  1. A tie here, especially scoreless, would make it pretty easy to advance with a tie by USA and a tie in the UK/Slov game.
  2. What was a bigger blown call for the US? Today's phantom foul, or the non-handball call at the goal against Germany in 2002. Obviously the 02 call was bigger being in the QFs...
  3. Is that Edu making his run at the goal in the upper left corner?? And again with more proof that he didn't foul anyone before/during the free kick. Are guys blind?? Can't you see Edu's hand on that Slovenian player's back?!? He might as well have clotheslined the guy with that kind of contact. I can see why the ref ignored all the other fouls and chose to make the one on Edu.
  4. On a side note, my boss just walked out of his office carrying a vuvuzla or whatever that buzzing thing is. He said he ordered it directly from South Africa lol
  5. Not today. Well, maybe in a "England can demoralize Algeria so it makes it easier for us to roll them and proves we should roll them" sort of way, but if Algeria can get anything out of this game it would be nice. A tie this afternoon means the US is through with a win of any margin against Algeria. If Algeria ties, they still have something to play for when they play the USA. I don't know what's worse...an Algeria with something to play for or one with nothing.
  6. OK from the time Donovan kicked the ball to the time that the ball was stuck by Edu was probably what 2 seconds, maybe 3 at most? So in that time Edu had time to foul someone, then get up to full speed to kick the ball in? Unless it happened before the ball was kicked.
  7. Clapping in general is stupid. Making a slapping sound by banging your hands together is so barbaric. I wish they invented some sort of instrument that created some sort of buzzing noise for situations like this.
  8. Let's not forget the gutty performance that got us out of a 2 goal hole and back into contention for a trip to the knockout round. Now a win will get us pretty good odds of advancing. If England wins its last 2 games and we win our last game, we're in. That's probably the most likely scenario anyways. If England loses to Slovenia and we win, we're in too. If England ties slovenia and we win, we have goal differential to worry about and it comes down to who beats Algeria by more.
  9. Well....it could be a lot worse
  10. How much time will we have when this guy comes off the field? A minute? 30 seconds?
  11. Just because our country could occupy yours in a matter of hours doesn't mean you have to screw us over in soccer. geez.
  12. Was that a bad enough call on that goal that it's going to be a big story after the game??
  13. Play for a tie or try to keep the pressure on? I think we have to play for a tie and hope england beats Slovenia and we beat Algeria. Holy [expletive] this is awesome.
  14. ORGASM!!
  15. dammit...good attempt
  16. OK when you've handed out like 4 yellow cards to the same team in like the last 10 minutes, doesn't that tell you something about how the other side is playing? The refs don't want to kick anyone out of the match.
  17. Those cheap ass mother [expletive]. They really deserve a red as its pretty obvious they have no intention of going for the ball half the time.
  18. If that was anywhere but exactly right at the keeper at chest level, that's the equalizer. Fudge
  19. SO CLOSE DAMMIT
  20. These stupid americans don't know how to play football. How did they make such a great touch pass, those idiots must have used their hands. I must give out yellows.
  21. good passing for USA. Getting chances....need to get SOG though. Every time we've done that we've gotten success so far. Doesn't have to be the prettiest goal ever.
  22. Or we could draw this, and then have England beat Slovakia like they should while the USA beats Algeria by 2 goals. Either way that would involve at least 4 goals from a team that has only had one complete gift of a goal in 135 minutes so far.
  23. Amazing. It's hard to get a better draw than the one we got. Then we managed to get a point out of by far the only real tough team in the group. And we still aren't going to advance. At this rate, we'll lose to Algeria too.
