Aside from England's score in the 4th minute, I think that the USA dominated the field the first half. The second half was a different story where England dominated, both teams took great shots with England taking more of them, and the USA resorting to Howard and his amazing keeping skills.

Overall, it was an entertaining game, and I think 1:1 is a deserved result.

But the USA's second-half strategy is not necessarily a recipe for success.

Slovanian goal was good

excellent shot

not really, the goalie must be physically retarded.

It was too soft, it threw him off :awe:

I have always argued scoring is far more important than how spectacular it is

Zidane might go down to the dressing room and headbutt that idiot striker that got sent off

:awe:

I love watching these pansies writhe on the ground like they just got leg kicked by Anderson Silva.

OF course, being kicked in the leg with boots is a joy ride. You should try it sometimes.

Don't you have American Football to watch?

Oh wait, that's right, it is not a good advertising time, so no game.

So let me get this straight... you think those guys are all writhing around like that because they are really in that much pain? Really? Hint, hit rewind on your DVR and go watch the last play where the guy was holding his leg... uhh wrong leg dude.

One can enjoy watching the World Cup without having to enjoy watching the pansy aspects of the game as well.

Servia Ghana started.

Oh I am not saying all the injuries are real. But real injury do occur.

 

[sdifox]

That linesman is blind...calling a corner a throw in.

 

[sdifox]

[sdifox]

I thought almost exactly the same thing. The US seemed to play pretty lackadaisical the second half.


In other awesome news, World Cup organizers are considering a ban on those annoying horns. Thank God...

 

[Fingolfin269]

Wow...

 

[KeithTalent]

Please do this. It could be the reason all the seats aren't filled as well. I can't imagine how loud those things are when actually inside the stadium.

 

[dbk]

Lalas is so annoying. Remove him pls

I got a couple of these at a Columbus Crew games a few years ago. During the game my 2 YO couldn't figure them out. It wasn't until I was driving us home in our extra-large SUV at 70 MPH that my son almost killed us all.

no shit, if they dont ban them all they need to do is filter the sound on the broadcast which would very very simple to do

its been well publicized that they couldnt sell out this tournament...all the others were sell outs well before the games even started on day 1

 

[Anubis]

couldent sell out because of the horns or couldn't sell out due to the fact that its in SA?


id wager it has more to do with the 2nd

 

[bigrash]

Germany vs. Australia about to start soon. Let's see how good Germany is without their captain.

im going with south africa....its like the farthest away they could get from europe/usa and i dont mean to sound racist or anything, but thats where a lot of the fan base who can actually afford tickets live.


edit: did anyone see that little girl walking out with podolski? jesus she was tubby.

 

[bigrash]

[dbk]
