Yes sir, the US made it and are in the same group as England. I feel very optimistic about the tournament for the stars and stripes!!

I dont. If they finish 2nd in the group they will be guaranteed to go on to play Germany.

Don't let the big name get to you, Germany's midfield is weak right now. Ballack is out and without him the only big threat in the midfield for Germany is Bastian Schweinsteiger.

So if the US can play like they did last year at the confeds cup by playing great D and counterattacking like mofo's it is possible that they can beat the Germans.

lol Kroos and Özil are insanely talented.

Podolski could even be thrown into midfield

Maybe, I'm just saying it's gonna be a little tough without their captain. And that they are beatable.

Oh of course they are lol. Any team is beatable in the tournament. But you never know maybe the absence of Ballack will give another young player to shine and come out of nowhere like Ribery in 2006.

Im trying to look at it in a positive way as much as it sucks to be missing Ballack.

Haha i got you

As a German fan and an American, don't you think Jermaine Jones would have been sick to see in the red white and blue!?
