USA vs. Slovenia thread

[MannyIsGod]

:(

[symple19]

Slovenia is outplaying us in every fucking aspect. They definitely deserve props, no question.

Look for 9 back the rest of the game, no way we get two goals...no fucking way

[Whisky Dog]

I'm cursed this year. Longhorns football - blow the championship game cause the QB gets injured in the 1st quarter. Longhorns basketball - biggest choke job in NCAA history to go from #1 ranked team in January to almost missing the tourney and being first round exit fodder for a shitty Wake team. Cowboys football - let 2101 yr old Favre shit all over them in playoff game. 2010 WC - Spainish biggest choke job, can't score a goal with 200 chances against one of the shittiest of shit teams leading to one of the biggest WC upsets, and USA pathetic showing getting worked by a 3rd world country.

Oh, and Spurs swept by the Suns. The fucking Suns. I'm turning off my tv til 2011 if this shit keeps up.

[Libri]

Our patience is fucking horrible. Enough of this long ball tactics shit. Need to work the build up play. Finally had some good pressure late but then gave up that killer counter attack. FUCK.

I'm still wondering why they keep making those long passes to Findley. That's a crappy game plan.

[Spurologist]

I understand why Bradley did it, but I still wish Ching was in there and not Findley.

In any event, at this point we need to fucking score and then we can talk about a draw or whether we're going to pray for an Algerian miracle.




I can't believe Landon missed that shit. Fuck.

was that shot cleared? I don't think he missed it

[symple19]

Is it too late for FF's mandatory "lol USA football" post??

dude, your sig is hilarious

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Is it too late for FF's mandatory "lol USA football" post??

is it ever?

[Pero]

The status of one of my FB friends:

The USA team called Chuck Norris to help in today's match, but he and his Delta Team landed in Slovakia.

:lol

[IronMexican]

Just woke up. Has Slovenia dominated? What a clutch country. Sasha with the FT's and the Soccer team about to qualify.

[Muki]

:corn:

[MannyIsGod]

was that shot cleared? I don't think he missed it

Pretty sure no one touched it and he just fucked up.




Why do Slovenians keep ruining my sports life?

[symple19]

playing long ball is an ongoing malady for the US team, and has been since I can remember, especially when they get flustered

[xellos88330]

Agreed, they are making way too many long passes. That is always a good way to lose posession.

[Sense]

:dramaquee

[easy7]

The USA needs for Beno to start on the second half. :hat

[MannyIsGod]

Its what they do. Complaining about the USA long pass is like complaining about the Spurs posting up Tim.

If Findley is still in in the 2nd half then you can expect that strat to continue. If he brings in Edson or Hercules then I think it will change.

[Sense]

Pretty sure no one touched it and he just fucked up.




Why do Slovenians keep ruining my sports life?

If you're talking about the chance Donovan had... it was cleared... It wasn't a miss.. the defender beat him to the punch

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Pretty sure no one touched it and he just fucked up.




Why do Slovenians keep ruining my sports life?

Breco touched it. Give Donovan some credit :lol that ball was in had it not been cleared

[symple19]

There is no way in hell that Coach Bradley had long balls to Findley as a central strategy. It has more to do with inept, lazy midfield play than anything else.

No build-up, no patience = long balls

[symple19]

wow, gooch just got nutmegged...

[Cry Havoc]

Damn, good attacking runs early by the US. Maybe we can get a quick goal and make it interesting.

[MannyIsGod]

He moved Clint forward. Not terrible I guess. Would rather see Gomez in. I suspect he'll be the 3rd sub, though.

[MannyIsGod]

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[ElNono]

Yes!

[Muser]

Just woke up. Has Slovenia dominated? What a clutch country. Sasha with the FT's and the Soccer team about to qualify.

You missed one of the best goals of the tournament




Daaaaammnn good goal by Donovan!

[symple19]

Landon motherfuckers!!!

[Spurologist]

Goal!!!!!!!!!!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Donovan on the scoreboard

[MannyIsGod]

yes fucking EARLY

[Cry Havoc]

GOAL!!!!!!!!

And FUCK I missed it because I had to go into the next room.

[IronMexican]

Great shot

[Cry Havoc]

GOAL!!!!!!!!

And FUCK I missed it because I had to go into the next room.

[symple19]

Brilliant!!!!

