Czech Republic 3 — USA 0
The cheese isn't going to say he is surprised. He has said more than once that the US squad has been given more credit than it deserved, but a 3-0 loss is pretty lopsided. The cheese wasn't holding out for a win, but a 1-1 tie wasn't out of the realm of possibility, that is until the game actually started. The Czech's were obviously superior in skill. The hallmark of the US march to the quarterfinals of the 02 cup was organization, but the US squad looked almost confused on the pitch today. Add to that the fact that the Czechs boast one of the strongest midfields in the tournament and the US had no hope.
Sadly, Italy has also gone on to beat Ghana. A tie, or Italian loss would probably have been preferential for the US in that match. Now it seems only a victory over both Ghana and the Italians will see the US through to the knockout stages.

I kinda expected that. I can I vote for the hooligans?
Yeah, but if you would have read that article...the one where the US wins...you would have seen that this required both the Czechs and Italians to, basically, turn into the keystone cops, the US to suddenly mutate, all the planets to align, and Christ to return on the day of the final to play an attacking midfield role for the US squad.
It could still happen...
the cheese better call his booky then...
