Was wondering where the thread was..

Anyhow I am quite happy that Brazil won. Not that I made a bet on them /sarcasm.
Disappointed though in Spain. Expected a better play comparing their performance at the World Cup.

No such thing as bad publicity?

A part of me rolls my eyes at the almost tabloid-like material that's being pulled here...and another part of me is laughing because Beckham and the Galaxy brought it upon themselves.

anyone watching the gold cup? Holden had a beautiful strike to tie Haiti.

The US moves on in the Gold Cup. They will be playing Honduras next in Chicago.

[jurassic5]

The US beat Honduras tonight. They have moved on to the Gold Cup Final on Sunday.

0-0 at half vs Mexico in the Gold Cup Final.

It's being shown on Fox Soccer Channel

[whoami]

Mexico brought a roster that had some class players, while the US had at most 2 or 3 players (Perkins, Ching, Holden?) that will be on the roster on August 12th. IMO, it was Mexcio's B+ team vs USA's C team. Anyways, the US just ran out of gas after the PK.

big game for the US against Mexico down in Azteca this Wed. Hope they can at least come away with a draw....

[jurassic5]

Only 2 more hours until IT begins....


nobody watching the game?? I guess we will have to wait until next summer before anyone on Soompi starts caring about International soccer.

The US lineup for today:

1-Howard; 6-Cherundolo, 5-Onyewu, 15-DeMerit, 3-Bocanegra (capt.); 8-Dempsey , 13-Clark, 12-Bradley, 10-Donovan; 9-Davies, 11-Ching

[jurassic5]

The US goes down 2-1. After going up 1-0, I thought they had a shot...but it's not the end of the world. Azteca is impossible to win at.

^LMAO

Saw the game and it was awesome. Both teams did a great job. I think Mexico deserved the win. USA seriously kept me at my toes though.
Damn Castro's goal was just sick. I knew from then on that we had this.

YAY MEXICO!

[crackednut]

o man...benny benny benny...

Howard made a lot of great saves though.

[jurassic5]

Glad the US won down in Honduras. Took all the pressure off of them against Costa Rica. Now they just have to worry about South Africa.

[jurassic5]

Thoughts and prayers go out to USMNT player Charlie Davies and the victim of that horrible car accident in DC.

[justdancenow]

^^^^ oh dayum that sucks. Was he the one that made the goal at Azteca? Good luck to him and the others (the lady's family though... I hope they are ok...;;)

[jurassic5]

US comes back to tie Costa Rica with only 10 men on the pitch. Costa Rica goes from 2-0 lead to now being forced to have a playoff to decide if they go to South Africa or not.

Charlie was on everyone's mind at the game.