Magnificent!!!!

yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Muser]

Wtf was the GK doing? :lol

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:lmao WTF the goalie jumped away :lmao Give me a fucking break

[MannyIsGod]

YES man - thats why he's the best US player of all time.

[Pero]

LOL if our goalkeeper hadn't moved his head back it wouldn't have been a goal. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

LOL Keepr wanted to protect his face. ROFL

[symple19]

Keeper had no clue, I think he was expecting a cross and not a shot

[Sense]

:lmao WTF the goalie jumped away :lmao Give me a fucking break

:lmao he flinched... but an even worse mistake was the defender who missed the ball completely.

[Whisky Dog]

Fucking finally, the keeper didn't even want to contest that one:lol

overrated Donovan finally does something besides choke. With that quick of a score not over yet.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

If the keeper grew some balls, there is not way that ball goes in. That goal was on the keeper.

[MannyIsGod]

fuck I thought gooch had that. FUCK man.

[Muser]

I keep thinking that guy with the beard is Tim Duncan for some reason.

[Sense]

If the keeper grew some balls, there is not way that ball goes in. That goal was on the keeper.

lmao... he's becoming more of a puss as the game goes on... he's scared.

[lefty]

Yes !


Donivan !



Tie this shit up please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[symple19]

The service on set-pieces from Slovenia have been top-notch

[Whisky Dog]

Why do Slovenians keep going to the ground crying?

WTF is up with spraying chemicals on someone every time they cry on the ground? Hurt knee? Spray chemicals. Shit to the head? Spray chemicals. Hit in the balls? Spray chemicals. Do they hire 3rd world country witch doctors to provide the medical care at WCs?

[ffadicted]

lol the way the goal keeper went for that save reminded me of Julio's failed attempt to stop Kim Jon Ill's minion in our first game

[ElNono]

Wtf?

[symple19]

Where's the fucking call?

[MannyIsGod]

Ok.

where

the

[Cry Havoc]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?!?

How is that not a foul!?

[Muser]

Great recovery.

Only watched second half so far, but USA D looks bad.

Only 3 at the back now. They will have to play better

WTF JOZY :wtf

Wrestled to the floor, rofl.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL thats a foul on Dempsey? Beno's fucking brother tackled him.

[Muser]

Beno's fucking brother tackled him.

Slovenia makes me hold my breath on every set piece.

[symple19]

Slovenia makes me hold my breath on every set piece.

agreed, they've been impressive for the most part

[MannyIsGod]

Ok seriously - this tackling is ridiculous - some cards better start flying.

[ElNono]

lol ref is a joke

[IronMexican]

My uncle just told me Germany loost


lol germany.

[ffadicted]

tbh, ngl, I'm almost cheering for USA right now, mostly cuz Donovan is so funny

[Spurologist]

US has let up on their energy......less route 1 long balling :tu

[Cry Havoc]

Every 50/50 call going for Slovenia. Kind of ridiculous.

[TimmehC]

Where the F is this ref from?

[MannyIsGod]

@$_()@*%(@$h%@)io%j@pi%iu

[symple19]

Red!

[Muser]

This could be dangerous.

[Cry Havoc]

YES! Yellow right on the edge of the area!

[symple19]

at least a card came out...fuck

golden opportunity here, let's convert

[MannyIsGod]

oh please oh oplease oh please oh please oh lplease

[Muser]

Altidore is a beast.

[MannyIsGod]

fuck nice save fuck fuck fuck

[symple19]

outstanding save there

[MannyIsGod]

Straight at him, easy save.

[MannyIsGod]

LOL shot looked way better on the first angle.

[symple19]

Card!

[MannyIsGod]

Team Yello

[Muser]

Slovenia playing dirty

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, how was that not a red? Horrible tackle.

[MannyIsGod]

I wish Green played for Slovenia. We'd be winning.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah the fouls are getting over the top.

[Muser]

I wish Green played for Slovenia. We'd be winning.

Altidore would be on a hat trick.

[MannyIsGod]

In my amateur american biased opnion anyway.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Wow, how was that not a red? Horrible tackle.

Jesus, not every hard tackle deserves a red. Relax

[MannyIsGod]

This ref is a fucking joke.

