re: USA 1 vs. Italy 3, FINAL

That should have been a PK.

referees need to be held more accountable for their actions


that was not a red in the first half. yellow, frick yes, thats not a red though, he already started his tackle, he got beat, and he followed through, theres nothing he could have done to stop it

difference in blatantly mexico-ing someone and what clark did

and it determined this outcome. we outplayed italy in the first half easily

+1

We got fricked. There's no other way to put it. Yes, that was a yellow, but no way in hell should it have been a red. But still, one play, in any sport, should never have as big of an impact on a game like it does in soccer.

If a red is given, the players should be ejected. Then, there should be a 15-20 minute penalty, similar to a power play in hockey kind of. Then, another player should be able to sub back in making it 11v11 again. Soccer is so fricking stupid when shite like this happens. Italy in no way, shape, or form deserves to get 3 points out of this.

He was expected to start, and I'm not saying the dude is all world, but he's 22 years old and has a rocket. And maybe 15 is a little underexaggerated. But it gets annoying when people say how much we suck blah blah blah because we're losing 2-1 to the last World Cup champions...even though we're down 11 v 10...it's just fricking annoying when people watch two qualifying games and think they're experts cuz they know the players names on our team.

We drew them 1-1 in 06 playing down 9-10

It was 1-1.

my initial comments were about our absolute lack of scorers and shooters

adu is probably our best striker of the ball and he never fricking plays. michael fricking bradley may be our #1

and then after that we have NOTHING fron distance unless you want to count landon "4 of 5 times i miss the goal by 10 yards" donnovan

I don't know if SFP has said a positive thing about this team ever...of course, i don't think he's said a positive thing about anyone

Score?
Time?

2-1 Italy, 88th minute

Well, I completely agree with taht

And I think it more has to do with Bradley being an idiot...why put in Sacha over Adu?

Even though Sacha almost had a great goal, but still
