We got robbed. It still upsets me to watch this.
best german team i ve ever watched
Donovan era muito bom!
Excelente jogador 👏
Sanneh missed the equalizer. That had goal written all over it.
What if USA faced South Korea…? And What if Turkey faced Germany…?
There should have been a PENALTY for USA!
This game should’ve went to overtime/penalties
they robbed the US, but in football karma has its own say…
2002 WC team is is the best US national team. This was such a tough loss
I think not calling that hand ball was karma because in the past game against Mexico, U.S.A committed a hand ball and it wasnt called too
Hard to say that the U.S would've won the game had the handball been called. But assuming they did, they could've beaten South Korea and then made the finals against Brazil. I doubt they win the final because of who was leading Brazil, but it would've been a remarkable run.
USA was really robbed in this match… world cup used to be a robbery scene against the underdog teams since 2002 by far…
a seleção da germânia de verde um e zero pro estados unidos de azul.
Que ironía
Contra México era penalti de una mano que rremato Cuahutemoc blanco y no lo marcaron
Era penalti y expulsión
Hubiera pasado México y aquí el carna regresa
Penalti y expulsión y usa hubiera pasado
Clearly a handball… USA were cheated out of a penalty
Even a below average Germany can't be taken lightly.
Makes me sick watching that ball cross the line and a handball. The U.S. biggest mistake was not inventing VAR
Some refs have the guts to make big calls, others just turn the other way, bad luck that night
Best USA squad we ever had just think if ref saw that handball…
That was clearly a handball, even goal line technology says so….
Y si ganaban ese partido hubieran jugado en semifinales con Korea, prácticamente era el pase a la final ganarle a Alemania , un señor equipazo ese de Estados Unidos
Tied Korea, beat Portugal, lost to Poland when it should have mattered, beat a common foe in Mexico….
This run was slightly exaggerated, sorry not sorry
I was 13 and watched every USA game in this World Cup except for this one! Because it was on when I had school. I remember getting up 3-4 in the morning to watch their games lol when I heard and then saw that they got robbed I was heartbroken. They said we had all the momentum and could’ve had a great chance to win in extra time. Hopefully we can make some noise as a young team in this World Cup, because 2002 was one of the best US teams!
VAR would have given a goal to the US and penalty to the German defender.
wow didnt know we got cheated on this game till today 11-29-2022

Not just the best USA team ever but also one of the very best national teams to ever grace the field. They were basically playing a more rugged style of total football, each one of them ran through each and every blade of grass on the field. It's the epitome of playing like a well oiled machine, not a single player above the rest, no one star that everyone would be looking at and assisting to get goals, just all the parts of the system working together and doing their part to create a squad that although wasn't powerhouse definitely played like they were.
🇩🇪🇬🇷
That's outrageous. That was a handball, penalty all day
If then VAR system had been fuctioned as Worldcup rule, Match score might be changed.
Germany's worst game in the World Cup and they still managed to win the game 1-0.
I get tired of reading comments from youngsters talking about how great today’s squad is. It isn’t even close. The 2002 squad would mop the floor with today’s team.
1-0 Michael Ballack (39 min)
Tremenda mano era del defensor alemán y no cobraron penal , una lastima para estados unidos , jugaron muy bien ese partido
While Kahn and Ballack even Klose were considered the best players of all time, i am also respect to US players of 2002 WC having played all matches with more effective than ever before thanks to Reyna, Friedel, and Donovan to lesser extent McBride.
