The main impression of the USA/Germany match that I came away with was that Germany was much more solid, they read the field better, placed themselves better, were more unflappable. That said, I enjoyed it.

Now, the next game for the US is with Belgium. I watched South Korea/Belgium today. I rooted for the Koreans- they're cute. :) And man, some of those men from Belgium are HUGE. But there, again, it seemed to me that Belgium was more savvy, less tentative. And some of the footwork on both sides was marvelous. I am in awe.
