US Soccer

Brazil's defense did a fantastic job saving that one.

[HailtotheYo]

Definite change of pace since Dempsey has come on. We've backed 'em off a bit and are creating now. I'd be happy with a 2nd for the showing but can't be too upset if it doesn't come. I'm just glad we managed to do enough/be effective enough to change the tempo.

[HailtotheYo]

NO WAY .... wow, once again how the blue shit did we not score ? UUGGGGHHHHH

Fantastic ball through to Gomez and Raffael with a HUGE kick save on Boyd's rebound attempt. Damn.

[HailtotheYo]

I'm seriously starting to hate Raffael ... stupid great saves and stuff.

Also, screw you cross bar.

Just wow. I don't think we could buy a damn 2nd goal. It's got some voodoo on it or something. Holy crap.

[GoGo Yubari]

Sigh.

[Hobo]

I've been watching for a bit of the second half. US deserve better than being 4-1 down.

[HailtotheYo]

crap ... waste 4th goal for Brazil. Great finish though from Pato.

^ that's what I'll take away. We definitely played better than this scoreline.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Canada/US up soon, is it on TV down there?

Canada apparently wearing blue tonight for some reason.

[GoGo Yubari]

Yeah, it's on NBC Sports, which also carried US/Scotland and means that we get Arlo White calling the match which is always good.

EDIT: Oh fuck, Fabian Johnson is hurt. That's no good.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Lucky you. We get Gerry Dobson calling the match which is never good.

And really, no matter who's hurt, this should be a solid win for you guys.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Oh, we're wearing blue because this is the 100th anniversary of Canadian soccer and that's what we wore back then.

Now a special ceremony to honour our all-time best XI. Frank Yallop!

[Guest mr. potato head]

David Edgar is starting

Surely we must have a better front three than DeRo/Ricketts/Occean though

Mr Lombardo?

[GoGo Yubari]

Wow are the US bad today.

Isn't that Hoilett guy Canadian ...

And yes, my sunday league team had a better day today than the first half for the US. That was horrid.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Yeah Hoilett would really be nice, he'd at least make us clear favourites in our easy-peast WC qualifier group

Forgot we had Simeon Jackson on the bench though, he's a big improvement over Occean.

[GoGo Yubari]

EDIT: Actually nevermind.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Well that was certainly a game of soccer tonight.

[HailtotheYo]

Eh, second half was better ... and holy hell did Lars make a great save on that Gooch header at the end.

Oh, and where the fuck was Simpson ?
