Our guys are doing down like flies

Collude a draw with German, win the group, get a great matchup and go to the round of 8, Altidore gets healthy, ???

Ok. Football players are knocking knees and clipping ankles every freaking play and they never go down in a heap as much as soccer players do (and they have just as little padding below the thighs)

[bukie]

Ronaldo and 5 Portuguese offside.

No padding in the back, and football players generally don't run 20 yards with a full kick at the back of the leg.

Ronaldo and 5 Portuguese offside.

 

and Howard made the save anyway... (so what if they may have stopped really playing first)

[USSoccer]

Be smart now. Kill the game.

[bukie]

Token 5 minutes for Wondo, just stay out there and poach.

[bukie]

Heart in throat for this corner.

Football players train for and are athletically selected for their ability not to go down. It's pretty much the deciding factor of the game. That's like complaining that football players aren't as good at kicking the ball as soccer players are.

True, but some of these guys go down when they're at a stand still

Plus, it's about 110 degrees in the amazon jungle with 100% humidity.

[bukie]

Four minutes...

[UMFan83]

4 mins from advancing from the group of death

[USSoccer]

The jinx is coming on.

[bukie]

Make that 5 minutes. Gonzalez in for Zusi, another good move.

[UMFan83]

The jinx is coming on.

 

Believe in the jinx
