USA vs. GHANA - Round of 16

[lefty]

Altidore has done a complete 360 from last game.
You meant 180?

[SpursTillTheEnd]

ay if this goes into penalty kicks can subs take the shots or just the people who played?

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Fuck it, Altidore!

[tlongII]

How does Altidore miss that!

[resistanze]

Why the fuck is Altidore falling down?

[DPG21920]

Josey. So close.

[Libri]

:bang

[Sense]

lmao altidore committed the foul...

[SpursTillTheEnd]

man fuck altidore fucking play buddle godamn wtf who the fuck said altidore was strong

[Warlord23]

That's Altidore in a nutshell ... he brings physicality at the cost of skill

[Sportstudi]

You meant 180?

:lol

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Man, Dempsey's been flopping HARD all game for that free kick lol

[Spurologist]

You meant 180?

:lol

or 720 for more magnitude

[resistanze]

God damn Dempsey is a flopper.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

do yall see what im saying altidore sucks

[Sense]

Who's this idiot in Univision saying that it's a penalty kick? After watching the reviews over and over.... Clearly showing that Altidore shoved him away.

[DPG21920]

Hit. This. Clint.

[lefty]

God damn Dempsey is a flopper.
His legal name is Dempserossi

[tlongII]

Shitty free kick by Dempsey.

[DPG21920]

Damn it. Wasted opportunity.

[Sense]

God damn Dempsey is a flopper.

So far I've seen him flop like 3-4 times...


Bradley shouldn't have said shit.

[Spurologist]

God damn Dempsey is a flopper.

he's the pioneer of US flopping

[DPG21920]

Phew...decent chance for GHA right there.

[Sense]

Rumor that Ochoa might start tomorrow? :)

[Sportstudi]

he's the pioneer of US flopping

and probably had a couple of lessons with some italians.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

wow altidore gives it away again are you fucking kidding me

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Ghana ain't gonna lay down easy.

[lefty]

Donovan is dating that chicks from Rules of Engagement?



But....





..... how?

[boston.balla]

ghana coach is rubbish .. they gotta change formation.

great work by the us in the second half .. that's more like it.

[Sense]

Donovan is dating that chicks from Rules of Engagement?



But....





..... how?

He was married to one but got separated in 09

[resistanze]

ghana coach is rubbish .. they gotta change formation.

I've said that the Serbian coach sucks ass.

[lefty]

He was married to one but got separated in 09
Ah ok


But still...

[SpursTillTheEnd]

lefty who can take the pk if it goes that far can players who havent played yet take the penalty kicks?

[boston.balla]

if this goes to penalties us win.

[Sense]

if this goes to penalties us win.

Why do you say that?


Kingson is playing great.

[lefty]

Ayew


WTF was that

[resistanze]

HE TRIPPED OVER HIS OWN FEET. Jesus.

[boston.balla]

lmao altidore

[Sense]

Then again... Ghana has the choke face indeed.

[Spurologist]

that's not a foul

[DPG21920]

Not a card.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Not a foul at all

[Ghazi]

I cannot stand this sport.

[boston.balla]

Why do you say that?


Kingson is playing great.

penalties are lost not saved. Usa got more confidence.

[boston.balla]

on reviewing that shoulda been a yellow for altidore it was a blatant dive.

[DPG21920]

Last chance of regulation. Clear. It. Out.

[resistanze]

i cannot stand this sport.

wgaf.

[DPG21920]

Extra time. I will take it at this point. Great job USA. Make it happen.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

More phewage from USA lol

[Sportstudi]

Overtime.

[eyeh8u]

boooooooooooooooo

[DarkReign]

Crazy game.

[boston.balla]

it will be interesting to see who has more stamina ..

[Borosai]

Not going to penalties.

[DesignatedT]

We got this!!

USA!!!!!

