Come on guys. Make the keeper work for it. Keep the ball down.

 

[Pumpnick]

usa strategy - shoot as high as possible

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Decent high pressure.

 

[jon_mx]

Zuzi hasn't looked good. Hopefully he can pick it up.

He is hustling...just not getting results.

 

[bierfiend]

Great chance!!

 

[jon_mx]

Zusi should have shot.

 

[QuizGuy66]

We really look better in the last 15 minutes than we did in pretty much all of the Ghana game.

-QG

 

[General Malaise]

Zusi should have shot.

Poor left foot syndrome? Seems to be our downfall.

 

[otello]

Close again

 

[General Malaise]

The net boys....aim for the net.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Is Bradley related to Tony Romo?

he looks good to me. what didn't you like?

 

[The Gator]

Beto has a post soccer career lined up as a movie double

[bierfiend]

doh!

 

[QuizGuy66]

usa strategy - shoot as high as possible

Now we shot one low. Next one will be just right

-QG

 

[ffldrew]

Bradley gets a solid foot on that and it's in the net

 

[Jobber]

The US team should practice shooting drills once in a while.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

I hope we score a goal on this goalie pulling his hands back and judging it wrong.

Portugal isn't pressing as hard.

 

[The Gator]

Crowd is more pro Ronaldo than I thought it would be

 

[The General]

Ronaldo's face has a very punchable quality to it.

The passing to the wrong jersey?

Portugal isn't pressing as hard.

True. It's like the inverse of our first game. Hopefully the result is not the inverse.

[bierfiend]

damn

 

[Jobber]

Huh. Another miss.

 

[ffldrew]

There is room and space

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Is Bradley related to Tony Romo?

he looks good to me. what didn't you like?

The passing to the wrong jersey?

oh. well, other than that I guess he looks pretty strong today

 

[jonessed]

The check to Bradley could have drawn another card. This ref is letting a lot go.

 

[dickey moe]

Down 0-1 yet completely outplaying these guys.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Sigh. Lots of great chances. That's the big plus. But kind of disheartening to not connect on one of those yet.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Yeah, that seemed pretty dirty.

 

[Moe.]

goal comin yo

 

[Sand]

Finishing has to get better. We're not even giving their goalie a chance to look bad.

 

[QuizGuy66]

The check to Bradley could have drawn another card. This ref is letting a lot go.

Seems to be a theme this tournament based on some of the physical games with African sides.

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Bradley has committed two turnovers. Both were excellent ideas that didn't pan out. Playmakers are going to turn the ball over.

 

[General Malaise]

The passing to the wrong jersey?

oh. well, other than that I guess he looks pretty strong today

He had played better than last game. But his passing has been off target in key spots.

 

[JaxBill]

Hope they keep giving up chances like Fabian Johnson's shot

 

[GroveDiesel]

Man, touch pass there would have given the US a 1 on 1.

 

[gianmarco]

After a very shaky start, this is some quality work by the US.

I think he's been on the money during most plays. Disagree.

 

[Native]

Its gonna happen.

 

[QuizGuy66]

I do think Portugal is trying to conserve energy here. Be nice if we can make 'em pay for it before the half.

-QG

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

If the US plays this well for the next hour they've got a great chance of getting a result here. They're slicing the Portuguese defence apart right now.

 

[ffldrew]

Put J Jones in the Jozy spot - that looked good

 

[Native]

Why is Portugal giving us so much space? We are not strong on the ball yet theyre basically conceding possession in their half. Were gonna break through soon.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

wtf? water break when the US had the ball there?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Orange slices for everyone!

 

[TLEF316]

We're playing well other than 2 seconds

 

[QuizGuy66]

Crap. Jones. And was about to comment he's been by favorite player. Good time for a gator-break.

Eta - good he's back in.

[Aaron Rudnicki]

5 minutes til half time. come on.
