Most people travelling by car either have hotel rooms or camp out. Unfortunately for German camp ground owners now that the Dutch are out business will slow down greatly.

Just absolutely decided to stop passing and settled for long shots. Extremely disappointing. Oh and by the way, Kuyt was awful. Could the Dutch play any less composed in the second half?

Great stat line I saw: The US had 4 shots on goal for the tournament. That is awful. To say this US Team might have been our most talented of all time may be true but obviously have a long way to go to really be competitive. I thing the most surprising thing is this - probably the most American part of a soccer game would be goal scoring and yet one of the US's most glaring weaknesses is talent on the ball and around the goal. The complete lack of willingness and ability to run off the ball, attack and play off each other was apparent in all 3 games. Sounds like a good time, who drives home from these games?
