I'm perfectly fine with soccer, whether there are goals or not. I'm just saying the average American only sees goals as a successful play. Everything else is meaningless, perfect through balls, a well executed trap by the back line, a midfielder hauling ass to cover for a defensive winger who challenged the opposing ballhandler and got beat, a well-executed set play that may not have ended up in the net, a nutmeg here and there, repetitively using moves as a forward to set up the defender who is paired against you for an unexpected juke in the opposite direction late in the game.... These things are much more appreciated if you've played the game, and those who haven't don't know shit about it really. All the average American knows is goal or no goal.

You don't have to have played soccer to appreciate this

Fast Forward to 2:45 if you're impatient (or watch the whole thing)

That might be the best defensive play I've ever seen....

And that volley and ensuing save at around 2:00 are beautiful too....

BTM · 06-26-2010, 12:06 PM

2.5 hours till USA Ghana...at least Nadal's on to keep my interest in the mean time

infinitekidM2C · 06-26-2010, 01:52 PM

USA! USA!...........lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

06-26-2010, 02:02 PM

damn S. Korea lost..had a chance to win but I guess not. I'm all hyped up for Argentina vs. Mexico!

FStop7 · 06-26-2010, 02:26 PM

Time for the USA

ybbiz34 · 06-26-2010, 02:45 PM

We gave up an early goal again. Now I feel more comfortable about this match.

infinitekidM2C · 06-26-2010, 02:46 PM

^^ What he said..conceding an early goal is our new style

ragingclue · 06-26-2010, 03:16 PM

Fucking Altadore. Not one good touch, nor one good run into space this entire game. Looks like he smoked a pack of cigarettes and a fatty right before the match. What a waste of space out there.

infinitekidM2C · 06-26-2010, 03:25 PM

i agree take out altiBORE and put in Edson Buddle

I don't think I've ever seen a forward so guaranteed to lose in any 1v1 situation and, at the same time, so bad at finishing.... Always on his heels, and he hasn't run to space for shit this match.... 1v1, finishing, getting to space.... Aren't those pretty much the 3 things we expect every forward to excel at on this level?

ragingclue · 06-26-2010, 04:24 PM

Awesome he's out.... But for Gomez...?

ghosthi32 · 06-26-2010, 04:29 PM

damn. nice goal

iveman89 · 06-26-2010, 04:36 PM

1-2 ghana... 5 mins left

ragingclue · 06-26-2010, 04:39 PM

Our only defense this entire tournament has been when we had ball possession... They've been terrible back there.
