USA lineup:

USA lineup: Howard; Spector, DeMerit, Onyewu, Bocanegra; Jones, Bradley, Edu; Dempsey, Donovan; Altidore

Is Donovan playing up top or is he in the midfield?

 

[xbhaskarx]

Looks like LD in midfield, with five midfielders.
4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1
Anyways it's more likely that they would move Dempsey up.

 

[sazabirules]

I can't wait for the match to start. I might miss some of it but I'll watch what I miss on ESPN3 since it will be archived.

 

[Pre]

Please God don't let our defense get smoked by that little Hobbit.

 

[daoster]

if we're gonna get smoked by anybody, it'd be the hobbit.

And it'll be beautiful.

 

[daoster]

I think that's one of the few time I've seen a crowd that big and the U.S. anthem louder than he foreign country (where the foreign country is a Latin American one)

classy, "konnichiwa bitches!" during the moment of silence

 

[FuturusX]

Classy minute of silence....not so much.

Smart move to have the game in NJ rather than Soldier Field or somewhere else.

That was disgusting.

 

[yellow submarine]

Konichiva bitches.

Smh.

Truly not enough facepalms in existence for that.

 

[FuturusX]

This pitch is an utter embarrassment. Shocking.

 

[daoster]

Nice and easy for Howard.

As expected, Argentina has been having posession, but Dempsey had a good run earlier.

 

[sazabirules]

This pitch is an utter embarrassment. Shocking.

Didn't it get inches of snow on it earlier this week?

 

[daoster]

And Gooch...

 

[daoster]

Some scary moments for the USA, good block by Spector.

 

[Pre]

We're having trouble piecing together possession, but I expected that going in. Defense needs to tighten up, though.

 

[Crisis]

Spector moved up too soon but he did make a nice stop.

 

[daoster]

Yeap...same old same old problems.

 

[NoRéN]

Yeap...same old same old problems.

By now, they shouldn't be considered problems. They're characteristics.

 

[daoster]

DAmn, we can't even clear the ball properly.

 

[Crisis]

How many times is Donovan going to get yanked off the ball before the referee calls something?

 

[NoRéN]

How many times is Donovan going to get yanked off the ball before the referee calls something?

Until he retaliates and gets carded.

 

[sazabirules]

Nice handball.

 

[Crisis]

Handball. WTF.

 

[hom3land]

You would think the US is 2 men down at the rate the game is going.

Good news: 20 minutes in and we haven't been scored on yet!

 

[NoRéN]

It's like the Australian kid bully video. Right now were watching our kid get pushed around. It's painfully to watch. But we have to hang in there. We have to wait for the powerbomb.

 

[Crisis]

I might have carded him for that.

 

[DominoKid]

Yeap...same old same old problems.

they arent problems. its just our style at this point.

 

[sazabirules]

Messi get up. If you injured yourself that was all your fault.

 

[NoRéN]

I don't think onyewu realizes he was headbutted by messi.

 

[daoster]

Did they just chant "Who the fuck is Messi" on live TV?

 

[Crisis]

I don't think onyewu realizes he was headbutted by messi.

"I don't know, man. Some fucking hobbit jumped on me. "

 

[Crisis]

Man we got a fucking break on that!

 

[daoster]

Nice play by Argentina, but thankfully nothing came out of it.

 

[daoster]

Again, lucky for us,

 

[Crisis]

I'd like to point out that Michael Bradley took the ball three times right there.

 

[Crisis]

That referee is a god damn fucking moron.

 

[daoster]

First good run for the US in a loong time.

 

[daoster]

Tim Howard stopping Messi.

 

[Crisis]

Tim FUCKING Howard.

 

[sazabirules]

At least we're getting a few chances now.

 

[NoRéN]

Gotta love the incredulous looks on do Maria and messi every time Howard denies them.

 

[Crisis]

God damn it.

 

[daoster]

And....1-0 Argentina.

 

[NoRéN]

T.T

 

[sefskillz]

damn that messi pass right through bocanegra's legs
