Why are they switching to four games a day?
And with two matches at the same time? Suck.

so teams don’t just play their subs if they are already moving on. This way they don’t know the outcome of the other game in their group prior to playing theirs.
Plus it makes it easier to get it in in a month.

We had just tied it up and had the momentum
Theres no guarantee that we win like the Slovenia game, but i think it would have been a much different half if we went into the locker room 1-1 and not 2-1.
shit. england up 1-0

awesomw, awesome result...
me and my gf were at a standing room only bar in arlington. place went bananas went donovan put it in.
i’ve heard this sort of thing before w/ mcbride or claudio reyna, but as goes donovan, so goes the team. difference b/w donovan and the others is that i’ve never seen a player on team usa carry the team on his back like donovan has this wc. really impressive effort, very cool finishing.

To avoid Germany in the next round,
we just need Serbia OR Germany to win. If they both win, Serbia just has to win by less than 3 more than Germany does.
eh
i really think we can beat any of these teams. germany obviously scares me a bit since they have some solid attacking ability, but none of these teams have really wowed me today

i think...
germany is the most dangerous b/c they have the most accomplished finishers we ill have faced. a lot of the chances the u.s. tends to leave open are ones that good finishers exploit. slovenia finished chances when they were available, algeria did not. i doubt germany would be so charitable. ghana definitely has great skill on the ball and they have the germans looking a little confused thus far, but they seem to lack quality finishing, as well.

sweet goal...
this is an odd game. krauts definitely had the run of play when that one went in, but for most of this game, you’d think the black stars needed a win to get into the next round. from an enjoyability perspective, i respect the fact that they’re sticking w/ a forward, attacking style of ball.

The US team actually has a legitimate shot
At making the semis. Ghana in round one followed by South Korea/Uruguay. Those three teams are all pretty good but it’s not like we have to play powerhouses. We would meet brazil in the semis though.

As of right now
Brazil if Brazil wins or draws with Portugal they would be #1 in group G. The would play #2 from group H which could be anyone of Spain,Chile, or Switzerland at this point.

They’re missing that sweet spot of players that are 26-28 and already have been to 1 world cup but are just now hitting their prime. Practically everyone on their roster is over 30 or under 26
I think they're a little different
They’re a fantastic team that just always chokes at the World Cup.
thats why i said maybe
there may be a better word but regardless if you are good then you win. we’ll see, it should be a good game.

uruguay is a very sound team...

forlan and suarez are world class attacking players.
This is what really concerns me if we beat Ghana. So far the U.S. seems to be content at giving up a fair amount of relatively low percentage shots to hold defensive shape and set up the counter. When you have finishers like Forlan and Suarez on the field, those same opportunities aren’t nearly as low percentage. When we go up against a team like Uruguay the midfield will have to be much sharper on closing down attackers 25-35 yards from goal.
how's that workin out for you?

I'm watching this game, Mexico vs. Argentina, Uruguay vs. South Korea and England vs. Germany on ESPN 3.
This is fun.

fifa to censor in-stadium replays
yep…its soooo much easier when you refuse to admit you’re wrong
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
I think its probably fair
since you wont let them use replays to change their decision. No need to add more fuel to the fire during the game. The issue, however, is that theres no replay at all.
The NHL also has censorship on in house replays.
Not sure on the exact specifics of it all.
Insert something witty here.

the NHL has goal cameras and instant replay though

Yes
But not to overturn penalties and offside calls which are the problems in the WC.

but those arent similar issues in the NHL
so they wouldnt need it for that.

The point is
that offside and penalties are judgement calls. They are never going to review them. The NFL reviews everything, except penalties. The NHL doesn’t review penalties. Fifa doesn’t do it. None of them ever will.

but they dont have the same results
even the teams with the best power plays score only 20-25 percent of penalties.

I'm not disagreeing with you that the officiating has been terrible in the WC
I’m just saying that they are never going to review penalties in any sport. Fifa needs to add at least one more ref preferably two in order to straighten up some of these poor calls.

yea i got you
i’m just saying its much less of a big deal in hockey. the stuff that really can make a big deal in hockey is reviewable (like kick-ins etc). stuff that matters in FIFA…such as take-downs in the box, are not.

After seeing the Dutch and Brazil destroy their opponents, I can conclude
Uruguay/Ghana has NO chance of beating them.

Sepp Blatter has personally apologized to England and Mexico over officiating errors that knocked them out of the world cup
It definitely wasnt any of the 4 goals they let in that knocked England out or anything. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting to hear some contrition about Coulibaly.
i wouldn't hold my breath
coulibay was incompetent, but his actions didn’t change the outcome of anything. they’ll wait for it to blow over.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I wouldn't say it didnt change anything
The strategy going into that 3rd game is very different with 4 points than 2. Perhaps not needing that 3rd goal so desperately leaves the U.S. team less mentally and physically exhausted going into the Ghana match. With the way Germany dismantled England, i’d say it may have had a bigger impact than the Lampard non-goal did.
excellent point.

just watched all the shots on gamecast
eh. really only 7 shots combined on goal. maybe only a few legit chances. Its tough becasue you don’t really get to see them moving the ball. either way they are out next round.
yea...i watched some of it
careless and sloppy play really. looked pretty bad. paraguay is gonna get demolished in the next round.

wow, just tuned in
0-0 in the 115th minute?
Here comes the first shootout of this year’s WC.
The refs have stopped calling anything. everyone looks exhausted. even the fans.
heck, even the vuvuzelas seem quieter

i'm just seeing a lot of non-calls as well.
but that last yellow was ludicrous.

my prediction
someone’s going to blast one over the crossbar. because it’s happened about a thousand times this WC.

why do you have a defender take it? he’s never scored a goal.

I dont know enough about Japan's roster
but defenders taking PKs isnt that unusual. Grosso and Materazzi both took PKs for Italy in the ’06 final, and they 6 goals in about 100 caps between them.
what is a “cap”? I keep hearing that term.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
it basically just means appearance
from wikipedia:
The term dates from the practice in the United Kingdom of awarding a cap (meaning an item of headgear) to every player in an international match of association football. . . . Actual caps are not usually given any more (caps for friendly matches still exist, and each player gets one cap per international competition), but the term “cap” for an international or other appearance has been retained. Thus, a cap is awarded for each game played and so a player who has played x games, for the team, is said to have been capped x times or have won x caps.
international matches only though?
that explains the exclusivity of the term.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
I don't think i've ever heard anyone refer to club appearances as caps
Theres also some discrepancies between what FIFA counts and what some National Teams count regarding friendlies based on what rosters are involved and whether or not its an official FIFA international date. This is mostly just an issue for tying player to National Teams, but occasionally you’ll see FIFA report somones number of caps as lower than the National Team records.
yea....club appearances are not caps
only international appearances
