US v Algeria

HT ENG 1-0
US 0-0

 

I'm following the BBC's online play by play and whoever is watching the U.S. - Algeria game is an idiot. They said Algeria looked better all the way through the first half. And no real comment on the disallowed goal. What?

U.S. should be on 7 points right now to England's 5 and Slovenia's 4.

 

What a turnaround...from elimination to group winner in one great rush. From Howard's save to the great runs by DMB, Clint and Landon, it was beautiful to watch that goal.

We've overcome the worst officiating of the tournament to place first in our group. The boys showed tremendous grit. I'm ecstatic right now.

 

The ONLY bigger idiots than the FFC offal and BBC 606...

 

Donovan my brother, what a clutch, clutch goal. If you haven't already, you just sealed your fate in US Soccer lore as a legend. I started tearing my beard out when they pulled out Demps goal. Nearly lost my mind. Then totally lost it when LD calmly placed that bad boy in the net.

A very deserved win today and absolutley deserve to sit atop the group. WELL DONE!

 

Wow. WOW! WOW!!!!!!!!


Hell Yeah!!!!!!!

 

We got through... and in first (so no looming Argentina match -- although we may get Germany).

 

Someone on the BS said "Never again refer to him as 'Landycakes'.

Most of us knew that from his Everton stint.

----------------------------
Shoutout to Bob Bradley.

None of his subs came a cropper. He certainly knows who's doing what at the moment far better than we do on past observation.

I questioned Bornstein. Gave us no faulting. Gomez looked decent but BB didnt waste time waiting.

Then when he put in Beas.. I almost had a fit. But BB was right. It certainly didnt hurt.

I despair a little over Buddle's gun-spooky tries but it caused the ALG Defense to become disorganized and that helped our chances.

 

Today is the day I seriously considered never calling him Cakes again.....but I still might.

When are we going to start highlighting and emphasizing more the "USA" part of FulhamUSA this World Cup??

Still photo of Cakes,..whoops, Landon scoring with Clint laid out in the background? Then it will have a Fulham angle.

 

10-4, good shout, especially on Buddle. No direct effect, but lots of indirect influence. Which, all things considered, the influence of African-American strikers that stretch the field and concern the competition can begin to be emphasized. Is it a racial thing for the opposition? At least for now, I'd say probably yes. Ching doesn't seem to have the same effect.

 

No, there's no looming match with Argentina, as long as we're dreaming of the Quarter Finals. Instead, we would probably get Uruguay, and Diego Forlan.

I hate Diego Forlan.

 

I like Diego Forlan, but I could easily feel animosity and wish ill for him for 90 minutes plus.

Still, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Go DEUTSCHLAND! If we face them, would rather it be in the Final.

What do I do with the "Landycakes" shirt I have?

USA! USA! USA! :banana: :banana: :banana:

 

Agree with all, Don. And yet still, DeMerit must suffer in purgatory at Watford. When will that guy get the respect he desrves. Perhaps now.

Ghana 0 - 1 Germany

Your wife has a great sense of humour, HD.

 

Collectors item!

Hattermom's wit is top shelf.

And, I still don't believe what happened.

:banana:

 

DeMerit was a force, what a time to have that great a game. Really, I don't think anyone had less than a 6 or 7 today. Donovan (obviously), Dempsey, and Altidore topped the list.

Watched the game at Claddagh in Cleveland, with a pretty nice crowd, all of whom were suffering for 90 minutes. They place went nuts when Dempsey scored, and was called off, and I think we made the local news when Donovan scored. My gosh, I think my nerves are still shot.

Howard was a beast offensively -- I remember two long throws that started attacks, incluiding the goal. Oh yeah, he was a force between the sticks too (and he better have kissed the crossbar.)

Bring on Ghana!!

U-S-A!! U-S-A!!