[SpursTillTheEnd]

comeon play buddle altidore trippin on his own feet and shit

[Whisky Dog]

Feilhaber with a beautiful 2nd half, US had good chances to take the lead. Exciting.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Alright boys, it's OT!

[IronMexican]

USA showing they're inner Italy today. Pathetic flopping.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

pls go to penalties :lol

I thought for sure the USA was going to get 1 or 2 more in the 2nd half. It was nice to see Ghana get done by a penalty kick, just like they did to Serbia/Australia (at least USA deserved their free kick :lol )

[Spurologist]

Bradley has made perfect substitutions. He will likely use his last substitution to take out Altidore for Buddle/Gomez

[resistanze]

USA showing they're inner Italy today. Pathetic flopping.

Altidore and Dempsey are POS.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Whoop! Camp Leatherneck :D

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

is the US coach going to criticize his players after for flopping? :lmao

[ffadicted]

The US's fall will ultimately be their useless forwards....

[DPG21920]

The subs for USA were great. Gomez for Josey?

[SpursTillTheEnd]

wtf man i fucking hate this coach what the play buddle fuck go usa

[resistanze]

pls go to penalties :lol

I thought for sure the USA was going to get 1 or 2 more in the 2nd half. It was nice to see Ghana get done by a penalty kick, just like they did to Serbia/Australia (at least USA deserved their free kick :lol )
You're still whining about an Aussie handball to block a goal.

[Spurologist]

USA showing they're inner Italy today. Pathetic flopping.

It has been no where near that level....it has been all Dempsey and some Donovan. Every team has their floppers

[velik_m]

Close game. I like it :tu

[Sense]

How do you not call that blatant hand ball?

[ElNono]

Is it sudden death goal or not this time?

[resistanze]

GOAL!!!! FUCKINGN Yah!!!

[lefty]

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

[IronMexican]

no sudden death

[Sense]

Individual play has killed the US

[Spurologist]

Is it sudden death goal or not this time?

Full 30 minutes of play. Who ever leads, wins.

[ElNono]

Fuck

[tlongII]

Fuck

[eyeh8u]

alot of nfl players must have some ghananian blood, celebrations are almost identical

[ElNono]

#3 is looking up in the air... Idiot

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Long time to go. USA still got this

[SpursTillTheEnd]

see bradley u suck we lost now cuz u aint play buddle

[ffadicted]

looooool

[IronMexican]

I was neutral but all that flopping pushed me towards Ghana.

[DesignatedT]

Wow

[Sense]

US has a chance.... Ghana needs to slow down and control the ball, they haven't done that all game.

[lefty]

Game not over yet



Dont give up, American fans

[DPG21920]

Did USA think this was a new game so they could give up an early goal in the first half?

[DPG21920]

USA have to open this up. They have to push. So damn close. Damn!!!!!!!!!

[resistanze]

Here comes the US push.

[Sense]

Ghana's best players are getting injured.

[eyeh8u]

ghana is losing players left and right

[DPG21920]

Get one here boys. I feel it.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

:lmao you guys see this?

http://www.smh.com.au/world-cup-2010/world-cup-news/fifa-acknowledges-problems-with-jabulani-ball-20100626-zb6u.html


FIFA has finally acknowledged that there may be something wrong with the Jabulani World Cup ball, but won't act on the problem until after the tournament

anyway, back to the game

[DPG21920]

So close.

[boston.balla]

LOOL offside .. jeez that's a bad call.

[Spurologist]

US clearly lacks finishers. Midfield can't score every game

[boston.balla]

bradley looks like a nazi.

[SpursTillTheEnd]

well i will never watch soccer again until 2014 fuck u bradley u piece of shit coach pce out

[DJ Mbenga]

the US chokes on every game.

[DPG21920]

How is that a foul?

[Spurologist]

Ghana flopping and professional time wasting

:lmao

ghana is the ones flopping now........

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

what the hell was that Donovan?

