Team USA v Croatia Game Blog

[MannyIsGod]

WTF? Where are you people? Good Summer basketball is on and no one cares?

[MannyIsGod]

USA looks like they still have another gear to go to.

[Spurs Brazil]

USA up 22-20 after one

[Texas_Ranger]

USA sucks.

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah yeah yeah. We'll see who sucks tomorrow.

[velik_m]

Croatia looking good, USA still doesn't know how to play against the zone.


Yeah yeah yeah. We'll see who sucks tomorrow.

We already know our team sucks...

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

[Kobayagi]

Yeah yeah yeah. We'll see who sucks tomorrow.


Yup, we know we suck, however, you obviously think you have a good team.

[MannyIsGod]

We have the best team in the world. If thats not good well then I guess no one is good. Durant alone makes this team better than any other.

Yes, but then having Odom at 5 puts you back into "beatable" category.

[Kobayagi]

We have the best team in the world.

No, you have the best individual players in the world. Even though you are missing the superfriends from Miami this year.

[Texas_Ranger]

Yeah yeah yeah. We'll see who sucks tomorrow.

Your county's got about 300.000.000 people and we have 2000000 people. Wow, you're better?? No shit.
Your basketball team sucks just as bad as your soccer team sucks.

And, yea we know we suck.

[MannyIsGod]

:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah:blah

We have the best team and the best individual players.

The soccer team that beat you 3-2?

Man, why do Slovenians go to the population card so fast? You're either good or your not, no need to make up excuses.

Wasn't it 2-2??

Because when your best players say that they won't play you still've got like 50 good options, but when our best players say goodbye we are screwed.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

What channel is this game on?

[MannyIsGod]

Sucks for you. All I hear you saying is that we're deeper. Maybe you should complain to your players about that.

And as far as I'm concerned, we scored 3 good goals in that game and until someone shows me what Edu did wrong to have his goal waved off, it counts.

[MannyIsGod]

Kurt its on one of the ESPN channels I'm sure. I'm watching it online on ESPN3.com

[quentin_compson]

Not the best of starts for the US, but they are in control of this game right now..

Yea it sucks. We already complained. :P

Yes you did, I can say that that ref is an idiot. And I'd also be mad if he srewed us up. But still, in soccer there are a lot of bad calls, so every team on this world's got something to say after the game cause of the refs. Still you finished first in the group and that result didn't effect your team. You showed everyone how much you suck with Ghana. And ROFLMAO at Donovan being the best USA player ever. He can be good in the worst league in the world (MLS), but we all saw how pathetic he looks in a normal club in England.

[MannyIsGod]

He looked pathetic in England? Really? You want to ask the Everton fans how they feel about Donovan?

In any case, we're getting better in soccer and we're still better than Slovenian so it can't be that bad but this thread is about basketball where we're also better than Slovenia. You should go start a Biathalon or Snowshoe racing thread so that Slovenia can be tops.

[MannyIsGod]

Also, best individual players in the world did a good job on defense in that 2nd. They gave up what, 6 points?

[Kobayagi]

we scored 3 good goals in that game


I remember hearing the referee's whistle at least a second before the ball even reached Edu. The goal wasn' disallowed, because the play had already been stopped. Why was it stopped? Well, only the referee knows that. It wasn't our players' fault.

Don't remember saying it was your players fault, but it was a good goal. I'm not asking for the official result to be overturned since it matters pretty much nothing, I just want you, Slovenian fan, to know that the USA won that game.

And I'm sure you do.

:king

I watched Everton that year and yea Landon Donovan sucks. If he'd be any good he'd be playing in Europe.

You are getting better. That's true. We are also getting better. And right now you're not better than us. Perhaps you're better on the FIFA rankings, just cause you play against pathetic teams every time. And yea this is a basketball thread so I had enough about soccer.
And good for you cause you're better in some sports than Slovenia, really great.

ahh.. time warner strikes again

[CubanMustGo]

Canada is trailing Lebanon ... serves them right for not letting the Red Rocket play!! :lol

It was 2-2!! Everywhere you check it was 2-2. I don't give a shit what you American soccer fans think about it.
It should have been 3-2 but it wasn't.
This is just if the Chelsea fans would now think they won the Champions league 2 years ago, just cause there was no penalty against Barcelona.

[CubanMustGo]

It should have been 3-2

I think you just made Manny's point for him. Thanks.

How about talking about basketball now?

Our dumbass announcer keeps saying Ben Gordon is playing for USA. Is there an e-mail I can write to and let them know they don't know shit about players.

Haahahaha.. Which one. SLO2 or Sport tv???

And USA soccer did not defeat our team. I just said ref made a mistake, but it wasn't 3-2 for your pathetic team that can't defeat Ghana.

[Texas_Ranger]

whats slovenia?

It's a country where Goran Dragič is from. You know that player that fucked the whole Spurs team in one quarter. :(

[LoneStarState'sPride]

wtf is up with ESPN's game clock, again?

[MannyIsGod]

Team USA showing off their bad ass individual play through their world dominating passing.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Meh, not impressed, Beno Udrih could do that in 5 minutes and change--when he was IN a Spurs uniform.

[Kobayagi]

Haahahaha.. Which one. SLO2 or Sport tv???


Sport TV.

It's still better than watching the games on SLO2. Announcer on SLO2 sounds like a funeral.

TBH tomorrow will be a funeral and team USA will be the undertaker. The announcer has it right.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Passing practice.

[MannyIsGod]

Team USA displaying some more impressive individual passing. They suck though and aren't a team unless they can triple Croatia. Doubling them is not very impressive given we have 300 million people.

[Kobayagi]

I don't mind losing to USA, it would suck if this croatian team beats us.


USA is going to get their asses handed to them by Spain or Greece.

:lol. And I thought that Sport tv is great. :downspin:
And I agree wit the SLO2 Žibrat shit. That's just bad. :(
I watch it on HRT2, it's also pretty boring. :blah

Kill Bill is that you?

I liked the first game, because Sagadin was guest announcer.

Cool story bro.

Are you serious dude??:wow

I'd like to see that USA loses once on this tournament just to show all that they aren't unbeatable, but I do think they'll be World champs. Spain and KBP are good, but USA is just better.

[Chieflion]

Looking forward more towards the France VS Spain match. The USA is just going to walk through their group easily.

Well Spain should win that one. France's got always a good team, but on the tournaments they always suck.

I'm ready to see Ian Mahmini go off for 30 points and 22 rebounds with 12 blocks.

/Spurstalk

[Chieflion]

I see 2 people from the same family (probably), sitting beside each other in the audience, one wearing a Lakers jersey, the other wearing a Celtics jersey.

[Texas_Ranger]

I'm ready to see Ian Mahmini go off for 30 points and 22 rebounds with 12 blocks.

:lol

I hope he'll step on the court. Last time he was on the bench all the time. :blah

[MannyIsGod]

Hope to see fellow Lobo Danny Granger tear it up!

[Chieflion]

The Gay Love connection.

[Hooks]

That was nice block from Chandler, he chased that guy down and swatted that guy.

[velik_m]

Fun fact: the last time Croatia made the WC was 1994, which was also the last time USA won it. Maybe Croatia getting to the WC is a good omen for USA.

[Mel_13]

USA is going to get their asses handed to them by Spain or Greece.

USA-Spain is a coin flip. Those two teams are clearly better than any other team in the tournament. The winner of that semi-final will get gold, the winner of the other (losers) side of the bracket will get silver.
