  1. So Brooks is probably coming in for Besler. F.
  2. We can't expect to defend a 1-0 lead for 90. We have to hold more possession, stop letting DMB get overrun, and show a lot more composure. We gave away possession so cheaply, so many times. It was frustrating to see. I want Yedlin on the right, and shift FJ over to the left.
  3. Beasley has been absolutely terrible. The ref has been completely terrible. Ghana could conceivably be down to 9 right now after that Muntari [expletive].
  4. Kick him the [expletive] out of the game
  5. It would be nice if we could hold some possession in their end..
  6. How the [expletive] is that not a card?
  7. That happened to Jozy in 2011, and Bob Bradley didn't have a backup then. This is AJ's time to change my mind about him.
  8. Oh no....
  9. No kidding. Just bittersweet. Got to be really difficult for him.
  10. I haven't felt this jumpy before a game since I was playing.
  11. Not really unexpected, but I very much hope Jones is able to cover enough ground so as to not leave Kyle exposed with attackers running at him, because he's very slow laterally.
  12. -Don't cough up an early goal -Don't unnecessarily expose the backline. -Shoot from distance; their keeper sucks.
  13. Nigeria are [expletive] awful.
  14. No, its pretty loud. Nigeria look sharp early
  15. Was Essien expected to play? I know he's been injured. Essien is old and kind of bad now. KPB has only played 3 times for Ghana since 2010; he looked less-than-impressive against South Korea in Miami. The mids they have in the rumoured lineup are all pretty good; they won't miss Essien at all.
  16. Yeah, although I thought the Swiss/Ecuador game was going to suck, too, and that turned out decently.
  17. Man, tonight's game...needs to hurry up and get here.
  18. That, and I overestimated Portugal. Even with all their guys, they weren't any good. Didn't defend, didn't pick up runners, didn't mark anyone, couldn't hold possession, offensively inept.
  19. Yes. And USSoccer is wrong (I said it). This is the best result possible. Germany is and was always going to advance out of this group. The competition for the US is Portugal and Ghana. And one of those teams now is seriously hampered. A tie would have helped Portugal and I have no idea why anyone would want that. I was definitely underestimating Germany. Going in, I had some questions. No longer; the only reason this game isnt 9-0 is because Germany stopped trying and started pretending they were Spain around the 18. So yeah, I was wrong.
  20. Coentrao's groin just Nomar'd. This could not be going better from the US's point of view.
  21. Correct; if it wasn't going to be 0-0, the next best outcome was a lopsided German win. So far, with 3 goals against and a red card, things are going well.
  22. Portugal blows, and Germany look like they have utter contempt for them. What a beating.
  23. Thanks for that, Pepe.
  24. Portugal kind of sucks.
  25. Pepe is easily the most hateable player in this game.
