Wow..great job Green on giving USA a goal. :tup:

Red370 06-12-2010 02:21 PM

well I hafta say, the US is going toe to toe with these guys, the goal was a gift, but for the run of play, the scoreline is deserved. Hopefully we come back in the second half with better distribution up front.

Altidore or Buddle (if they put Buddle in at half like they should)

Gomez or Buddle around the 70th minute will be a great boost, although Findlay hasnt done too bad so far, his speed has been evident, hasnt seen a good look at goal, but the Terry and King's lack of pace is exposed every time he runs at them from what i've seen so far.

Red370 06-12-2010 02:42 PM

Onyewu is starting to become a liability, he allowed the last two goal scoring chances because of poor positioning, he must come out NOW.

370Zsteve 06-12-2010 02:53 PM

That buzz noise in the background, holy schitt, my ears :ugh2:

Red370 06-12-2010 03:03 PM

how the **** was that not a foul on Carragher? he was beaten and he knocked Findlay off the ball, that was a Red cardable offense.

Red370 06-12-2010 03:25 PM

A good result for a game that was played well by both sides, on to Slovenia and Algeria.

:iagree: The Americans have seen a great result to begin the World Cup, I think they'll take alot of confidence from this match to be honest, they played straight up against the brits and held their own, congrats to the good ol' US of A!

blue660r01 06-12-2010 03:30 PM

Altidore shoulda been on the score sheet though :mad:

blue660r01 06-12-2010 03:31 PM

England may possibly play Germany in the 2nd round now haha

this is true, Green made a huge save, but for that post, the US took this game 2-1. We just might win this group, and I have a feeling it'll come down to goal differential.

cow 06-12-2010 03:44 PM

The USA deserved a win. England was supremely lucky to escape with a draw.

I feel the same way about the side lacers. I don't like those at all.

I'm torn in a way, I've always had my laces on top, until I experimented with some old Total 90's (then realized they were too wide for my feet), but I use the outside of my feet alot, particularly when bending away long passes and taking free kicks with outward bend, so I guess i'm more of a traditionalist, I still score loads of goals either way. :tup:

cow 06-12-2010 03:54 PM

I have pretty narrow feet & feel the side lacers don't die tightly enough.

England's uniforms, especially the keeper's strip, are fantastic. If I didn't hate them, I'd buy one.

phelan 06-12-2010 04:28 PM

well well well. i guess we won't b seeing robert green anytime soon this WC2010

h/t to dempsey for even trying that BS shot, and LOL green.

what a game though, there were chances to be had, altidore's being the best. donovan could've been played on one but i think it was altidore that decided to take a snap shot instead.

i'm confident now for this group! :tup:

You fail. Now give me that damn link I asked for.

cow 06-12-2010 04:59 PM

What link was it, again?

(not being sarcastic, I really don't remember.)

blue660r01 06-12-2010 05:05 PM

lol wtf

SmoothZ 06-12-2010 05:10 PM

I remember when I was in England for work, the local Brits thought we were good luck for the home team. Every time we went to see Ipswich play, they'd win. lol

Hey, it's just like in hockey... Sometimes just throwing it at the net can make things happen.

Proud of our boys today.

SmoothZ 06-12-2010 09:04 PM

So where is the video of the US actually scoring a goal on England?

They are, and they NEVER run out of energy, both times I was stationed there, our Army teams always scrimmaged their Air Force in little friendlies every other weekend or so, they are very technical players with loads of pace, but cannot stand going up against physical teams, being soldiers/americans, we're more about the physical aspect of the game, so the games ended up being pretty scrappy affairs, but I respect them alot, i think they'll match up well and give the Argentinians one hell of a match.
