What always keeps the US from consistently beating quality teams is their finishing ability... Germany was so outstanding last world cup because they finished EVERYTHING, the US has never had that scary striker that, when given the opportunity, is a guarantee
@1MegaBalls Possibly, but it's not the Englishman's fault the yanks were busy stuffing their faces with hamburgers. Also, the word you intended to use was 'won'.
@okpapereat thats non sense lol, youre saying the better the team, the luckier they get? it was a hand ball because it was a good shot that only could be stopped by a handball foul. depth? we beat portugal and mexico and germany had to cheat from goin into extra time
As an American, I agonize over this match. But the match is over; so we must move forward. I hope the game grows domestically until we become perpetual competitors on a global scale. We can learn from Germany. Their tactics, player development, and consistency are sublime. With their mix of youth and experience, I expect them to win Euro 2012. I eagerly await my visit to Germany this summer. I am intrigued to watch the matches with great beer in a vibrant atmosphere. Go USA! Go Germany! Cheers!
This German team was awful. They only got to the final because they were playing sorry teams. I'm just surprised that everyone always talks about the handball of the German defender, but nobody ever talks about that handball in the USA vs Mexico game. That guy really punched it out of the box when the Mexican player was about to score.
@charlie65178 Well no shit if you go to Mexico vs USA the mexicans bring that up...point is USA should of tied this game and gone to extra time but ehh oh well nothing we can do now but bitch about the handball
I bet if we had scored that goal in the 50th min, we might have won the game in overtime and advance to the semifinals against korea and possibly beat them since we tied to them in the group stages and advance to the finals
Yeah that ball was in and it was a hand ball. Reminds me off when the ref said Hope Solo came off her line when she apparently didn't in the Brazil vs. US game for women. I can't wait till the 2014 world cup!
@Cationification Perhaps it's a rebellious behavior towards the English who criticize their (former) colonies and commonwealth for referring association football as "soccer". USA, Canada, Australia/New Zealand and Ireland have their own sports they call "football".
In the USA and Canada's case, I don't see the point of calling the Gridiron "football" since it's more or less derived from rugby rather than the original form of football. Maybe the word sounds more attractive.
@okpapereat germany is usually better...but on this night they werent. just like germany is usually better than england, but i recall michael owen getting a hat trick against them.
@okpapereat Dude, they won 1-0. It's not like they were creamed by 10 goals against nil. And even the Germans were surprised at the way the US played.
@okpapereat well yeah Germany is better...but in this game USA played up to the level of Germany...and Canada vs some african team would be like 38 to zero...Germany vs USA 1-0?
@JBlz124 There ok but still cant compare to the bigger teams such as argentina, brazil, england, germany, russia, ect i mean you look at all the super stars such as messi, kaka, klose, arshavin, rooney, lampard, ronaldo ect those countries are basically like a all star team.
@okpapereat in 2010-2011 theyve tied with aregentina and england, brazil beat them by one, and russia isnt even that big of a team... you are right there isnt really and super stars because most of them stay in mls but some go to small teams in europe
@okpapereat lol yes germany is a lot better than usa, but really? an african hockey team, ill say usa is like czech republic or like switzerland, not a cake walk but by no means expected to beat canada
@okpapereat WOW really? they may be better now but in thi sgame USa were clearly the better side now stop bashing the US because they would hav won if not for your little baby cheater Frings' handball thers no way the germans would have made it to the final the US would be there instead so shut up
@TBIRD722000 Well they US did not make it to the finals, sports is a result oriented business, you loose or don't get to the final there is something wrong. When you a team who gets chance after chance and the goalie from the other side keeps stopping them it shows that the offense is not good enough or don't have a deep solid team, Let me use a example from another sport, lets say hockey since its much simpler to explain. If your team top line is not producing you look to the
@TBIRD722000 2nd line or 3rd and 4th line but loose by 1 goal most of the time you do not have a deep team. In this game against the states the players did not produce that is the bottom line. And that hand ball you need a bit of luck on your side. Good teams get the lucky bounces.
@okpapereat seriously?? the good teams get the lucky bounces this German team was mediocre at best the only reason they got to the final was because of Kahn and we did score but your little cheater handballed it
