I nearly spit out my coffee. The idiot assumes that because Keller plays (starts?) in Europe that he's the best there is. I don't even know who he plays for. What a moron he was to listen to.
I jsut found this forum:

very funny.
Now it's a tragedy, but if you browse back some pages, you'll find a load of statements like these true gems:
"We will win. There is absolutely no reason to believe that the US will not win the World Cup."
"12% of the Americans say they will win this World Cup"
"We can win this thing. We can crush the Czechs. We can send the Italians running back to their momma mias. We can manhandle Ghana like rag dolls. Who's with me?"
"We are #5 in the world, in our group only the czechs are above us, so we and them will go through"
"Come on, Donovan is way better than Totti"
"WE ARE THE FUTURE. The future is NOW."
"ELO rankings overrate mediocre european teams like Denmark"
"I predict 4-3 to Brazil after extra time"
"We're gonna show the world and you EuroSnobs what we can do"
"Your using the level of "play" in italian Serie A as some sort indicator of quality? You MUST be joking."
"We reached quarter finals in 2002, and having improved, it's clear that we'll reach at least the semis now"
"Czech republic is a small county, we should have no problems in defeating them" (as if they were talkng about invading them!)
