What an odd-looking photo. Were the guys in the first row averse to simply taking a knee instead of getting in an uncomfortable-looking crouch? Dude second from right looks like he's preparing for a clean and jerk. :p

The only thing I find odd about the photo is that there is no goalkeeper among the eleven players.

Results were as good as they could be for US yesterday...

We beat Cameroon by 3 goals and KSA draws with Germany.

Win against South Korea and we are through a draw may we need a little help
