If he starts for Watford, against us then we haven''t got anything to fear, how he is an international footballer is beyond me.

Just goes to show how poor American Football is, and how poor England were.

Thought Watford had released him he was so good!

He played for Watford, not Norwich. He''s better than anyone we''ve got on our team who played international football for Ireland.

He would be a superb signing.  He was released from Watford as he was on high wages for them and got hurt scratching his eye while taking out a contact.  He man-marked Rooney out of the game last week.  He was by far our best defender during this World Cup campaign.  Too bad he can''t play right back, as we need that more than a CB, but DeMerit would be a fantastic signing for us.  He will end up in the Championship, but probably on a team with bigger needs in the middle of the defense, and on a team more willing to pay.  I''d love him here but I''d prefer to see us get a solid RB first.

Solid, experienced at the right level - I would be happy enough to have him in the squad but as others have said we need to sort of a couple of other positions first.

I thought he had a good tournament as well to be honest. Wouldn''t mind seeing him at Carrow Road, he probably is better than Micky Nelson

Solid enough defender, certainly good enough at Championship level.

Based on the one game, you could say that about any footballer. Rooney against Algeria, by a German fan??

Agree, De Merit would be a good signing for someone. He''s never going to be a top 6 Premiership player, but so what?

Quite a few of the American players had decent tournaments, and, yesterday in particular, I thought Benny Feilhaber looked a very decent player. Was rooting for them to win yesterday, but Ghana had just a little too much more about them.

Funny how everyone was disappointed that England didn''t get Ghana for the perceived "easier" game-I don''t think there seems much to choose between them and Germany quite honestly, and it wouldn''t have been the "gimme" all and sundry seemed to think.

Did anyone else see on ssn they had a clip of Barack Obama watching the game and he actually had to have some of the rules explained to him. For example he diddnt know how long extra time there was
