Here's hoping Prior continues to show improvement.
-
Julie Foudy needs to be fired. She said that Brazil should be concerned because Ronaldo looked horrible. Um, Julie, the last time I checked Brazil is basically an all-star team, especially offensively. I'm sure they have another young striker (Robinho maybe?) that can come in and do a great job.

F-I-R-E D-U-S-T-Y
-
Because he's fat? yeah, pretty much He does look a little chunkier than he should be. And aside from that one shot Ronaldo hasn't done a thing today. Unless he picks it up, he doesn't have a chance to get the all time World Cup goal scoring record.

one good start by marmol and marshall's 4.43 era remind you of prior's near cy young season and wood's 14 win, 3.19 era and amazing pitching down the stretch leading the cubs to the postseason? that's some imagination you got there. While I agree it's a stretch. He's just basically excited to see some pretty decent young guys step up and possibly be our pitchers next year. Don't put a downer on that please!! You have to remember also that marshalls ERA is inflated by that one inning where he gave up like 6 or 7 runs. He's had a handful of only giving up 1-3 runs per game. 4 of his 12 starts he's been pretty bad(4 ER/4.1 IP, 4 ER/5 IP, 9 ER/3.2 IP, 7 ER/3.1 IP), so it's not like one or two outings are really skewing his numbers. The two outings where he gave up 4 runs were the first two starts of his career and his pitch counts were likely limited (65 and 79 pitches). I wouldn't call those "pretty bad" since the Cubs won both of those games. Since then he has had two bad starts out of the remaining 10. He's also had 7 quality starts.

So does he get shut down in August or September for Tommy John surgery?
-
I know JP Dellacamera said it, but I said it to my gf before. That goal hurts because Croatia played so well in the first half and were a couple minutes away from going into halftime tied and now they're down 1-0.

leaving for Minneapolis tomorrow morning...

It does leave a lot to be desired. At least you will see Schilling pitch. -
Too bad the A's will choke when the postseason comes (assuming they make it).

Mench available?

Maybe he needs some new shoes again? -
I would not go that far at all. I think its more than possible they lose in the quarters, hell Italy could beat them in the round 16. I think at least 5 countries have very legit shots of beating them. If they lose in the group stage then it would be a huge upset. If they lose in the knockout stage it would still be an upset but not a huge upset. Brazil will be favored in each of their matches though. A team would have to play an almost perfect match to beat Brazil though.
-
I wouldn't call it disappointing. Both teams had numerous opportunities to score but neither team converted. It was an entertaining game though.

Eyre strike

I would be a little more hesitant to trade with the Cardinals, or any NL Central team for that matter, simply because they are in the Cubs' division. I would also be more hesitant to trade with any NL team than any AL team because of the Wild Card. I would consider the White Sox to be equal to any other team in the AL. That being said, any trade that would help the Cubs in the future, I would be in support of as long as we are getting decent parts in return. I could care less who the Cubs are trading with. If the trade helps the team, it's a good trade. If the trade doesn't them the team, then it's a bad trade. Simple as that. -
My dad did the same thing. I wanted to call him at work and tell him to not get excited but I couldn't because I knew he would be ticked if I did. I haven't talked to him yet but I'm sure he's not pleased that he went with media blackout all day and had to watch that atrocity of a match.
-
It's amazing how much better both France and Switzerland look than the US did yesterday. It's nice to see teams actually be able to put together a competant attack.
-
Are you referring to the Swiss set piece where the deflection went off the post? That was so close. Should've had a goal there though.
-
Not to burst your bubble, but even if we beat Italy and Ghana, we might not advance. Let's just say that everybody in the group beats Ghana. If we beat Italy but Italy beats Czech Republic, all three would end up with 6 points. Then it would come down to goal differential. Considering the fact that we are already -3 on GD, we are in some serious trouble.
-
I wonder what would have happened in the game had Reyna's shot gone in and made the score 1-1. I wonder if that would have given the team a much needed energy boost.
-
Yeah, hopefully I win the lottery tomorrow too. I really don't expect them to score a goal. Maybe someone a little more knowledgeable on the subject can correct me if I'm wrong, but if the score stays the same, wouldn't the U.S. need the Czech to win out to have the best chance to advance? Yes. If the Czech Republic wins out that means every team in the group will have at least 1 loss (Ghana a guaranteed 2 since they lost to Italy as well). If the US beats Ghana and Italy then they'll advance. If they beat Ghana and tie Italy, then it would come down to goal differenctial. In otherwords, the US would have to absolutely destroy Ghana and hope the Czech Republic stomps on Italy. The latter is unlikely because the Czech's would only need a tie in this situation. This is why we NEED to beat Italy. If the US would have lost by 1 goal, that would have been different. But right now we are down 5 in goal differential to Italy.
-
Well if it helps one of those 4 ties was against the US in 2002 Which game? We beat Portugal 3-2, tied South Korea 1-1, lost to Poland 3-1, beat Mexico 2-0 and lost to Germany 1-0. No 2 goal comebacks for a tie there.
-
My bad. I'll start a better poll, with all the teams, once we get to the elimination stage of the tournament.

6/11 Cubs[Marmol] @ Reds[Milton] - 12:15 pm CT on WGN
soccer10k replied to Uber's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Great to see Marmol not only get a start but pitch well also. The Cubs have a real winning streak going. Haven't seen this in a while. -
Slick and The Big Broken Down need to figure out something quick. They looked awful today. The BBD had just five points on 2-5 shooting in 28 minutes and wasn't even in foul trouble.
-
No. There is a reason nobody has done it since 1941. Everybody was talking about DLee hitting .400 and winning the Triple Crown last year and he didn't come close to getting either of those.
-
I made sure to request off the mornings when the US was playing a month ago. I also requested the semifinals and the finals off a month ago as well to make sure I didn't have to work.