this is why soccer needs instant replay but that aside the US was clearly the better team Germany was lucky to have Kahn
@TBIRD722000 Totally agree with you on the instant replay yea it was a handball but i believe germany would of still came out on top. Why soccer don't have instant replay is beyond me.
Germany did not deserve this victory, Germany has gone through because they are a big country in football, the U.S. could win but luck was not on their side, it's football, poorer nations always lose, but this time the U.S. was better
Yes he has touched the ball but it was a natural move of his hand and his arm was on his body so he got no chance to dont touch it ! Thats the soccer rules ! But it was the best Tournament and game ive ever seen by the US team so far ! ;)
@TBIRD722000 But the decision can not be undone. :/ Same by the worldcupfinal 1966 in England, the famous "Wenbly goal".Perhaps it would also come to another winner! Thats soccer unfortunatly ! :/
@dirtybunny987 well yeah it hit his hand, as he pulled it back to his side to where the ball was heading. It really should've been a hand ball intentional or not
I think Donovan has psychic powers cause he always knows where to be and when to be at the perfect time!
Also It blows my mind how well USA played this day and how BAD Germany played this game. I mean anyone that knows football knows that Germany is one of the best teams in football but i dont know what happened with , Germany played really bad this game.
How can they play so well against Germany and then loose to Mexico last year?
@CashSmeller Handball is handball? What nonsense. Go look up law 12. Handball can only be penalised when it is 100% deliberate. A ref has to look at position of hands and ball unexpectiality. In this case the ball changed direction very close and the hand was by the side thus no violation occured. Its harsh but you have to referee to the rules rather than what you think is correct.
@SorrybutJebiga that's not what this is about, is it? it's about how usa was cheated out, and you bring something that's completely irrelevant up to make it seem better that germany won
Yes yes, always lucky. 3 Euro titles with the men, and 7 Euro titles with the women. Only luck. 2 World Cups with the women and 3 WC wins with the men, only luck. The men were in 12 Semifinals and 7 Finals in the WC and qualified for every tournament the were eligible. Only luck.
.
So wheter 15 titles at major tournaments plus lots of medals for 2nd or 3rd place are just luck, or a sign for consistency of quality. Take your fanboy glasses off and face the truth, buddy.
In fact it wasn't handball, even though the ball touched his hand (as paradox as it sounds). If the shot is from close distance it's only handball if the hand moves towards the ball (which wasn't the case) or if the hand is in an "unnatural position" - means above the shoulders or sprawled out away from the body (which also wasn't the case). So the ref called it right, the commentators need to learn the rules... -.-
@Hitmonchan107 germany won 4:1 and what about america?and then germany won 4:0 against argentinia only spain was a little bit better then germany ... but by the way which place was occupied by usa???i dont know ;D
@FunHeroOffical Germany won because the Brits were bummed out due to Lampard's goal being denied. And the Argies lost because let's face it they only had Messi, Aguero and Tevez while the rest of the team was shit.
@FunHeroOffical Okay... I get the German revenge for losing at England '66 but the next one is plain stupid. Dempsey's shot was no luck, just the keeper's mistake for not catching or deflecting the ball well. The ball itself is not to blame though, just the makers and testers. It was too light for powerful kicks which turned opportunities into failure for most strikers. BBC made a joke that only the Germans knew how to maneuver it.
@FunHeroOffical Ugh, don't be a dumbass. The Jabulani received complaints from goalkeepers because the shooters had more chances to score than the keepers to stop them. Green already knew how dodgy the ball was and yet he made the mistake of not deflecting the ball well. No luck, so stop lambasting me with this crap.
@Hitmonchan107 i never said that....but if a parachutist cant open his parachute and then he falls into bush and is still alive(true story :))is no luck?
@Hitmonchan107 okay...my grammar in english is awful...but i'm 14!!!!! but i think you re older so we can write in my language okay?okay....aber dieser fallschirmspringer hat es überlebt weil er in einen brombeerbusch gefallen ist ...ohne irgendwelche verletzungen...und ich denke das glück fängt damit an das man überhaupt geboren wird...obwohl man das von dir ja nicht grad sagen kann...
@Hitmonchan107 hahahahaha google translation ... i take this translation look:that was luck that would be the bush there stood because otherwise he indeed died:DDDDDDDDDDD...you are such an idiot ...do you know what you had written?
@Hitmonchan107 why did i know that you will call me nazi? first i am no nazi....twice,you are so typical american(think you are the best,invent everything...) and your forfathers killed a million of aboriginals because they want their own country...so lets see:luck exist.you a really really poor boy that you have to call me nazi.and the german soccer team got 3 titles...(what got america...oh ,nothing :DDD)