[Spurologist]

:lol

Gooch was over the line on the throw in

[MannyIsGod]

Jesus, not every hard tackle deserves a red. Relax

No but apparently he hates Jozy.

[symple19]

what foul? ref is horrendous

[Muser]

Both refs have been shitty today, hope tonights is good.

[Spurologist]

The whole Slovenian team is on a yellow

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Yeah the fouls are getting over the top.

No red card deserving fouls so far IMO. A buttload of yellows though

[Muser]

God dammit Slovenia are hacking this shit out of America.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

God dammit Slovenia are hacking this shit out of America.

which will eventually lead to a red no doubt

[symple19]

try passing the ball on the ground toward the front instead of lobbing it in over and over again

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Ok, Slovene's starting to dive just for the hell of it now

[MannyIsGod]

Slovenia takes down an American every chance they fucking get.

[Muser]

Wtf was that rofl

[Cry Havoc]

ALTIDORE. COME ON.

We need PATIENCE!

[Muser]

Why are Slovenia in such a hurry to get down the other end? Keep possesion you dumbasses.

[symple19]

stop with goddamn long balls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

c'mon Gomez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh

[MannyIsGod]

Gomez coming in for a defender I guess. Yeah for Gooch.

Look at the bright side...


There's still another half to be played....

Maybe the US can turn it on.

Okay Slovenia, please don't choke anymore you fuckers. Keep it at 2-2.

[Bukefal]

man, that was no offside :wow

[Sense]

USA got robbed of a win

[symple19]

atrocious!!!!

this goddamn game is rigged against the US, no doubt about it

[Libri]

Bs

[DAF86]

Thank you Ref!!!

Why do you want Slovenia to win or draw?

[Cry Havoc]

This ref should never officiate another game.

The handball yellow and the offside there have literally been unreal.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Ref called offside?? how the fuck was that offside? :lmao USA getting screwed

[Whisky Dog]

Fuck you crooked ref!!! We fucking won this game and you robbed us!!! Get a rope!!!

[Muser]

Slovenia going for it.

[IronMexican]

Worst call of the WC

[MannyIsGod]

Wow - i'm so angry right now. I mean wtf

[symple19]

rigged rigged rigged rigged rigged

[Spurologist]

I just lost my heart

[lefty]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEs 2-2

[Libri]

This ref should never officiate another game.

The handball yellow and the offside there have literally been unreal.

He might be sent home but the damage was done.

[Muser]

Why do you want Slovenia to win or draw?

I want England to get the 1 spot, which means we don't play Germany in the next round. (Yeah I think Germany still wins the group)

England win both of their next games and these draw or Slovenia win = 1 spot.

[symple19]

should be lot's of stoppage time due to crying, flailing, dirty slovenians writhing about on the ground

[Sense]

Who called what?

I think it was called a foul, because the stupid referee called it.

[Cry Havoc]

Hey, FIFA. Want to know why your World Cup has been SHIT for so many years in America?

THAT'S why.

Fuck you.

You fucked the Germans and now you're hosing the US because your officials are fucking INCOMPETENT.

[lefty]

Coulibaly is reffing ?



I confirm : he sucks

[DAF86]

Anything other than an US win is a fucking injustice.

[symple19]

absolute fucking bullshit... I will personally slaughter that refs entire family tree if someone will pay my airfare

[Muser]

There were 3 different penalties that the USA could of gotten from that play aswell as the goal, god knows what the ref saw.

[Sense]

They called a foul on Edu??


All I saw on the replay was like 5 Americans getting hugged... and Bradley getting held and pulled...


Worst call of the tournment

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Hey, FIFA. Want to know why your World Cup has been SHIT for so many years in America?

THAT'S why.

Fuck you.

You fucked the Germans and now you're hosing the US because your officials are fucking INCOMPETENT.

You sure like your melodrama. Yeah, the US should've won. Yes the ref screwed up. However, the overall officiating in this cup has been a lot better than previous world cups. You're just pissed because this time it happened to you.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Ok, this has easily been the worst reffed game of the world cup so far. Complete injustice done to the USA.

[Spurologist]

Ouch....Dempsey falls face first

[Muser]

Dempsey thinks he is playing for Slovenia.

[MannyIsGod]

Fuck man. That was basicaly the goal to get them out of group. I mean they still have a hell of a shot with a draw but with a win it was almost impossible to stop.

