    Something along the lines of, "you give Jurgen shit because he says it's not realistic to win, but you are giving up because you can't play ONE striker." Then Lalas backpedaled and deflected like a bitch.
    Can't wait to find video of it

    Ballack also said the US has no quality and Lalas was attacking him because he was sounding like we can't beat Germany or any good team. Ballak has been talking shit about the US this entire tournament.

    I doubt that ballack said the US has no quality.

    Oh, so they have been beefing? I just noticed the part when Ballack was going at Lalas. I recall Ballack saying something along the lines that we lack quality. I just get pissed off whenever I hear Lalas being his normal asshole self.

    Also, I don't think we can beat Germany. lol

    He definitely did I was watching the entire world cup encore show.

    I thought Ballack said they lacked quality up front.

    Ballack has really kinda been an asshole this entire world cup towards the US and of course they always have Lalas on the show so they go at it.

    No quality? Zero quality? Absolutely no solid soccer players?

    Come on. I'm sure he said to the likes of "compared to Portugal the us lacks quality" or "without jozy their forwards lack much quality"

    I'm just repeating what he said. What he meant I don't know.

    Ballack earlier said the US had the 2nd best CMF/CDMF in Italy (Bradley) behind De Rossi. So no way does he think we have no quality.

    Then he must have misspoke about it. Probably trying to make a point in English and couldn't get the words out properly.

    Nope I even went back and relistened to it after I saw Automatics post.

    Do you have a link to him saying we have no quality?
  • Automatik
    Also, just for fun...

    Am I the only one here that has zero issues w/ Jurgen's previous comments? People are still discussing and bitching about it. He's being real, zomg!!

    Re: Ballack. I didn't see it, but I'd believe it. Do you guys remember last world cup when Lalas was getting on Rossi for not choosing usa and Ballack said "Well, maybe he wants to win something in his lifetime". It's clear he doesn't rate USA all that high...

    I've been looking they don't have it on replay on espn3. So I guess no.

    I don't care either but for the general American public who doesn't follow soccer or maybe just watches every 4 years I can see why. They don't expect anyone ever to say you can't win something.

    What has the us done for us to be upset about that comment? Lol
  • Automatik
    Again, I have no issue with that either.

    And good for Rossi, Jersey fuck got left off anyway. :laugh:

    I'm not upset at all lol. I'm just saying it shows that Ballack doesn't really rate us. He's not wrong, but I don't think he's wrong saying we aren't the same quality as some of the better countries in the world, either.

    The history between Ballack and Lalas is probably why he tries to get under Alexi's skin to start shit. There is definitely some tension there.

    Did Rossi even make the World Cup team in 2010?

    Nope. They said his time was 2014. Then he got injured. Sucka.

    I don't know much about him to even know if he would have made the US team. I know he couldn't break in at United. That's about it.
  • Automatik
    He's done now. I didn't realize he was 27, I thought younger.

    I remember that screamer he scored against the US in the Confed Cup. I was mad.