@FunHeroOffical My parents are from Spain. I was born in the United States. And Spain defeated Germany. Germany's best play for Spain's clubs like Ozil for Real Madrid. We are better than you.
@Hitmonchan107 spain is better than germany in the moment ...but i thought we talked about usa...spain got many god footballers and before germany plays against spain,germany really was better than spain because germany is good to play in the team...they havent got the best talents but they are good as a team...and spain is only good in the momment...but i think they will not win the euro cup and the world cup too.
@Hitmonchan107 2...1989:wall falls 1990:germany won the world cup with klinsmann and völler.and germany was from 1954-2008 better then spain...but i think spain will be not so good in the next time...germany will win the euro and the world cup ;)
the politics where reunited in 1990,but the country and the people in 1989...sorry i didnt think about that the football teams where reunited at the same date ...my mistake :D ..but germany is better than spain anyway...
@FunHeroOffical No, West Germany WAS, I repeat, WAS better than Spain. Germany beat England and Argentina by 4 goals each, but Spain beat you with only one goal and you people didn't score. LOL.
@Hitmonchan107 but spain beaten all the teams before germany with only one goal too and the enemys arent the best...and england and argentinia was with spain and germany the favourites in this world cup...
These were the dark ages of Germany. But even in their dark days,the still managed to qualify and even reach the finals of the World Cup,unlike overrated England,who always claim to be world class but fail to qualify sometime (World Cup '94 & Euro 2008). Kahn,Ballack,Frings & Klose were the only bright spots of this team
German fan but yeah remember US kind of dominated that game apart from the goal & Kloses header against the post shortly after. US & Ireland were the only tough opposition Germany had up to the final, it all kind of opened up for them.
oh man, what a fantastic game. I wish the us had built on this performance, almost a decade gone and we have only shown this kind of fight in a few breif flashes. Of course the US was the better team on the day, but were quite unluckly here...I don't care what anyone says about ronaldo in the final, Kahn was the true WC MVP. In this game in particular, Kahn carried Germany to the final.
and Enteificationify is right, since the hand was unintentional it should have been a PK but not a red card
@killamob43 jaja you hurt that said that it fucking your asshole mother and your jaja ,you do not have anything on the contrary your family still sicking my german sausage :) jaja german of shit in your country there is much stupid that is be neonazi already wanted to be German jajaja if you answer quere again to me to say that you are a son of bitch
@syzygy502 thats the most, not the least. and he didn't move his hand to touch the ball, the ball moved to his hand, not a red card. learn a little bit about soccer before you comment on a super biased video
@GivenchyParisFr so what? we have one of the best teams in the world, way better than the usa, they played good in this one match.
my great grandfather was a soldier in WWII, but like 95% of the soldiers, he was forced to fight. he tried to escape, but the nazis found him and he was killed in the concentration camp in auschwitz. his son, my grandfather was chased by them as well, but luckily he could escape. now stop being immature and get over the past. this is football, not a history lesson
@10YNWA10 Well as I said before: It is by no meaning or rule a "handball" - Only because referees normally are giving penalties for that doesn`t mean that it is lawful.
@SuperJuliusC shut up you don't know anything, people get booked all the time for unintentionally getting a hand ball, it was on the goal line no if and or buts, penalty kick and red card for the player. and don't start this crap that he didn't move his hand, you really don't know anything about soccer
@XLRAshon First of all: You seem to don`t know anything about "soccer" because otherwise you would know the rules of this game - Only because "all the time" players are getting red cards or teams getting penalties for those kind of incidents it doesn`t mean that it is "lawful".
And by the way: Nobody in the world with the exception of the US soccer fans or media said that this was a reason for a penalty.
Interesting to see this again. Technically the referee got it 100% right- the player doesn't move his hand to the ball which deflects to him from the keeper therefore it isn't deliberate and thus no handball has taken place. Fifa from memory confirmed this as the right decision a day or so after the game.
10 years later and we are still bitching about that handball... and you know what, i <3 it
morange492 14 hours ago
It was definitely handball
if a player obstructs a certain goal, with hand, the handballing player should get red card, and American team should get penalty kick

