I just saw the FSC coverage of the US making friends in Hamburg, attending a city ceremony in their honor and giving a shirt to the mayor. Good for them. (They did better than Australia, who apparently dissed a similar event at Oehringen.) These players and coaches are ambassadors of our country and it's good to see them being gracious guests.
It'll be interesting to see how the German neutrals in the crowd (who will be the majority in every match) will support the Americans. In Korea, another country with a large US military presence, they were loathed. On one hand, the US are underdogs and Germans know many of the US players, on the other hand... well... George W. Bush. So we'll see.