[Libri]

US clearly lacks finishers. Midfield can't score every game

Yup, forwards has been one of their deficiencies.

[ffadicted]

come on US, I wanna see a goddamn shootout

[The Reckoning]

dempsey is the biggest poon out there. awwww i got touched...too bad hes from nacogdoches

[Spurologist]

Donovan invisible again to start the half (extra time)

[txallstar]

usa lacks speed, and their defense blows, offense is just mediocre you have to wonder how they made it this far

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

Landon Donovan is wildly overrated because he's so good in the US. He's a smart player but he can't beat people 1 on 1 consistently.

He's barely a top 50 player in the world

[Spurologist]

Edu might be my favorite US player

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Why doesn't Bradley play that Biddle fella that scored 2 against Australia b4 the World Cup?

[DPG21920]

Only +1 minute? Their celebration on the goal was 2 minutes long, not to mention the injuries?

[lefty]

lol G20

[DPG21920]

That is terrible by the ref. Terrible.

[boston.balla]

ghana is askin for it with such stupid passes ... one nigga can only think so much!

[resistanze]

Stop showing the god damned G20.

[DPG21920]

I can't believe that garbage clearance turned into a goal.

[Whisky Dog]

Damn looks like we might be fucked. No legs left.

[Sense]

dempsey is the biggest poon out there. awwww i got touched...too bad hes from nacogdoches

He is? haha I'm like 15 mins from there.


He's giving the Ghana players a pissed off look... pushing them around n shit... it's funny

[lefty]

Stop showing the god damned G20.
That CBC anchor is everywhere

Does he sleep in their studios or what?

[boston.balla]

That is terrible by the ref. Terrible.

there should be no extra minutes at half in extra time. Never .. i mean NEVER have i seen more than one .. and i've seen quite a few.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

Where is Robert Green when you need him?

[DJ Mbenga]

altidore was all hype

[resistanze]

That CBC anchor is everywhere

Does he sleep in their studios or what?

:lol

[boston.balla]

that's a clear yellow.

[Spurologist]

was Appiah even touched?

[DesignatedT]

lol whos the moron talking about usa flopping. ive seen like 4 clear flops from ghana just in extra time.

[DPG21920]

This ref is bull shitting. He is letting them just waste time. Throw out cards.

[eyeh8u]

every commentator on espn is a bitch

[Whisky Dog]

Props to the Ghana kid for hustling after that ball, but that's the only way that team of weak skill on shots will score - if you f up and gift wrap it. Too bad.

[DPG21920]

Lets Go USA. Lets go.

[Sense]

WTF? He should've given him a yellow card on that last flop

[Spurologist]

go for goal Donovan!

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

good call

Come on USA
!!

[boston.balla]

ghana aerial defense has been ZERO all night long.

[DPG21920]

Shit! Get a shot on goal there you puss.

[lefty]

every commentator on espn is a bitch
I remember before the Algeria-England game, Lalas kept saying Rooney and Co. would destroy us

Then after the game, Lalas bitched for 2 minutes, then they quickly switched to bass fishing

[Libri]

If only Charlie Davies was playing.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

lol clear path to the Semis

[DPG21920]

That is some weak stuff by Landon. You have to shoot that.

[Spurologist]

US needs to play with 3 at the back now. It's now or never

[Spurologist]

Fuck me

[TheProfessor]

[boston.balla]

ha ah ha @ ref letting usa play and the ######s not

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Get the fuck up!

[DPG21920]

That is a damn card.

[DesignatedT]

wow. LMAO talking about USA flopping, fucking idiot. look at this show ghana is putting on. fucking embarassing

[Sense]

How do these players keep getting injured?

[Spurologist]

there hasn't been this much flopping since Michael Phelps at the olympics

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

:lmao this is why i hate soccer

[DPG21920]

If there is not at least 3 minutes of extra time that is a travesty.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

If Ghana wins, it will make me even more mad coz they don't deserve to even be in the 16. Damn it, Australia could have beaten the USA tonight :lol

come on USA!

