Oh my.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

was the flag really up???

 

[GroveDiesel]

How do you miss that. And how do you signal offsides? Horrible

 

[Beerguzzler]

Offsides...OMG no it wasn't.

Yup that would have been the winner.

 

[The Gator]

More like donkey in the box amirite

 

[msommer]

ok, now it is crunch time

 

[sporthenry]

Yedlin quickly becoming a liability on the right side.

Taking on Eden Hazard - a lot of others have done worse

True but he looks disinterested in tracking back which is more worrying.

 

[renesauz]

wow

would have been absolutely furious if they'd waived it off for off side though

 

[Daywalker]

So the goal would not have counted?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Bradley put on a Wondo jersey?

 

[dparker713]

Wondo, really?

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Oh Wondo. Fail in the box.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Was that the Algerian ref?

 

[BobbyLayne]

5 y.o. yelling for a snack. 15 y.o. yells back "Are you out of your mind? Go back to chanting U! S!A!'"

 

[chet]

was the flag really up???

Yes--for a goal kick.

 

[Christo]

I think it would have. Darke corrected himself and said the linesman was just flagging for a goal kick.

 

[massraider]

Pretty good argument that scoreless games can be exciting.

 

[msommer]

was that a watergirl?

 

[Ned]

JFFFFFFC

My iPad somehow is still in one piece after I jumped off the sofa.

 

[Vike Me]

at least with penalty kicks we'd be guaranteed a few shots on goal, eh?

 

[Bucky86]

HOW DO YOU MISS THAT SHOT

 

[gump]

He stone-cold shanked it.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Amazing header from Jones to get it in there, especially given the complete bearhug that the defender had him in.

 

[flapgreen]

Howard is going to win this!

 

[Sinn Fein]

now think back about Bradley's shot on goal that hit the defender...

 

[dparker713]

does howard know any other words than #### and ####?

He does have Tourettes

 

[timschochet]

Is it better to play aggressive in the OT, or to play defensive and hope to go to penalty kicks?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

time to deport Wondo back to Poland

 

[sporthenry]

So bringing Wondo over Landon or EJ paid off.

 

[Jobber]

Hfs

Can't believe he missed. :(

Yedlin quickly becoming a liability on the right side.

True but he looks disinterested in tracking back which is more worrying.

And yet Yedlin is the only player creating chances to score.

 

[butcher boy]

Is there a way Howard can kick the ball directly into the goal on the other side?

 

[Sinn Fein]

My heart can't take this.

 

[ffldrew]

So bringing Wondo over Landon or EJ paid off.

I was thinking EJ would have been perfect for this game

 

[msommer]

at least with penalty kicks we'd be guaranteed a few shots on goal, eh?

As many as the other side!

Carpeted flooring but same thing happened here... Heart's still racing.

Penalty kicks are for the most part a toss up. I don't think the US can sustain another 30 minutes of this onslaught. They have to control the ball more.

 

[Henry Ford]

I just don't know if Howard can keep this up for 30 more minutes.

Tim Howard has 12 saves in this game, tying the 2nd-most in a World Cup game in the last 50 years.

pretty ho hum game for Howard, right dparker?

 

[dparker713]

No one ever really wants to go to PKs

 

[flapgreen]

What happens now?

 

[TwinTurbo]

Is it better to play aggressive in the OT, or to play defensive and hope to go to penalty kicks?

Both keepers are elite. I would not roll the dice with PKs.

Which is why I advocated for letting him get forward with less defensive responsibility.

agressive

Howard's been great, but the idea that the US has been run off the field or has had no possession or completely out chanced is ridiculous. A lot of those saves were easy from a distance. Not every save is created equal.
