June 5, 201015 yr Buddle looked very good while Findley came back to reality. Dont know why the Dempsey goal was taken away but Findley should have finished that ball prior. Findley really blew two easy chances. We should have scored atleast 4 goals today.
June 5, 201015 yr Only just saw the last 2 mins of the match. Pretty much showed that if we leak more than 1 goal, we're screwed. Very good result for the US though, and it'll give them a lot of confidence ahead of the England match.
June 5, 201015 yr Just ordered my US Home Jozy Altidore #17 jersey! Hopefully it gets here in time for Saturday!
June 5, 201015 yr Serbia up 4-2 on Cameroon at half. Interesting match to say the least. Attack looks great, defense was shaky in the beginning, giving up 2 early header goals but they settled down nicely without Vidic. Serbia ends up wining 4-3. Also looks like Arjen Robben might have gotten hurt in their 6-1 friendly win today. Said he felt a sharp pain in his left hamstring.

Findley was good at positioning himself and setting up others, but his finishing was dreadful. Missed 2 sitters. Gomez screwed up a 2 on 0. They really should have scored more. 1st half was spectacular for the US, but they were only up a goal. 2nd half was Australia on the attack with US countering and they won that half by a goal. Weird game sometimes, but overall a very good performance.

June 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (Nokona @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 02:13 AM) Gomez has scored twice in 20 minutes. God damnit Bob get him out there. I think Herc's role is perfect as it is right now. Perfect sub to come in around the 70 minute mark if the score is tied or we're down by a goal.
June 8, 201015 yr Author What the hell is going on with injuries to big name players this tournament? Now Nani is hurt and declared out for Portugal
June 9, 201015 yr Spain beat Poland today 6:0, and they looked absolutely awesome doing so, look for them to do some damage this summer!
June 9, 201015 yr Anyone heard the Shout World Cup Anthem by Dizzee Rascal and James Cordon? It's awful, and it's been on non-stop here in the UK.
June 10, 201015 yr It all starts tomorrow, not sure if I should watch the opening game or be at the Hawks parade, then you have Sox - Cubs. What a day tomorrow is going to be. Any predictions on tomorrow? South Africa - Mexico Uruguay - France
June 10, 201015 yr I can't wait. Super Regionals also start for all baseball fans out there. Could you imagine if Game 7 actually happened tomorrow night too (I'm glad it's not though)?

What a day tomorrow is going to be. Any predictions on tomorrow? South Africa - Mexico Uruguay - France I'm saying both games in 1-1 draws. So excited tomorrow. I got to run and replace the brand new tire I bought last weekend for my car by 730 so I can be home in time for the WC opener. Then the other game along with Super Regionals starting. Then the Miami game at 7. Then if there is time, catch the Sox-Cubs highlights on MLB Network. I hope to gain 5 pounds this weekend with all the sports on tv.

Also think Mexico will squeak past a very spirited South Africa team 2-1 Uruguay 1-0 Mexico
June 10, 201015 yr South Africa and France both to win, the latter easily. As for the tournament, I'm going with Spain.
June 11, 201015 yr Mexico 1 South Africa 1 France 2 Uruguay 0 I'm predicting Messi will lead Argentina to their third WC win and my wife and her family will be very happy campers.
June 11, 201015 yr I think overall its hard to bet against Spain or Brazil. Argentina. Dutch also have good squads. If I was betting Id go with Brazil, Spain always seems to fail. As for tomorrow, France 2-0, Mexico 2-1
June 11, 201015 yr QUOTE (Nokona @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 12:02 AM) Mandela's grand daughter has been killed in a car crash following the concert. That's terrible, she was only 13 years old.

If Van Persie gets back to his early season form for Arsenal and Robben is 100% healthy, I could easily see them win it all.

Ya but ESPN put it brilliantly; the Dutch are the Buffalo Bills of International soccer. They will never win anything.
