Down 1-0 off a corner
If we can't defend on set pieces its a lost cause. I've never liked Guzan. He always seems like fucking it up - certainly doesn't make the instinctive saves that Howard can.

Weak hand ball. 2-0. Diseased.
Yeah but would the U.S. Ever get a break from a Mexican ref.
I think the Klinnsman experiment is close to over. It's getting close to time to cut bait on him and some of the over the hill talent like Bradley and Dempsey and start bringing in young homegrown talent to get some experience and develop for the future.
Bradley stinks. A number of giveaways and crap passes.
Mexico and Uruguay both playing with 10 men now. Uruguay ties it up on ensuing free kick. They played the Chilean national anthem by mistake for Uruguay at the start of the game. How do you F that up. Embarrassing.
2-1 Mexico. The ref has had his hands full. I fear for his life after this game. If he crosses Mexico, he will not get out of the stadium alive. Pretty rowdy, 97% pro Mexico crowd. Is this game in Mexico City of Arizona?
3-1. Uruguay goalie confronting the ref after the game. Tensions are high. Entertaining game.
I have tix to the USA vs. Paraguay game in Philly. Taking my two sons and meeting my BIL and nephews and niece there. Should be fun!!!
This is a game the US should win. Damnit.
1-0 USA on a PK in the 9th minute. Costa Rica controlling play and possession.
2-0 USA. Jones with a nice shot in the 37th.
3-0. Floodgates open. Wood in the 42nd
The Tico's miss the snow.
Good to see them score a few.
They seem to have reverted to that absorb pressure mode in the 2nd half. I'd like to see more consistent possession rather than the sloppy stuff in this half.
^
I said the same to my wife mid way thru the half, things got a little better with fresh legs when Zusi subbed in. Wood looked impressive, very promising.
Had the mojo working tonight. They should always shoot the ball off the low inside corner of the post! Klinsman's got to be slapping himself in the forehead... "Why didn't I think of that?!"
Great display by the Yanks tonight. Paraguay Colombia has been interesting. They just had a guy sent off so he won't be playing vs the US.
Yes...a convincing win, but from watching the highlights, it could have been 7-0. They missed some easy chances on goal that they will have to convert to go anywhere in this tourney.
Yedlin is good defender. Bradley had a good throughball that they should have scored on.
Where is Tim Howard?
After watching both games, I was thinking the US may have a challenging game against Paraguay. Enjoy the game with the boys.Quote:

Wow. Messi's hat trick was efficient. Tons of quality. Amazing!
La Pulga!!
And Payet's goal was ridiculous. What a strike.
How does England keep screwing things up. They dominated this game and should have won at least 3-1.
US wins the group!!! Wow - good win vs Paraguay AND Costa Rica takes Columbia to the whipping post = US group winner.
OK...I love soccer, but that US - Paraguay was tough to watch. No flow to it at all. The referee was abysmal.
On another note, our nosebleed seats were facing west. It was 96deg and 1,234% humidity. The sun didn't relent until 10 minutes into the second half. Fuck. I would have rather played the 90 minutes than sit there roasting like that.
For some reason, the assholes in charge of tickets didn't sell ANY on the west (shady) side of the upper deck.
The kiddos loved the game and the atmosphere though. Lots of singing and chanting.
LOL
The fucking Russkis are behind the violence in France.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36515213
Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told a news conference: "There were 150 Russian supporters who in reality were hooligans. These people were well prepared for ultra-rapid, ultra-violent action. These are extremely well-trained people."
I love the italian "commentators". hahahaQuote:

Yeah...that's a shame to lose a game and a ticket to the next round on cheating like that.Quote:

In other news, Belgium looked like ass today.
I saw the highlights...2 incredible goals from Italy.
I am having a hard time working with all of this futbol.
Yeah that was a fun game
Speaking of Ireland...they looked good today. I am a fan too because...you know, I'm Irish.
Ya. Ireland dominated most of the match and created some great chances.
Just getting around to Spain - Czech now. Watching Don Andres play is just an absolute pleasure. THE most beautiful player of the beautiful game.
Was really pulling for Ireland. They had some good chances early and controlled the early part of the game.
Iceland earns a 1-1 draw with Portugal. Congrats to them.
That was fantastic by a nation of 330,000 people. I had a hunch Iceland would cause some damage.
Austrian TV expert after the AT/Hungary match: "We played well. Unfortunately there is always an opposing team in soccer."
I am able to watch the last game at lunch due to being on the west coast so that helps some, but my mind is elsewhere. There is also surf right now so I my mind is definitely elsewhere. I might be able to get out early today to get a session down in San Clemente, we will see.Quote:
