[Hairyducked Idiot]

BTW am I right for cheering for Portugal here (at least for 1 goal)? I want to be farther away from a Ghana win. If Portugal gets up multiple goals or the US down then I'be concerned about Portugal advancing.

 

yes

[USSoccer]

Davis has been out of position the entire game.

[shnsajax]

Dammit how did Ronaldo not score there??

 

Cause he sucks!

[wvcbxl]

Portugal has scored

[bukie]

Portugoal.

[Billy_Buck]

Portugal has scored

Release the hounds!

[shnsajax]

Own Goal too

[USSoccer]

Davis needs to be taken out with the quickness. He's been awful.

 

Gonzalez has actually been solid thus far. They need to get Clint more touches. Our passing in the final third has been bad.

Pretty much as good as we could have hoped score-wise in the first half. We're either three or four goals away from being eliminated.

[wolf stansson]

Omar, Besler, Beasley, Jones, Fab, Beckerman have all been great. Bradley good at times, would be great with normal first touch. Deuce isolated. Good effort so far.

 

I reiterate, Fab should be starting fullback at either side for this German team. Very glad he chose us.

[wvcbxl]

Germany started out well but faded after a quarter; the USA stayed with them very well after that.

45 minutes from advancing from Group of Death

Schweinsteiger taking Dempsey down, giving him a hand and Deuce slapping it away is why he is a got dam national treasure.

[shnsajax]

Omar, Besler, Beasley, Jones, Fab, Beckerman have all been great. Bradley good at times, would be great with normal first touch. Deuce isolated. Good effort so far.

 

I reiterate, Fab should be starting [expletive] at either side for this German team. Very glad he chose us.

 

Think about our potential back 4 in 2018 with Fab, Yedlin, Brooks, and Besler. Lots of potential with that group.

Klose coming in. Germany going for the win.

[Mark Priors Calves]

Huge play by Gonzalez

[wvcbxl]

Start scoreboard watching ...

[USSoccer]

Nice corner concession, Davis you [expletive].

[Guest]

Damn. Oh well, it was coming.

 

Time for Germany to stop attacking.

[wolf stansson]

Fwiw:

@BabakGolriz: Graham Zusi has joined an English club according to David Pleat. It's been kept secret for the last few days #Spurs

 

Pleat former Spurs manager. Still tight with club. Maybe he's got the wrong SKC player?

[USSoccer]

Ghana scored, too

[scarey]

It's a shame how much of a target Bradley has been for criticism from the casual fan. I can't believe how tenacious he's been pressuring Germany's backline. I wonder if the amount of energy he's been expending has had an effect on his touch, or if it's just been mental lapses.

[Mark Priors Calves]

2-1, 1-0 is looming

[Guest]

Ghana scores. One goal away from elimination.

 

Come on, Portugal.

the Hun are good at flopping.
