Here's where we talk, rant, rave, bullshit, cry, laugh, cheer, etc. Steveums don't read this thread.
As Eebs pointed out, first goal is in. Lahm from Germany scores in the sixth minute. Go fig. I have them down beating them 4-0 so I'm off to a good start...

ballack is injured, he's got a calf injury. player says he's fit but klinsmann says he wants to save him for the later games to be on the safe side.
great finish from klose - it's a goal fest! usually the first game is a snoozefest....

like they need ballack to finish off these junior varisty opponents they have in their bracket....no, I'm not pissed about the US bracket....not at all....

wow! lehmann is kick ass!
costa rica has two goals on only two shots. i think that works out to a 0% save percentage.

Anyone playing this fantasy game on Yahoo!?

This group is based on no actual knowledge, just some haphazard surfing and interesting sounding names, just like when I vote.

Good lord, 80+ minutes for a a shot on goal? And then some attacking. Good luck against the huns next week.
