MAKE THE SUB

henry296 · 06-17-2006, 03:35 PM

Now that McBride tackle was from behind, but they called the advantage.

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 03:35 PM

WHAT IS HE DOING, STOP DRINKING WATER, MAKE THE SUB

Surprised to see no card on that one.

AlexB · 06-17-2006, 03:36 PM

I refer back to my original post on this game: the ref is shite. Not biased, just shite. Blatant foul by McBride not called there tackle from behind

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:36 PM

Lando finally showing his skill.

SI

If you made that an all-star game or 1992 Dream Team Olympic squad, I'd agree with you. This is the *highest* level of soccer in the world. People are going to wonder if this level is full of this sort of garbage, how bad must the lower levels be?

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:37 PM

does the us have any more subs? seems like a pair of fresh legs would be huge now.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:37 PM

That's why we don't have Johnson in. A cross in front of goal and he gets it on goal.

A 22 year old adds nothing right now, not even if he's the fastest guy in the world.

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 03:37 PM

BEASLEY, YOUR KILLLING ME

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:37 PM

Glad to see two US guys get knocked down at the same time.

If sure if they went down without contact they would have gotten a call.

Do you see how tired the Italians are? (and McBride for that matter)

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:38 PM

Nah, Bease got stopped cold. Londo just fell down.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:39 PM

We wouldn't get it to Johnson.

Consider this a football equivalent of an NFL play-off game, and everyone knows the officials were perfect in this year's playoffs, right

The ref's having a mare. It happens, and it sucks when it works against you, but it happens in all sports

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:40 PM

Praying we hold on for a tie at this point. We have zero energy left.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:40 PM

This is looking like turtle soccer.

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 03:40 PM

BEASLEY, do something you're the only one not playing on fumes

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 03:41 PM

where is that f*ing sub

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:42 PM

If I'm being honest, it looks like beasely is doing one of those Kobe, I'm proving a point, matches. he just looks pissed on the field.

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:43 PM

It looks like the US has stopped playing. They better get serious or they will lose it.

Critch · 06-17-2006, 03:43 PM

The US are getting stuck in and the ref is calling nothing. It's like he's afraid to book another US player in case he accidentally books one who's already on a yellow.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:43 PM

Aww, great. A set piece for Italy.

Eaglesfan27 · 06-17-2006, 03:44 PM

Heart attack time.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:44 PM

We need to WAKE up or else we will lose this.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:45 PM

Is anyone else screaming for guys to step up on a guy?

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:45 PM

Put in a defensive sub at least!

It's called fatigue.

Celeval · 06-17-2006, 03:45 PM

USE THE DAMN SUB!!

Critch · 06-17-2006, 03:46 PM

If he'd went down there, that was a penalty.

AlexB · 06-17-2006, 03:46 PM

Italy could have had a penalty there - shirt pulling. The ref desperately doesn't want any more controversy.

That's just unacceptable. This is their second game. And don't they still have a sub?

They only have 9 guys on the field. 8 not counting the keeper.

Dude, they've played the 2nd half two men down. They're entitled to be a little winded I think

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:49 PM

3 mins stoppage time? with all those stretchers thought it would be 20.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:49 PM

And now I have to root for this Italian team on Thursday. Somebody shoot me.

Do you have any idea how much they run in a game like this? With two men sent off you have to cover a lot of extra ground.

Dunleavy · 06-17-2006, 03:50 PM

if your playing 9 v 10 and you end the game with a sub, your basically an idiot

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:51 PM

Nice dive a-hole.

It's always hard to root for them, they're always boring, they always have talent, and they never go for the kill.

And then when they lose they whine about FIFA hating them and the referees being out to stop them win.

MIJB#19 · 06-17-2006, 03:51 PM

Wow. What a game. Instant classic.

I understand but they are playing for their world cup lives out there. Would have expected to see them give it another offensive sot or 2.

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:52 PM

A tie is good enough for now. Italy has to win though, or Italy better get their ass handed to them.

kingfc22 · 06-17-2006, 03:52 PM

So we need an Italy win and a win over Ghana.

Or a Czech win and we absolutely destroy Ghana.

ChiMatt · 06-17-2006, 03:52 PM

Nice moral victory but that doesn't mean anything. I thought this team was passed moral victories.

rexallllsc · 06-17-2006, 03:52 PM

Second half thoughts

Ref did a complete 180 and was the definition of inconsistent.
Donovan played well
Arena, no sub up front? Eddie Johnson? HELLO!
Bocanegra and Cherundolo were really solid today

Easy Mac · 06-17-2006, 03:53 PM

Either way, there needs to be two blowouts next time in our favor.
