Rosicky? Nah, don't cover him. He sucks.

Desnudo · 06-12-2006, 12:25 PM

A couple of tines of the fork in the US. My prediction for a final score: 3-1.

Brillig · 06-12-2006, 12:26 PM

Complete lack of drive from the US team, they look like they're the ones with the 2-0 lead. Maybe they're saving energy for the next match :P Or maybe they were replaced in the middle of the night by the Cincinnati Bengals

rexallllsc · 06-12-2006, 12:26 PM

At least Balboa isn't pulling any punches.

Horrid.

kingfc22 · 06-12-2006, 12:27 PM

Do we know that we can't score if we don't shoot.

Uh, finally as I type this we get a decent shot.

DaddyTorgo · 06-12-2006, 12:27 PM

was that our first shot of the second half?

They ARE that good.

On the other hand, while it was a good cross finished off by a good header and a hell of a shot, they didn't necessarily come off a great build-up by the Czechs where you just have to resign yourself to just appreciating their skill. Both came off complete fuckups by the US team that just leaves you more frustrated because you cannot tell if you're completely outclassed or if you had some kind of chance if not for the fuckups.

At least that's my opinion on it.

AlexB · 06-12-2006, 12:28 PM

very good effort the by Johnson. Cach was beaten.

And then he snatches at the next chance

Dunleavy · 06-12-2006, 12:28 PM

Good attempt by Eddie Johnson, maybe it remind the rest of the US players where the goal is

rexallllsc · 06-12-2006, 12:28 PM

Ouch.

Desnudo · 06-12-2006, 12:28 PM

Keep feeding Johnson please

kingfc22 · 06-12-2006, 12:29 PM

There is a time limit guys....

Crapshoot · 06-12-2006, 12:29 PM

Just came back from watching it. Rosicky's goal is the goal of the tournament, as far as I'm concerned. Just wow.

rexallllsc · 06-12-2006, 12:29 PM

Can Arena plz get someone on for Convey or Beasley!?!?

rexallllsc · 06-12-2006, 12:30 PM

Convey LOVES to pass the ball to Cech.

kingfc22 · 06-12-2006, 12:31 PM

We need to start Johnson and McBride up front against Itlay and put Donovan in an AM role

I agree. I think in the first half the US had the better build up until the final third. Although neither team seemed particularly motivated.

cartman · 06-12-2006, 12:31 PM

Damn that was close!

Celeval · 06-12-2006, 12:31 PM

Nearly had one.

rexallllsc · 06-12-2006, 12:31 PM

My bad.

To be fair, at 2-0, the Czechs have bottled up, and there's no one on the US team who has the creativity to unlock them.

Karlifornia · 06-12-2006, 12:32 PM

Well..they're starting to geta pulse......If only we could have seen bits like over the first 70 minutes.

DaddyTorgo · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

Well, doesn't really matter now.

MIJB#19 · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

game over

Crapshoot · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

Dola, Beasley looked like crap - I had no clue he was out there, until the US lost possesion.

DaddyTorgo · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

might as well turn it off boys

rexallllsc · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

This guy "Gooch" is freaking not good.

kingfc22 · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

oh we suck again

daedalus · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

Good night, game over, drive home safely?

Celeval · 06-12-2006, 12:33 PM

Too much goal difference. Now we have to beat both Italy and Ghana - a tie won't do it.

Which basically means we're done.

Cringer · 06-12-2006, 12:34 PM

I guess I can give up hope.

Crap, this blows.

kingfc22 · 06-12-2006, 12:34 PM

Well shit, is it 2010 yet?

Bruce better play Johnson for the entire final two games.

Karlifornia · 06-12-2006, 12:39 PM

Claudio Reyna gets my vote for man of the match...I mean, without him we easily could have lost 8-0

More Johnson
Less Convey

BrianD · 06-12-2006, 12:41 PM

Did that announcer just say that the US is very capable of getting a result against Italy?
