So SAD! We really played like crap. There was absolutly no offense. Czech really didnt look too bad, but I think they were made to look better than they should have with the USA Team's crappy play.

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany (AP) -- The United States looked like a bewildered World Cup newcomer again.


The Americans didn't just lose Monday, they were routed, roughed up and run over by the Czech Republic, a 3-0 crusher that put the Americans in danger of first-round elimination.

"I think the players as well as coaches are a bit shocked right now," defender Eddie Lewis said.


"We didn't play well. We didn't compete. We didn't make the plays," said goalkeeper Kasey Keller said, one of many U.S. players criticized by coach Bruce Arena. "It was just a shame. We definitely gave the game away, and that's what we're frustrated about."

Jan Koller, the Czech Republic's 6-foot-8 forward, scored five minutes in, and Tomas Rosicky added goals in the 36th and 76th minutes. The United States managed one shot on goal and showed little of the spark that earned it an opening 3-2 upset over Portugal four years ago, when it advanced to the quarterfinals in its best performance since 1930.

Landon Donovan and Brian McBride, the two U.S. forwards, didn't have any shots, and DaMarcus Beasley managed just one.

We are really going to need some of the big players on the team to step up and make some plays. One more game like that and we are out, yet again. So let's Give some more effort please guys!

That's what they said in a war. I don't really know which one there were so many but .. yeah it was one of em.

Czech Republic is a very strong team...
Probably the US will manage to get at least 4 points in the remaining matches and go through

I almost cried watching this match
Hope we'll show some better performance next time
