The best play of the tourney for the US!!! Excellent pass by Landon and smooth finish by Bradley.

One more boys!

 

[Moe.]

Sweet, we go this

 

[eagles2007]

where the hell did this come from?

 

[Native]

Just said it on TV - 2nd tiebreaker after goal differential is goals. One more for the US would give us 4 vs only 3 for Italy.

 

[bentley]

Friggin' no call on the handball. Between that and Jozy sucking, this could be even greater.

 

[Genedoc]

Well, we're not playing down a man, which helps. And based on the lick down Brazil is putting on Italy today, it may be that Brazil is just that good right now.

 

[Native]

Benny coming in for Jozy.

 

[Big Rocks]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[prefontaine]

ZOMG!

 

[bentley]

GREAT ####### MOVE BRINGING DEMPSEY FORWARD

 

[Genedoc]

H......F.......S.....

 

[Native]

WOOOOOOT!

 

[Genedoc]

For the love of all that is holy, do NOT drop back into a shell and coast. Push for #4.

 

[TLEF316]

#### YEAH BABY!!!

 

[Christo]

 

[prefontaine]

btw, they can talk about Dempsey all day on that one (and it was a nice finish no doubt) but that was all from a beautiful cross by Spector.

 

[Moe.]

Yes. Still want Bradley fired Z?

 

[Big Rocks]

Please don't mess up Brazil and give up a goal.

 

[Native]

Italy just missed a golden opportunity - Brazillian goalkeeper out of goal for 10+ secs....

Both guys deserve credit. Classy cross by Spector and a very difficult finish by Dempsey.

 

[Texas Football]

Wow! Bring on Spain!

Still want Bradley gone though.

 

[LHUCKS]

Yep, Italy has been playing better as Brazil is coasting a bit...about 14 more minutes...hopefully Brazil's defense holds up.Can't f'ing believe we scored three goals against Egypt...sucks I can't see it.

 

[LHUCKS]

10 more minutes in the Italy/Brazil match...Italians with posession.

Rossi firing rockets all second half...kid has got a leg on him.

Traitorous ####er will probably score the goal that knocks us out.

 

[LHUCKS]

wow, just when the media starting going after Bradley, we come back with an effort like this...amazing.

 

[bentley]

Who woulda thunk that goals scored is something that might end up in our favor after those first two disasters?

 

[LHUCKS]

one minute plus stoppage time...looking good for the US

I've got it at 87 minutes. TV run faster in the western US?

 

[Genedoc]

Dodged another Rossi fired bullet in the Brazil game. 3 stoppage minutes to go.

 

[LHUCKS]

whew...de Rossi missing wide right from about 30...too close.

 

[bentley]

Oof. I forgot that the reward was playing Spain.

Wow. Just wow.

 

[bentley]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Native]

Unbelievable!

 

[Desert_Power]

Whoa

 

[Big Rocks]

Sweet! 2 more games!

 

[QuizGuy66]

Estados Uniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidos!!!!



What a crazy way to go through. More importantly this gives us another game or two against credible competition. Egypt showed why they are struggling to qualify for 2010 today apparently.

[thesurfshop19]

Amazing.

 

[LHUCKS]

Playing against top notch competition is the best way to get better...huge for our confidence too.

Is bocanegra out for sure?

 

[Genedoc]

As frustrated as this board was the other day after the US got owned by Brazil, imagine how #@#@$ the Italians are today. Getting owned by the Brazilians AND getting leapfrogged by the USA.

Rossi! Enjoy watching the semis from your couch traitor!-QG

 

[Mjolnirs]

I'm stunned. Very happy, yet stunned.

Looks like they play a third place game; so no matter what, we get Spain on Wednesday and either Brazil or South Africa on Sunday.

Curious if you were thinking we could beat Spain (thus getting Brazil) or RSA beating Brazil. Either way :(