[TheProfessor]

:lol This is shameful. Not that I can blame Ghana, it's on the ref to put a start to this shit early before it gets out of control.

[DJ Mbenga]

seein how effective that "injury" was i see why paul pierce pulls this all the time

[LoneStarState'sPride]

This is why I fucking can't stand to watch soccer sometimes.

[ffadicted]

lmao wow fucking shameful by Ghana, but tbh the US are d-o-n-e.
Now we watch as "soccer" goes back to being irrelevant for another 4 years in the states :lol

[Libri]

If there is not at least 3 minutes of extra time that is a travesty.

There should.

[Sense]

wow. LMAO talking about USA flopping, fucking idiot. look at this show ghana is putting on. fucking embarassing

No one is saying that the USA is out flopping Ghana...

But after Bradley calls out other players for doing so... it definitely puts a magnifying glass on them..

And they have flopped.

[Bukefal]

Come on usaaa

[DPG21920]

Corner Kick. Get something on goal. Give yourself a chance.

[NuGGeTs-FaN]

People have to understand that Ghana is the only African team left in a World Cup that is being held on the African continent. They are going to get all the help they want.

[ffadicted]

Also though, I find it hilarious that the US have had 120 minutes to take this game and accomplished pretty much nothing, and they're complaining about having an extra 2 or 3 minutes as if they have a chance :lol

[DPG21920]

The final ball has been so bad for the USA. So sad.

[resistanze]

Yes, but not nearly as egregiously as this--it's a travesty (and not because the US is the victims of it this time around)

[Spurologist]

For those complaining about time (including me), it is up to the referee to add on whatever amount he wants to make sure 90 minutes are played

3 minutes is not nearly enough for all the time wasting

[txallstar]

if only usa could defend like that and once again the disappearance of the stars on the team when it matters just like 2006 when donavan played like a bitch

[DPG21920]

Damn, good effort.

[DPG21920]

Please. someone.

FUUUCK!! The ball just doesn't want to go in!!!

well, good run gentlemen

stop giving up shitty goals, USA, and maybe we could have won

[lefty]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

[DJ Mbenga]

lol ghana owns us. sad

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Just not in the cards.

[DPG21920]

USA's defense has been shaky at best. Ghana is young and fast and create opportunities. USA has to defend very well this game. USA should get some good chances and hopefully they put some away.

I hope they have enough gas.

Pretty much.

[Bukefal]

It's a shame. They had a pretty solid team this time, with potential. :depressed

Still, props to the team, they fought. Donovan, Howard, Dempsey :clap

[velik_m]

Well, the better team won.

Props to Ghana :tu

[BruceBowenFan]

Im proud of team usa, they played there heart out.

[Whisky Dog]

Fuck Ghana, hope Uruguay sends them back to their shanties.

[resistanze]

Good game! Good freaking game.

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Unfortunately, I don't think the US will have another chance quite like this one to advance past the quarterfinals. They got an easy group, and an even easier knockout stage bracket. They're going to have bust their ass next time. More so than they did this WC.

Either way, congrats on a very good WC campaign. No shame in going home in the knockout stage when you play with this much heart.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Playing like shit the first half of every game then trying to come back =/= let's be happy about our effort

Hey, most football pundits thought USA was relatively easy pickings coming into this thing--got every right to be proud of the effort.

[DJ Mbenga]

hopefully south america continues to rape african countries

[IronMexican]

Yea. Cameroon-American.

Must have sucked to watch everyone besides Eto completely suck for you guys. Well, he was the only one to play good the entire tourney for them.

Uraguay is a heavy favorite but Ghana could get the upset

[eyeh8u]

was that drew bres with the america bandana

[DJ Mbenga]

i think this loss will set back the US 12 years

[Marklar MM]

Fire Bradley please. Keep him far far away

[ElNono]

It was a good game. Good effort. Unfortunately it looks like the US always have one more defensive fuckup up their sleeves. Eventually, you run out of miraculous comebacks.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

:lol

There is a reason why nobody cares about soccer here.

