As if being French wasnt punishment enough?

After they cheated their way in, you expected more?

They got lucky then. I hear there were 14 000 people on a facebook page who wanted them to walk.

So how is USA looking? I've got the ESPN GameCast going.

Alright. Had a scare earlier when Algeria hit the crossbar, but the US had a couple really good chances, and had a goal taken back on a close, but probably correct offside call.

 

[HAB]

They've been shooting very freely, which has lead to a couple of really horrific misses, but some good opportunities too. Aside from the one Algerian near goal, they've had a pretty good lock on things defensively.

 

[HAB]

Altadore just missed a wide open net. Per the announcer "It's not the worst miss we've seen in this World Cup, but it's certainly in the top 10."

 

[JohnE]

...knee OVER the ball Altidore. OVER the ball...although I think he was expecting Donovan to take it.

They've been replaying the goal, and it was a totally blown call. Exactly even with the defender..........

If the US doesn't make it due to *another* blown call, I'm giving up on this World Cup. Maybe FIFA can get their sh!t together for 2014.

Epic fail. Advantage attacker. Even so...replay showed Dempsey was clearly even.

 

[HAB]

It looked to me like he was half a step in, but I didn't get to see it from a very good angle. I'm watching some super ghetto pirated stream right now because I can't get to a TV and don't have ESPN 3.

[IH8Rice]

jebus, that ball does not want to go in for the U.S.

 

[HAB]

Jeeeesuuus. How the FVCK did they not score there?

 

[I Are Baboon]

Dear America: Please score a goal. k thx

 

[MMcG]

If we tie and England Wins - are we done? Would it be England and Slovenia advancing?

 

[I Are Baboon]

yes and yes

 

[HAB]

If we tie and England Wins - are we done? Would it be England and Slovenia advancing?

Yes. If both games tie, we're done unless the England game is tied at a score 3 (or is it 2?) or more greater than the one at which the US game is tied. So basically we have to win this.

 

[MMcG]

I fear we are doomed.

 

[MMcG]

If we don't advance - Bradley get the axe right?

It'll be a HUGE setback to US soccer if we don't advance.

 

[IH8Rice]

Gooaaallllllllllllllll

 

[jonKranked]

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!

oh yea!

 

[I Are Baboon]

Holy sh!t.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Boo. Yah.

 

[MMcG]

Donovan! Wow! He's having a helluva good World Cup.

Now just hold on guys!!

 

[jimmydean]

Finally!!! Dempsey with another chance and Landon backs him up. Awesome

 

[IH8Rice]

It'll be a HUGE setback to US soccer if we don't advance.

why? we've sucked every other year. what would make this different if we didnt win?

 

[MMcG]

Final!

Wow!

 

[MMcG]

why? we've sucked every other year. what would make this different if we didnt win?

The key word is advance out of the group. This was the weakest group we've ever been in I think - so to not get out of such a weak group would have been an epic fail. See where I'm going with this?
