. It brought a lot of popularity to the sport here. I was in Finland at the time. It was funny to see the people root against the US. I was like wooo hooo!
But yeah, for the most part we sucked through the ages, but it's all fun or it's supposed to be.

hey rabattski, I root for DE second. I like their strategic and tactical manner of playing.

oh my god jaz you do not support the Deutchlanders because of the way they play football!
They haven't played decent football since 94 when Klinsman was scoring all the goals and rudi voller was there.

yeah i have to second kes, germany's national team has been quite off for quite some time now, but the new team is actually quite good, i think this team could go far to be honest.

DE are not the team they once were and the footy is too stale these days. The Faroes are where it's at lads...

(Jun 6 05, 07:17)Jurgen K. you mean? He's now teaching football in California. I don't know I sort of like that rough and tumble DE style. Call me crazy.

well if i'm not mistaken some american + 4 hired gunmen tried to invade costa rica somewhere in the 1800's or 1900's (don't know the details), they didn't get much further than the border. but hey they tried.
ps another thing what's cool about cr is that they don't have an army since '45 or something. never had a coup either.
