Brian: yes, you are right. But he hasn’t picked a new club yet and because he played in the Bundesliga last season I thought I should mention him anyway.

BTW if anyone is interested: He gave an interview for Borussia’s online video service – sends some farewells and talks about the future:

Steven: let’s put it this way: just because I couldn’t catch it live doesn’t mean I won’t see it at all.:-)

Fernando: the Feilhaber goal reminded me more of Hitzlsperger’s title deciding goal against Cottbus. I would rate the Maxi goal to be above those efforts. So if Feilhaber scored a Wundertor then Maxi scored an Übertor to stay within my loan word promotion mode. Anyway, I was surprised to read that Mexico has such a bad track record against the US.

Juliet: Feilhaber profited from all the injuries in the squad last season. His debut in the team received a lot of praise from the press. He spend time on the bench again when the regulars came back but still showed good performances as a substitute. And: he’s still very young. But I guess, we’ll just have to wait and see what happens next season.

Great wundertor from Mr. Hamburg. Along with Howard and the junior Bradley, he’s quickly making himself indispensable to the US team. I wonder if this will lead to more appearances on the pitch for Hamburg’s first team?

From Yanks Abroad: “Playing an alleged home game at Soldier Field, the Americans were welcomed to a sold out crowd of over 60,000 that was expected to be 90% Mexican by Sunil Gulati’s own admission.”

I guess that explains the empty stands. Perhaps we can require support for USMNT as part of the proposed American immigration bill? Might sell some more shirts, Sunil!

Shame mexico lost. I blame in part Hugo Sanchez (Who was the best mexican player in the history, but as manager he is not good enough). Osorio and Marquez (Barcelona) played so-so, they didnt play as they play with their respective clubs. I think that the first goal shouldn be valid as i think it was no penalty there , and the second goal just reminded me about the Argentinian goal of Maxi in the world cup against us (mexico).

That was a great game. It’s too bad you weren’t able to catch it.

I believe Keller was released and is unsigned at the moment.

The game was sold out so I guess they were all Mexican fans. Too funny.

Wundertor is a pretty awesome word, I have to say. We really do need to start using it more.
