    Too bad they won't be playing USA in the quarterfinals, semifinals, or Finals ;)

    After watching the US have their way with the Aussies, I was expecting a Germany beating, but this was more extensive than I would have anticipated. Germany look like a strong competitor, even if this was against weak competition.

    I was expecting to lose, but something like 1-0, 2-0, or 2-1; that I could have handled.

    But to lose 4-0, and to have your best player red carded (thus missing the next match), and playing generally like a bunch of petulant schoolboys; is completely unacceptable.

    Should have more Croatians on the team. (there's hundreds of thousands of them there)

    I doubt it, CK. Serbia will be desperate for points against the Germans and I still expect them to go through to the next round. I'm hoping that the Aussies pick up their game and draw with Ghana, but Serbia have already put themselves in a bad position.

    I'm just impatiently waiting for a long range blast from Kolarov. That guy has the hardest shot in the game since Roberto Carlos.

    lol yeah it won't be that bad of a score, but still Germans will win at least by 2 goal difference. (unless they want Serbia to go with them on the group and give a tie to them)

    Watch Kolarov and you'll have flashbacks. The incredible thing is that Kola's free kicks from way out still bend and usually never lose velocity. I have never seen anything like what he can do.

    Lukas Podolski fires a ferocious volley that flies just wide of the post. Would of been no stopping that.

    I have no idea how people on the West Coast would watch these games. I feel bad for them.
