It just stopped auto refreshing. If you refresh the page, he's still commenting.

Why does Beasley always seem to be so passive?

 

And do they not realize they need two goals in 40 minutes?

Question for all you soccer fans:

 

Is there diving/horrible calls all the time? I know the bad calls probably don't always happen, but it ticks me off to see players getting rewarded for being a wuss and flailing to the ground when someone breathes on them.

 

I'm trying really, really hard to enjoy this. At times it is very exciting, but the lack of scoring opportunities and all this diving is annoying.

Why.....who.....is that who I think it is??....warming up on the sidelines....it's...it's...NEIFI! He's going to save the USA!!!

[Jazz]

[Milli1306]

EJ in the game, let's hope for some excitement

[Banedon]

US doesn't deserve to win.

[Milli1306]

Eddie Lewis is playing well

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Argh, too many close ones not going in. At least they're being more aggressive.

[Andy]

It took till the 67th minute for Arena to turn up the heat :roll:

With all these crippled players I don't know how teams can finish the entire tournament with a full squad.

[goonys evil twin]

what the heck was that?

donovan a disapointment as usual

[Jon]

Well that sucked.

These guys don't seem very good at kicking soccer balls toward the net.

Understatement of the day.

You would think "good kicker" would top the list of requirements in a soccer player.

Donovan didn't show up to Germany.

[goonys evil twin]

another dead Ghanian? How long until the UN calls it genocide?

[Jon]

Come on. It's not like we're going to score.

I'm no expert, but I think the powers that be in US soccer should start looking for guys who can kick better if they want to do anything in this tournament.

[Outshined_One]

Bad PK call or not, this second half has been pathetic.

 

The US has only played well in one game this tournament. They got what was coming to them.

[Flames24Rulz]

What an embarassment. To only score 1 legit goal in 3 games is pretty disappointing and to not even make the Round of 16 is even worse.
