• tk421

  

  God damn it. We're gassed! Game's over.
• hoops23

  

  Our long kicks towards goal are not working.
  
  Try to build an attack, it's not just going to happen! Come on!
• Glory Days

  

  what horrible crosses. this is minor league soccer here we are playing.
• tk421

  

  Someone put a shot on goal!
• tk421

  

  Damn it, USA had a good run. Won our group. Just wasn't meant to be.

  It would have been really helpful if we hadn't had to blow a sub 30 fucking minutes into the match.
• tk421

  

  If the USA ever learns how to play good defense, we will really then be a world soccer player. Until then, we just don't have the defense.
• hoops23

  

  Can't be too disappointed, we won our group and the team continually improves on the international level.
  
  With that said, our defense severely needs to be looked at and improved.
• Glory Days

  

  what the fuck man.
• hoops23

  

  SO CLOSE!!!
  
  FUCK!

  yeah we won, but not because we played good. you cant give up goals in the first 5 minutes of every game.
• tk421

  

  3 minutes!
• hoops23

  

  My goodness... Close again.
• Glory Days

  

  did howard try and swat that with his hand?
• tk421

  

  Howard forward!

  I was becoming a soccer fan while watching the World Cup this year, but watching the ref allow all these fake Ghana injuries is really starting to turn me off. Can't the ref do something about that? Do all teams pull that crap? I'd be embarrassed if the US team ever acted like that....

  Yeah no shit, which is why I said our defends really needs to be looked at lol. Obviously Gooch wasn't 100% either.

  yeah that was a great decision by Bradley to start Ricardo Clark over Maurice Edu.
  
  The Cleveland Indians should offer Bradley a job after this. They like authority figures who yank players around and in and out of lineups.

  They are allowed to issue Yellow cards or speed them up, for some reason the refs let it go..
• tk421

  

  Oh, well. Good showing by the USA but our defense really really really really needs work.
• tk421

  

  FUCK! OVER! Ghana 2 - USA 1.
• tk421

  

  We just can't beat Ghana. Second straight WC where they eliminate us, by the same score.

  This. We might have got the softest group possible, couldn't beat Slovenia, and needed every minute to beat Algeria. Then we manage to win the group with 5 points (the lowest winning total in any group... wouldn't have even advanced us in 3 groups), get a gift draw, and blow that too.
  
  I am NOT satisfied with the performance at all. Getting out of the group was the expectation, not the goal.
  
  Changes need to be made with this team, because the team only really looked good for about 100 out of 400 minutes in this tournament.
