Orange slices for everyone!

I laughed.

Water break, sponsored by Home Depot. Soccer really has made it to America.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

why not take a water break on a throw-in or foul or corner or some stoppage in play? these announcers can't question anything?

 

[Sand]

So is the referee related to Ed Hochuli?

 

[otello]

Lucky there

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

killed US momentum with that stupid water break

FIFA prison.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Great save by Howard.

 

[Sand]

Oh, hell.

 

[jonessed]

Not a good spot.

 

[ffldrew]

Hold that thought for a sec

 

[mr roboto]

I'm not a soccer fan usually, don't know a ton about tactics and such, but can someone tell me if I'm crazy? It seems like US has been outplaying Portugal (save the terrible turnover that led to that goal).

Commentator called it

 

[otello]

It's good!

 

[Sand]

Oh, hell.

Edit: Nothing to worry about. He never hits those.

Jones came down weird after that header and was just standing there not playing, I think the ref motioned his way when he blew the whistle.

Jones was standing still favoring his knee for a sec. Glad for the stoppage tbh.

I'd joke too if I'd never played sports in these conditions

 

[General Malaise]

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

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

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

Is this copy/pasted from the Romo thread?

US had advantage imo.

Yes, but hard to know if it's not in large part due to Portugal sitting back after that early goal, much like the US last game.

After the goal Portugal started playing the counter. I think it's been pretty even.

 

[otello]

Oh boy

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Is this copy/pasted from the Romo thread?

you're really comparing the two? seriously?

 

[GoFishTN]

Wow!

 

[dickey moe]

Holy ####

 

[mr roboto]

Wow - Howard.

 

[QuizGuy66]

That is why Howard is World Class

-QG

 

[Sand]

We seem to be missing some driving runs. We want to pass through them rather than taking some runs at them.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Phew.

 

[Native]

My lord!

 

[General Malaise]

Jesus

 

[The Gator]

Jesus Howard

 

[JaxBill]

Looking forward to the theatrics of second half Portuguese diving

 

[FreeBaGeL]

2 minutes

 

[dickey moe]

Wouldve been a dagger right before the half.

 

[joffer]

Is Bradley awake?

 

[fantasycurse42]

I know little about this, but 2-0 is game over, right?

 

[gianmarco]

Only 2 minutes? The water break took 2 minutes.

 

[Sand]

Pretty much.

 

[otello]

Boom

 

[tjnc09]

-QG

If the first kick is an inch to the left, he misses the goal by a billion feet. Not really impressive.

 

[QuizGuy66]

My impression is Portugal watched Italy-England is wary of getting gassed. They are trying to have us expend more enerfy. It' strategic IMO.

-QG

 

[ffldrew]

So who comes in for Cameron?

 

[flapgreen]

Water breaks?

 

[jonessed]

Only 2 minutes? The water break took 2 minutes.

Should have been four or five.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Would pretty much take the win out of the picture.

Isn't JK's shtick having a team that is more fit than the opponents?

European players have also played a lot more games than most American players so that hopefully helps us.

 

[bierfiend]

well. aside for the defensive lapse, they played some decent soccer

 

[Sinn Fein]

How long was the water break?