Fuck this ref

[Spurologist]

I'm so fucking pissed

[MaNuMaNiAc]

man, Altidore is pissed! and with good reason

[Cry Havoc]

You sure like your melodrama. Yeah, the US should've won. Yes the ref screwed up. However, the overall officiating in this cup has been a lot better than previous world cups. You're just pissed because this time it happened to you.

And what about the Germany game?

Two matches in a row that the official, not the players, have determined the outcome of.

[JudynTX]

:tu Still proud of the USA team.

[velik_m]

Oh well, we have such crappy defenders...

[Bukefal]

Nice game. But, that should have been a goal, it was no offside.

[MannyIsGod]

Enjoy your uneared one fucking point Slovenia. Hope Kharma scores 8 goals for England against your ass.

[symple19]

what?!!!!! no foul there either?


I'm exhausted and I've lost my voice

Slovenia deserves nothing...After playing a great first half and first ten minutes (of the second) the Slovenian side has devolved into a bunch of dirty, lazy, flailing pieces of shit.

I would be embarrassed if I was a Slovenian. The performance over the last 30 minutes was one of the worst I've seen in recent memory by any side at any level.

[Cry Havoc]

You sure like your melodrama. Yeah, the US should've won. Yes the ref screwed up. However, the overall officiating in this cup has been a lot better than previous world cups. You're just pissed because this time it happened to you.


Ok, this has easily been the worst reffed game of the world cup so far. Complete injustice done to the USA.

:wow

[Pero]

what?!!!!! no foul there either?

Your player stepped on the ball.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

And what about the Germany game?

Two matches in a row that the official, not the players, have determined the outcome of.

Germany missed a fucking penalty. The loss wasn't completely on the ref. I saw the game, the officiating wasn't nearly as bad as this one.

[MannyIsGod]

BTW, very fucking proud of the way this team fought back. They keep fucking themselves with stupid early goals but they grow stronger as the match goes on.

I expect a full on ass kicking of Algeria, but first GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ALGERIA

[symple19]

And the ref.... I can't believe this shit

The entire world knows the US won that game

[Whisky Dog]

If FIFA had any balls and integrity the ref would be fired on the spot and the result overturned to a USA win, but they have less balls than Bud Selig and less integrity than David Stern. Slovenia committed at least two fouls on the box on the goal an the US did nothing. The video proof is there.

[redzero]

This game was homosex.

The refs were homosex.

WE WAS ROBBED!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

:wow

What? I'm talking about this world cup. I'm not blind, I can see when a team gets robbed. Germany wasn't robbed, not really. The US was.

[Kamnik]

I wish there was a slovenian nearby that I could punch in the face

I see you never met an European sports fan...

Unfortunately, I think the Brits are going to be angry and crush them

But who the hell knows, the way this WC is going

[Kamnik]

Its not about balls, its about not setting precedent. Same thing with the France vs Ireland game. Thierry's hand was obvious on video, but nothing can be done once the game is over. It just doesn't work that way.

A good idea would be to start using video replay for very questionable plays.

[DAF86]

USA losses 2-2

[MannyIsGod]

Slovenia was robbed already in the first minute when the american player should get a yellow card...

Don't even fucking try to say shit like this. Take your unearned point and just STFU. You didn't earn shit today and your dirty fucking team only drew because of their 12 player.

Yep, talk like that is what sports organizations hide behind to keep their influence. If the calls and decisions were forced to be overturned then the organization would no longer have the power at their descretion to influence the outcomes through officiating. The games would have to actually be fair at that point, and God knows we can't have that.

[Kamnik]

Don't even fucking try to say shit like this. Take your unearned point and just STFU. You didn't earn shit today and your dirty fucking team only drew because of their 12 player.

There was like 5 elbows to the head from american players that went without even a yellow card!!!

If England win their last 2 games AND US beats Algeria, US and England are through.

Likely scenario IMO.

Proud of the US team :tu

[Ozzy]

Oh, cut the crap. US players have been going into every fucking jump with their elbows first. It is not our fault that the referee had enough of it exactly at the wrong moment and cleared a completely regular goal.

He fucked us at the end of the first half also. Slovenia had a clear 4 on 2 counter attack and he whistled end of half time. I guees you missed that ...

[IceColdBrewski]

And people wonder why most Americans hate Soccer.

