OT: World Cup

[esls79]

Bradley is friggin useless. Germany taking full control of this game now.

The Toronto FC stench has utterly ruined him. He's finished.

Ghana and Portugal tied 1-1

 

[Slimpikins]

To put it in hockey terms: Germany has the forecheck going and the US is having trouble getting out of their own zone.

 

[SLY]

My feed on WatchESPN is lagging like a bitch.

The color commentary guy on the ESPN broadcast is horrible. At least two occasions where the official cleary signaled that he was playing the advantage and the guy is completely oblivious of that. Former player too.

 

[Slimpikins]

I don't get why the ref played the advantage on the last one with the US coming out of their half. The ball did come to a US forward but he had three German defensemen right in front of him. I would have rather had the foul called.

But yes, Twellman reminds me of the frat guy that you can convince to get naked and jump off of the roof at a party. Not the brightest guy.

US are slowly running out of players...

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Was it Jones who ran into the ref earlier too?

Guy needs to pay attention to where he's going.

Yeah, feel free to disagree with playing the advantage, but to be totally unaware is ridiculous.

Bastian Schweinsteiger, best name in the tourney?

 

[Comeds]

Time to think about using the goal in the bank.

 

[Slimpikins]

No possession for the US in the second half. It's hard to build up to that tying goal if you don't control the ball.

Portugal 2, Ghana 1

 

[Slimpikins]

LOL Ronaldo may have scored the biggest goal for the US so far,

 

[mall3013]

Portugal 2, Ghana 1

Takes the pressure off the tired and crippled USA team. Thank you Ronaldo!

 

[dash]

Gonzalez has saved the USA's bacon several times today...

 

[dash]

USA took it on the lam, but Lahm blocked it aside for Germany.

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Those were probably the two best chances of the game for the US.

It got them through, but they looked terrible today.

 

[Slimpikins]

Well we backed in to the knockout stage but we are in.

It's the Italian way, Slim (lol)