So the ref called it right, the commentators need to learn the rules... -.-

@FunHeroOffical Germany won because the Brits were bummed out due to Lampard's goal being denied. And the Argies lost because let's face it they only had Messi, Aguero and Tevez while the rest of the team was shit.

FunHeroOffical 2 months ago
@FunHeroOffical Okay... I get the German revenge for losing at England '66 but the next one is plain stupid. Dempsey's shot was no luck, just the keeper's mistake for not catching or deflecting the ball well. The ball itself is not to blame though, just the makers and testers. It was too light for powerful kicks which turned opportunities into failure for most strikers. BBC made a joke that only the Germans knew how to maneuver it.

There's no luck because luck does not exist.
Hitmonchan107 2 months ago
@Hitmonchan107 i think you posted that it was the mistake of the keeper...but i think if a ball like this goes into the goal,its luck
FunHeroOffical 2 months ago
@FunHeroOffical Ugh, don't be a dumbass. The Jabulani received complaints from goalkeepers because the shooters had more chances to score than the keepers to stop them. Green already knew how dodgy the ball was and yet he made the mistake of not deflecting the ball well. No luck, so stop lambasting me with this crap.
Hitmonchan107 2 months ago

These were the dark ages of Germany.

Kahn,Ballack,Frings & Klose were the only bright spots of this team

This reminds me of playing Football Manager.
You dominate possession and chances, however they
get like two chances and score.
Imagine if the penalty had been given, Donovan or Reyna
would score and USA would win the match.
Seriously, I can't watch this without feeling so fucking
sad for the americans. To hell with older Germany
and their defensive, lucky football.

oh man, what a fantastic game. I wish the us had built on this performance, almost a decade gone and we have only shown this kind of fight in a few breif flashes. Of course the US was the better team on the day, but were quite unluckly here...I don't care what anyone says about ronaldo in the final, Kahn was the true WC MVP. In this game in particular, Kahn carried Germany to the final.
and Enteificationify is right, since the hand was unintentional it should have been a PK but not a red card

my great grandfather was a soldier in WWII, but like 95% of the soldiers, he was forced to fight. he tried to escape, but the nazis found him and he was killed in the concentration camp in auschwitz. his son, my grandfather was chased by them as well, but luckily he could escape. now stop being immature and get over the past. this is football, not a history lesson

@XLRAshon First of all: You seem to don`t know anything about "soccer" because otherwise you would know the rules of this game - Only because "all the time" players are getting red cards or teams getting penalties for those kind of incidents it doesn`t mean that it is "lawful".
And by the way: Nobody in the world with the exception of the US soccer fans or media said that this was a reason for a penalty.
SuperJuliusC 5 months ago
Interesting to see this again. Technically the referee got it 100% right- the player doesn't move his hand to the ball which deflects to him from the keeper therefore it isn't deliberate and thus no handball has taken place. Fifa from memory confirmed this as the right decision a day or so after the game.
