Ya, but Preki is too old to play

AlexB · 06-17-2006, 02:17 PM

I see you have Bill Cowher's balding ginger brother as Arena's assistant

jbmagic · 06-17-2006, 02:17 PM

Both teams using a 4-4-2 formation?

US is playing a 4-5-1 with Donovan playing an attacking mid role.

Critch · 06-17-2006, 02:18 PM

Looks very much like the Italy v Ghana game so far. Italy hanging back allowing the opponents to come at them and then trying to ping balls over the defence for Toni to run on to.

Boring, boring Italy, in other words.

Damn.

Dempsey starting in the WC is the greatest moment in Furman history... Nobel prize and Behaviorism be damned

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 02:18 PM

US really playing well!!! winning the ball all over the place

MrBug708 · 06-17-2006, 02:20 PM

I have a feeling this game is going to be like US-Germany in 2002 with us playing great and losing by a goal

Neuqua · 06-17-2006, 02:20 PM

The United States seem to really want to make a push and consider that first goal vital. We won't be able to keep up the pace forever though so it'd be nice to get one score in.

If Italy scores first, I can see us get deflated, very quick.

tucker rocky · 06-17-2006, 02:21 PM

How can Pope be yellowed?

Schmidty · 06-17-2006, 02:21 PM

I didn't really think I'd like soccer, but this is pretty fun to watch.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 02:21 PM

Were our fans chanting bullshit?

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

So far this WC, we have allowed teams to counter us to easily.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

sovereignstar · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

god dammit

Schmidty · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

Ok, now it's not fun.

MIJB#19 · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

Typical Italy. sigh...

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

bullsh*t

Eaglesfan27 · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

SHIT.

Neuqua · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

Sigh.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 02:22 PM

And there it is. Our set piece defense sucks balls.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 02:23 PM

WTF were our defenders doing? Pathetic.

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 02:23 PM

wtf, half the guys are playing the offsides trap and the other half are not

GoldenEagle · 06-17-2006, 02:23 PM

That was an absolute bullshit call on the foul.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 02:24 PM

The Italians are fucking pussies. The US is attacking, one of their guys goes down to chill it.

I was going to say it was poor defence, but this is probably the better way to put it.

At least you should have some hope: you are being more physical, more positive - not being walked over and showing that you care. Only one goal down, and you've had a couple of half chances already

jbmagic · 06-17-2006, 02:24 PM

Viva Italy

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 02:24 PM

Just like that, Italy sends it down the field to kill our attack.

AlexB · 06-17-2006, 02:25 PM

It was a tackle from behind (one of the referee's focus points in this WC) which didn't win the ball.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 02:25 PM

Wow, a foul on Italy? The ref got confused.

So far the only decision the ref has got wrong was the soft booking for Totti. Can't blame the ref.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 02:26 PM

We need to be more dangerous on these set pieces.