Great ball by Landon, great ball by Jozy, Great finish.

:lmao

Your players were the ones playing dirty, not ours. Get lost. Our challenges were fair and on the ball, yours were sloppy and from behind.

That play at the half's end was NOT a 4 on 2. It was a pretty standard buildup with good position in the center of the field.

But hey, I guess in your eyes a ball called dead at the kickoff circle is equal to a goal. :lol I thought you Europeans were supposed to know a little something about futbol?

[Dinamita]

First USA Spanks England 1-1
Then they completely destroy Slovenia!! 2-2!!

[symple19]

And people wonder why most Americans hate Soccer.

despite dirty Slovenian players and the worst ref in the history of the world, that was one of the most dramatic and entertaining sporting matches I've ever seen.

So if you're going to start ripping soccer now, go fuck yourself

If they advance I'll man up and do it but it will be complete bullshit.

[Cry Havoc]

If people just look at 1 possesion to determine how the game was reffed they know nothing about sports.

REF LET AMERICAN PLAYERS PLAY WITH ELBOWS THE WHOLE FUCKING GAME WHILE OUR PLAYERS GOT YELLOW CARDS FOR WAY SMALLER FOULS!!!

Here's a little something about futbol you might want to know:

If a player takes down another player from behind without getting the ball, he's going to be booked.

If he gets a good piece of the ball, he probably won't even be called for a foul.

I know that's hard to comprehend, but it's the way the game works.

Nice try though. Your team made sloppy tackles and deserved to lose.

USA losses 2-2

[Kamnik]

Ah, so now the population of a country is directly related to how biased an official might be?

:lmao

Hilarious.

Exactly.

IT IS IN DIRECT INTEREST OF FIFA FOR AMERICANS TO ADVANCE!

And FIFA can make officials to loose a job.

Yep, talk like that is what sports organizations hide behind to keep their influence. If the calls and decisions were forced to be overturned then the organization would no longer have the power at their descretion to influence the outcomes through officiating. The games would have to actually be fair at that point, and God knows we can't have that.

Bullshit, what would happen then is the outcome of games with controvertial calls wouldn't be decided until days or even weeks after the games ended with every team complaining they deserve the outcome overturned because of every fucking technicallity. You either catch the call as it happens or you don't. OR you make it so that the ref has access to video so he ALWAYS catches wrong calls at the time they happen. Then it leaves no doubt.

Changing game results after the fact just doesn't work, no matter how much butthurt fans of teams screwed like to bitch about it. Trust me, I know, I've been on the bitching end of this argument many a time.

[Spurologist]

:lol Lots of butthurt in this thread...

You guys should concentrate on your next game and not dwell on the past.

You better clean yourself off after wetting your pants when you saw the Edu shot go in.

First USA Spanks England 1-1

:lmao:lmao

[symple19]

What I want to know is, why (or how) did slovenia go from being a very respectable, highly capable opponent, to being a travesty in soccer uniforms?

I was fully prepared to give props to them for much of the game. But now all I wish is ill upon them.

Garbage. The entire slovenian team and their managers belong in a dumpster, along with that fucking ref.

[MannyIsGod]

I don't have a problem with FIFA not changing the results. I mean if anything Ireland has way more of a beef with this. The game changes as a result of one play and you can't go back and wipe out that one play and then act as if the rest of the game would have been the same.


Fuck the ref. Thats all. Fuck the Ref.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Exactly.

IT IS IN DIRECT INTEREST OF FIFA FOR AMERICANS TO ADVANCE!

And FIFA can make officials to loose a job.

:lmao @ anyone that thinks this was a rigged game. It was just another case of a ref being careless and not paying close enough attention. Its a case of bad reffing, not international conspiracy. Conspiracy therosits are so fucking lame.

[resistanze]

Had to attend a seminar and missed the entire second half. I fucking hate you all.

[Stringer_Bell]

The ref made questionable calls on both sides the whole game. Other than the game-winning goal, I think giving the yellow card to that one player (Finley) that knocks him out of the next game was overboard and harsh. It didn't need a yellow card.

Great heart though, hope Algeria wins against England and then we beat Algeria!

[xellos88330]

Man. The USA decided to show up the second half. Completely made me forget about the first half. It is a shame that the go ahead goal was waived. It would have capped an improbable comeback.
