Rough end to the first half. The offensive attack is looking pretty good, but they're not going to win this game if the GK can't hang onto the ball.

[Guest]

Ugh, that was awful, Seitz has had a few that have slipped out of his hands that he should have cleanly caught.

[sethuel1]

They look decently threatening, with Rogers looking to be the catalyst.

 

As stated previously, Seitz needs to hang onto the ball.

 

Beltran looks very shaky on the right, and Zizzo has been fairly quiet.

 

I'm confident.

[Jon]

This is getting too sloppy (not just because of the rain) and I don't like it.

 

The attack has certainly slowed down.

[Jon]

Geez. What a play in the net by Sturgis!

[Jon]

Beautiful run by Bradley, but what a save. Damn.

 

Seitz is really starting to get lucky. How many more face saves can he make?

 

Maybe lucky is the wrong word considering he looks to be on a different planet right now.

[Jon]

Good to see them start out with a quick chance, but the needed a shot on goal with that one.

[Jon]

OH MAN.

 

Adu needed to get that off sooner. He played it too far trying to get it past the GK. Man....

[Jon]

This official is terrible. How many yellow cards is that so far? 10? And now it's 10 v. 11...

 

And immediately after they blow it. Again, no excuse...

[Jon]

This is getting painful. A wide open goal on that header but couldn't connect cleanly.

[soccer10k]

OH MAN.

 

Adu needed to get that off sooner. He played it too far trying to get it past the GK. Man....

 

That was pathetic by Adu. It was a great ball played through to him and he should have just ripped it right away instead of trying to go around the keeper. It should have been 2-1 US then.

 

Plus I don't think the US guy deserved a second yellow for that. Yeah he was late, but he didn't get the guy very hard at all and missed him with his cleat. It was a foul but certainly not a yellow especially considering it was his second of the game.

[soccer10k]

Austria should have put the game away there with a 2 v GK but the shot hit the post.

[Jon]

Sigh. It was a very exciting extra time and both sides had tons of chances, but the US just couldn't convert those chances into solid shots on goal.

[USSoccer]

For the 2nd time in my life the US should have won a quarterfinal match but lost.

 

The good thing is that Adu and Jozy are ready, now. They should be on the field in Sweden next month.

They need to get Adu capped immediately.

[Jon]

Brazil with a beautiful goal to go up 3-0 on Argentina in the 69th minute.

 

I'm not sure there are many people who predicted this kind of domination, especially with Brazil's performance earlier in the competition.

[soccer10k]

If you would have told me before the game that the final score of the Copa America final would be 3-0, I would have said Argentina won. I can't believe Brazil beat them like that without Kaka and Ronaldinho.

The miserable season for the Fire continued as they were shutout 1-0 in their first USOC game against Carolina. Carolina's GK hadn't played a minute all season.

 

Not a very strong year for the MLS in the USOC.

Can't wait until they play Celtic FC.

 

Heh.

Heh.

 

Another reason we need to get our entire u-20 team over in Europe. Not to mention they would stand to make a little cash just for Adu and Altidore.

I'm in. Being that my Premier League following has dropped about 500% the past two years I don't have high expectations. I didn't even realize that Robben had left for Madrid .
