Uh ... Don't Do That

As we were just saying the other day, German soccer is on a real good run right now, and their national team is probably one of the 3-4 teams that might – might – be able to give a good run at the Brazilians next summer. And while I'm not qualified to be any sort of a soccer coach, my first bit of advice on how to beat them (or, really, anybody for that matter), would be to suggest that you DON'T DO THIS:

What the hell was that?

Apparently it's now being listed as taking 9 seconds for the Germans to score vs. Ecuador tonight during a friendly in Florida. Ecuador deservedly got beat after that bit of silliness, losing 4:2.

The Germans have a game this weekend vs. the U.S., who lost 4:2 in a friendly tonight to Belgium, a team that looks potentially terrifying here in the future since most of their players are EPL calibre and are also in their early 20s. The U.S. will likely get a beatdown from the Germans this weekend, but it's a good warmup for the CONCACAF Hexagonal. There ain't anyone in this neighbourhood that's even comes close to being as good as the Germans, that's for sure.
