Go post this exact message in the World Cup thread without first reading the OP of either this thread or that one.

My apologies. I can't believe I missed it. Awesome OP by the way.

 

[scorcho]

any reason Bradley the elder started Clark? he wasn't as terrible as he was vs. Turkey, but still. the only thing i can think of was a bit of duplicity for the (hopeful) Edu-Bradley pairing against England.

yeah ESPN, we don't need a breakdown of the first half, just mindless masturbatory pieces and a horrible U2 song.

Howard --> Hahnemann

Good to see Hahnemann in there over Guzan...

 

[daoster]

i REALLY hope Findley's confidence won't be shot with all the misses he's had today

Altidore better be ready to go by next week...

 

[Heretic]

I was hoping to see Hercules play today

 

[scorcho]

Findley isn't looking impressive today.

 

[shoplifter]

GOOCH

 

[daoster]

Remember when Gooch looked clean?

Shave that shit man!

Same, there's still 30 minutes to play though.

Hahaha

EDIT:

Freaking Hymen! Stay on your line!

 

[AstroLad]

do they turn down the crowd volume to lessen the effect of the vuvuzelas? b/c i can barely hear any cheers ever even after the goals

 

[shoplifter]

The pitch is a mess. I can see why they don't want to train there.

 

[daoster]

Goddamn, Australia, please don't kill Dempsey

 

[xbhaskarx]

Hahnemann has looked quite bad, but the sun is just ridiculous right now.

 

[AstroLad]

why would you even keep dempsey out after the first challenge really. no need. especially after the second one where they are clearly going after him for whatever reason

 

[scorcho]

Findley as a change of pace impact super happy sub confirmed.

wow. that was a horrible first touch/trap attempt by Demps

 

[sneakypete]

Too bad Findley can't pass for shit. :/

 

[AstroLad]

well i guess it's a good skill to develop to be able to win ugly games where you're playing like crap

 

[scorcho]

oh Findley. that dive :lol

 

[Mr Cola]

Its the English way, learn from us

 

[daoster]

Was that a Mexican fan I just saw??? Get him! :lol

[daoster]

Uh oh...injury proned Beasley...

 

[xbhaskarx]

No wonder the Aussies were complaining.


The pitch can't be this bad in the actual stadiums, can it?

 

[daoster]

FINDLEY, HELL NO, PLEASE NO

 

[scorcho]

The pitch can't be this bad in the actual stadiums, can it?

hopefully not.

well gee, like that isn't the perfect summation of Findley's day.

edit: what the hell Findley?!?!

 

[methodman]

Yikes. Terrible shot lol

 

[xbhaskarx]

HERC!!

 

[methodman]

Great pass by donovan. Woot

 

[AstroLad]

last goal even. still a fairly ugly game but a win is a win. as harkes said it's very important to get at least a point out of this. and getting 3 points going into the match vs. england is really great no matter how they did it

 

[shoplifter]

HERC~!

 

[daoster]

Good job Gomez, super SUB!

But really, I must repeat, Findley, confidence, etc., etc,

 

[scorcho]

Donavon has been nothing short of perfect these past few matches. The second half was spotty for the US, but walking out with a win should be good enough.

 

[Heretic]

Thats my boy!

 

[daoster]

Good game for the USA, it should build a lot of confidence for next week's game.

BRING ON ENGLAND, THE YANKS ARE COMING, history's about to REPEAT~!

What's up with these points for friendlies? 3 points for a friendly that means nothing once the WC starts?

I assumed John Harkes was just saying whatever retarded shit came to mind, like always.

Ah yeah. Can't fuckin wait. I'm going on a vacation to Napa Valley (Wine Tasting) from San Jose, but I got my iPhone + Justin.TV app lol. Hopefully we get there at half or before.

 

[scorcho]

there's no points at all. Harkes is a dolt.

 

[sneakypete]

:lol Thought so, thanks for the clarification. I've been up all night.

 

[Beowulf28]

Bring it England your balls are gonna be ours!

Donovan has been great in Everton, then LA, and the last few with the US team. This is really his time to shine, hopefully he takes full advantage of it.

In terms of the second half, I hate to make excuses but the sun dropped down low into their eyes, something the Aussies didn't have to deal with in the first half. Plus that's not a problem in a proper stadium.

Harkes is on my brain's ignore list.

I was just in Napa last weekend.

 

[methodman]

I was just in Napa last weekend.

Yea I love it out there. You go wine tasting?

 

[scorcho]

Harkes thought he was calling an MLS game. but still, this is an improvement over the audio abortion that was given to the US audience during the 2006 WC and 2008 Euros.

foreign coverage was the reason why i spent nearly $200 going to bars filled with smelly lunatics in 06.

Nah, I don't drink, my cousin is in St. Helena.

Well it's certainly not in the OP of this very thread, that would be far too convenient.

 

[AstroLad]

This is cool that they put on lots of soccer programming after the game. Fat Americans hoping for bowling must be blowing their brains out right now, after writing letters to the editor. Can't wait for next week.
