OT: World Cup Begins

[elocomotive]

What a way to cure the let down of the Stanley Cup ending two days ago.

Anyone watching the game right now?

Just flipped it on in the office. Thx for reminding me

I think USA has a very legit shot this year. As long as Altidore gets healthy and Donovan continues to dominate, we should be in good shape.

They just did some overheads of the field and it just struck me this will be the first World Cup that myself (and most people) will see in HD. Should make the game much more enjoyable.

And they're off!

Great save by the tender, and an even better play by the fullback from S.A.

 

[elocomotive]

Mexico absolutely dominant in the first five minutes. I guess I'm rooting for the host, but it's not looking good.

They have "ice girls" at hockey games, do they have "Grass girls" at soccer games?

Ole Ole Ole Ole Ole

Maybe the come out to trim the bush or something?

Agree with Go USA but you really think they have a shot jstew? I wonder what the Vegas odds are.

I part picked them to go against the flow thinking not many others would pick them and partly because I think they have a shot

If Onyewu is healthy he can shut the worlds best forwards down

the website i use has this:

USA Stage of Elimination 11.30am Group Stage 2.00
Last 16 2.25
Quarter-Finals 6.00
Semi-Finals 15.00
Runner-Up 51.00
Winner 81.00

This is also why i think USA has a very legit shot

Tim Howard or youve been drinking Chang beer?





/btw is that snow?

If the Canadian Soccer Association had anyone with brains in charge they would schedule future World Cup qualifying games in Edmonton ... in January

These podunk nations in CONCACAF schedule their home games against canada in the blistering summer heat at altitude while their home fans throw ziplock bags full of urine at the players

Good thing i just picked up my overpriced 3d tv ......As far as i know all you need is a tv to throw out 120hz to be 3d compatible. What makes the samsung better/3d?

mexico got the shaft a bit a go.. shoulda been 1-0.. cant have offsides when a defender is on the goal-line.. very bad call

 

[sabre0917]

Lets go Mexico! 2-1

I was going to say it was splashback from bags of piss, but I see you covered that later in the post.

South Africa not showing enough patience on offense in the first half. They need to use their time/space and lead their wingers better, they keep slowing their attack with passes behind the overlap run.

Mexico has played better and their strikers seem to be better, but they definitely have had some lapses/mistakes on the back.

I can't believe that goal was disallowed. Tough break for Mayheco.

Mexico is Spain without attacking finish