WE SUCK!

yeah sure we played with heart but that only goes along way when you dont have any talent

[MannyIsGod]

I'm proud of this team. First and foremost I'm extremely proud of this team. They faced a hell of a lot of adversity throughout the entire cup and eventually they came up dry when trying to combat it but that doesn't mean they didn't fight very hard and show a hell of a lot of resilience.

Obviously I'd prefer for them to win today, but I think they started with a sub par lineup and they got beat by a couple of individual plays that were excellent - especially the 2nd goal - but I don't think they need to hang their heads in any way.

I don't know if it will catch on more here in the US but I suspsect any gains by the MLS will be small but noticeable but really I am happy with the effort put forth and the atmosphere at the places I went to were amazing. (FREEETAIL SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP) Its coming along and thats good enough for me.

In the end, the haters are gona hate and are gonna remind us how we don't have any world class players and how we suck but those are the same people who told us we'd not score and rooney would walk all over us and that we'd still be in the group stage.

Fucki the haters because they were wrong.

I love US soccer and can't wait for 2014 - you bitches better not pray we don't get 2018 because if you thought the vuvuzelas were obnoxious you have no idea what 100,000s of drunk US fans will sound like. We'll wreck you.

DON'T TREAD ON THIS, BITCHES.

[DPG21920]

The next step for the USA is to get a world class coach. Once they do that, they will be able to make the jump to the next level.

[ElNono]

:lol

There is a reason why nobody cares about soccer here.

WE SUCK!

That US team didn't suck... Ask France or Italy what is to suck... they just met their match...

[LoneStarState'sPride]

i think this loss will set back the US 12 years

I disagree--I've never seen the depth of coverage of a World Cup that I've seen this year. Soccer is here by a toehold, but here to stay.

That said, I think for the long-term future, it'll be consigned to an olympic-like status for American viewers. Something to get into fervently while it's ongoing, but not a year-in/year-out mainstay. Our domestic sports are just too popular and afford far more favorable notoriety at home.

[DPG21920]

Very good showing overall for the USA. Can't complain. Very disappointed right now, but happy looking back.

[Spurologist]

Must have sucked to watch everyone besides Eto completely suck for you guys. Well, he was the only one to play good the entire tourney for them.

yea....im just glad i don't punch walls like i used to :bang:lol

It was all on the coach.....he never know what the best lineup was and he seemed unprepared for every match. We have too many defensive midfielders and he didn't even play the best one....SONG :bang

We didn't even qualify 4 four years ago because of a missed penalty so it's a small step up. Eto'o is a primadonna but he always shows heart on the field.....at least we're not France :lol

[ElNono]

Anyways... back to baseball....







:lol

[scottspurs]

This sucks, but they improved upon last world cup. If they can improve again next world cup and get to the quarters then soccer in America is definitely on the right track. Only problem is Donovan will be 32. In the next 4 years some youngsters are gonna have to step up.

[txallstar]

luck with the pk other wise this game was over in regulation

[Bukefal]

The next step for the USA is to get a world class coach. Once they do that, they will be able to make the jump to the next level.

USA should try to get Guus Hiddink for the next World Cup! :king I think that would be a perfect combination.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Anyways... back to baseball....







:lol

NASCAR for me :lol

[Spurologist]

For US Soccer to improve IMO, they need a coach with a technical pedigree. US has to be able to move the ball around better and generate possession....that most likely means a european/south american coach. Edu has played brilliantly and Bradley puts in Clark after realizing he has made a mistake....that's stubborn-ness. In the process, Bradley has killed Clark's confidence. It's time for a new coach to come in but I doubt that will happen. These mistakes would be punished by another other country's federation
