RiSeOnFiRe 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 Wow..... I can't even believe that.... The whole bar exploded when he hit that in. Honestly, the final score should have been like 3 or 4-0. The US couldn't finish. I'd be scared to play the USA if I were another team because they can come back from anything, but at the same time, going down early against Germany or someone like that is not ideal. Live by the sword die by the sword or so they say. The USA need to really work on not putting themselves in a do or die situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lampliter87 8 Report post Posted June 23, 2010 It's their first clean sheet in 12 games... in the England and Slovenia games their early momentum was hampered by early goals against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tro 4 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 GER vs ENG, aside from winning the tourney, GER sending home ENG would have me running around the street swinging my jersey in the air. (now if we lose, my German blood will boil and I will smash the windows on some Rovers)Congrats to the US (and I don't do that much) well deserved, I like them over Ghana, quater final run and then who knows?Man do the top S.American teams look good, I could almost put aside my GER love and hope for a Brazil/ARG final(if it matches up that way) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeyfreak7 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2010 For a new soccer fan like me, and especially being a hockey guy, watching the USA is a lot more entertaining than watching a Brazil or Portugal. Today's game seemed like a hockey game to me. Lots of chances, good rushes up the field, etc. Watching some of the powerhouse teams is like watching the pre-lockout NHL. I enjoy watching it, and having not seen much soccer, this has impressed me very much, but I feel like there are too many stifled opportunities in a scoreless tie. It's not like a 0-0 game is a goalie's duel like in hockey. It's just a defensive stranglehold. Any die hard soccer fans have any thoughts on how this World Cup compares to years past? Seems like it's been pretty unpredictable all around which is always good, certainly keeps me interested in the knock out round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it's been pretty unpredictable all around which is always good, certainly keeps me interested in the knock out round.The first rounds are always hard to predict. But so far all "favorites" have been able to make it through, except for France of course..Brazil and Argentina looks great offensively, England and Italy the total opposite. Look out for Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and Spain.I don't know if they can meet in the final, but I call Argentina and Spain to make it there if they don't play each other before.
