Well there goes any chance I have of following USA soccer. Way to blow it

I'm sure the team is devastated.

we blew a win but lost flapgreen from the internet. tough to say which hurts more.

 

[fantasycurse42]

I might not know much about soccer, but that was a blunder that a championship team doesn't make.

who said they were a championship team?

Nobody, but isn't that the end goal for every team?

 

[timschochet]

If you had been told a week ago the USA would have 4 points after 2 games, you would take it happily right?

 

[jonessed]

I watched that Bradley play a dozen times and can't figure out how the Portugal player got it from him.

Bradley basically tripped over himself. He doesn't seem to handle pressure well.

 

[Moe.]

Where is QuizGuy? I need to know what happens if Ghana wins by 1 and we lose by 1.

 

[Christo]

Well there goes any chance I have of following USA soccer. Way to blow it

Can you take some of these guys with you?

 

[flapgreen]

I might not know much about soccer, but that was a blunder that a championship team doesn't make.

Jurgen

who's that?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I watched that Bradley play a dozen times and can't figure out how the Portugal player got it from him.

Because he's lazy.

why aren't the other players all packed back on D there anyway?

 

[JaxBill]

USA, not cheering

PORTUGAL, not cheering

so.... now what??

Vegas very happy

 

[NREC34]

Still a point. Gotta find a way to forget and move on.

I think that's the tough part. Mentally they might be screwed now.

 

[otello]

If you had been told a week ago the USA would have 4 points after 2 games, you would take it happily right?

i wasn't told that. I'm pissed.

 

[BassNBrew]

You guys stop believing yet?

 

[jon_mx]

So us and Germany just kick the ball around for 90 minutes and end 0-0????

 

[belljr]

Portugal got lucky....Portugal got lucky....

 

[GroveDiesel]

Landon Donovan wouldn't have let that happen.

 

[Abraham]

So as long as Ghana doesn't beat Portugal by a goal more than we lose to Germany, we are throigh?

 

[Ilov80s]

Well there goes any chance I have of following USA soccer. Way to blow it

Still in good shape to advance, we played great. That wasn't an easy match-up. Portugal is world class and was playing for their life.

 

[flapgreen]

They're getting better but are still years away from being good consistently.

 

[AAABatteries]

USA played great today - we were as good as they were most of the game and although I'm gutted right now this is a great sign for the future of US soccer. This wasn't a fluke result.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

A tie? WTF?

 

[NutterButter]

Bradley has been pretty shaky in WC, but regardless, great game from the US.

 

[rockaction]

To the guy who said a draw for Germany was good, this is why it's not

Yeah, even as a non-diehard, that was terrible.

Portugal draw, win on GD.

 

[Raider Nation]

USA advances with:

- Win/draw vs Germany

OR

- Loss & POR-GHA draw

OR

- Loss & win tiebreaker vs POR-GHA winner

 

[HellToupee]

its over , its all over. The chance was there and it was blown

 

[BlackMagic10]

Germany and the US will tie their game, which would put them both in the round of 16.

Bye, bye Portugal, hello Belgium!

 

[AAABatteries]

So as long as Ghana doesn't beat Portugal by a goal more than we lose to Germany, we are throigh?

Best thing for us would be a Portugal win.

 

[gianmarco]

What an absolute gut punch. You look at the overall picture and we should be absolutely thrilled. But man, it's going to be very difficult to think of what could have been.

 

[rockaction]

I watched that Bradley play a dozen times and can't figure out how the Portugal player got it from him.

Because he's lazy.

why aren't the other players all packed back on D there anyway?

Jurgen was waving them back when they were down by the flag with 94 off the clock. No kidding. DVR it.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

So as long as Ghana doesn't beat Portugal by a goal more than we lose to Germany, we are throigh?

Best thing for us would be a Portugal win.

Best thing for us would be a Portugal draw, but Portugal win is much better than Ghana win.

 

[flapgreen]

Well there goes any chance I have of following USA soccer. Way to blow it

Still in good shape to advance, we played great. That wasn't an easy match-up. Portugal is world class and was playing for their life.

They had it won. That's like giving up a grand slam with one out and one strike left to win by a run.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

tough to come back from that one, but Ghana and Portugal each have 1 point and the US has 4. will probably come down to GD.

 

[Paulymaggs]

Still in good shape to advance, we played great. That wasn't an easy match-up. Portugal is world class and was playing for their life.

They are the worst team in this whole group since CR7 is gimpy.

 

[fred_1_15301]

Un####ing real but we are still in good shape

 

[jon_mx]

So as long as Ghana doesn't beat Portugal by a goal more than we lose to Germany, we are throigh?

No, only if we lose to Germany by a goal in that case. And it still depends on the total points.

 

[NutterButter]

It would've been nice to get some of our guys some rest.

 

[HellToupee]

now son of a #####in Klinnsman is complaining about Germany's locations , come on

 

[Moe.]

So as long as Ghana doesn't beat Portugal by a goal more than we lose to Germany, we are throigh?

Best thing for us would be a Portugal win.

No, the best thing for us in that matchup is a draw.

[TwinTurbo]

To the guy who said a draw for Germany was good, this is why it's not

I said it and was right. You want to finish first in the group which they were one more Bradley turnover away from potentially achieving. And they still control their own destiny.

The second place team in this group is going to lose to Belgium, unless its Germany.

 

[Worm]

Bradley has been pretty shaky in WC, but regardless, great game from the US.

pretty shaky? PRETTY SHAKY?!?!?

 

[flapgreen]

Alright, I'll jump back on the bandwagon if they make it to the next round. USA!!!

 

[timschochet]

Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, and Pele beat the Germans. No reason this team can't.

 

[jonessed]

tough to come back from that one, but Ghana and Portugal each have 1 point and the US has 4. will probably come down to GD.

I think Ghana is going to tear Portugal apart.

 

[GoFishTN]

So we can draw with Germany 1-1 (wink, wink) and go through?

 

[jon_mx]

tough to come back from that one, but Ghana and Portugal each have 1 point and the US has 4. will probably come down to GD.

So hopefully Portugal can beat Ghana.....That 4 goal lose to Germany is going to be a killer for them.

ETA: of course the tie wraps it up completely

 

[Paulymaggs]

USA advances with:

- Win/draw vs Germany

OR

- Loss & POR-GHA draw

OR

- Loss & win tiebreaker vs POR-GHA winner

Portugese are done. There's no way they are making up a four goal differential with a gimpy CR7

 

[jonessed]

Bradley has been pretty shaky in WC, but regardless, great game from the US.

pretty shaky? PRETTY SHAKY?!?!?

He has been downright awful. I don't know what the deal is.

 

[Stinger Ray]

Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine, and Pele beat the Germans. No reason this team can't.

Just shut up for once

 

[NutterButter]

Bradley has been pretty shaky in WC, but regardless, great game from the US.

pretty shaky? PRETTY SHAKY?!?!?

He was a lot better tonight. Hard to be any worse.

 

[AAABatteries]

We were one minute and a big what-if draw with Germany from playing Algeria for a quarter-final berth. #gettingaheadofmyself #whatcouldhavebeen #####ronaldo
