Italy just needs to tie to advance right?

USA needs to win and hope Italy wins right?

And it looks like Claudio's knee gave way like Michael Owen.

Italy scored against the run of play from a corner, Czech Rep. have been the better side for sure.

With mistakes like that, the US doesn't deserve to advance.

Of all people to make an idiot mistake ... it had to be Reyna. The stars are not aligned.

Does Bruce realize his 1-striker tactic has produced ZERO goals this WC.

Maybe a change might be in order???

I'm not impressed with Bruce Arena as a coach.

And I don't think the US deserves to advance, no matter how much the stupid commentators want us to believe that they're playing well.

Maybe this is a dumb question but why didn't Convey get the start over Lewis? It seemed to me he played quite well vs. the Italians last game.

Worse it's produced two shots on net in 3 games: that Dempsey header earlier and Reyna's post deflection.

How many goals before a second striker is added? I just don't get it. You find space for Beasley who's been absolute pants, to steal English slang, but can't put Johnson in. Sad.

Cuz Bruce has been drinking too much German beer this past week and a half.

Every time I flip over to the Italy game I see one of their players rolling around on the ground.

I think he'll leave this set up till half-time, then put on a striker. As the US, you have to play for the win here, which is why I don't understand the tactics here.

This is teeth grinding right now. Eddie Johnson would be killing this defense. He's a perfect foil for McBride.

We need two goals at least to advance and we only have three guys forward on that last attack.

Can somebody please knock some sense into Bruce.

I still think Bruce is a moron for having only 1-striker, but at least we're back in it.
