The penalty is a very bad call from the referee.. =(
Bye bye USA. Better luck in 2010.
Too many Americans on the team.
Eliminated, but never humiliated!
“Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans win.”

this wise man is still right … :-))

I think the FIFA should organize the pools according to rankings. It’s unfair that we’re #5 in the world and we worked so hard to win our division, yet we get stuck with 3 very strong teams. On the other hand, some countries like the Ukraine, Saudi Arablia, Ecuador, and Tunesia get the gift of a weak divison (or at least a weaker one). Strong countries like us can’t advance because of bad, undeserved pool placings.
David, the FIFA rankings are a joke. Fortunately, even FIFA recognized that when they seeded the teams (despite the fact that FIFA would _love_ to pave the way for the US, it’s a huge market they want a bigger piece of). The US is ranked so high because it almost exclusively plays very weak opposition. The FIFA rating system does not account for that. The chess equivalent would be if you got as many points by beating a 2200-player as you would a 2800-player.
USA #5 in the world!! What a joke. Not every number has meaning you know.
As an Aussie I feel not one jot of sympathy towards the USA’s elimination. Your CONCACAF qualifying region is the weakest in the world; only Mexico is a decent team in it. If the USA had faced Uruguay to qualify, as Australia did, the US would have failed to get in.
