Awesome, I'm going to go out and buy three copies of the NY Post.

USA hung tough yesterday! Hey does anyone know of a free feed on the internet to watch live games? All the ones I found are pay sites. I have heard there are free ones - maybe some local TV station somewhere.

[romanesq]

No one has ever scored with 9 men. The US in fact did but McBride was in an offsides spot screening the keeper. If not, well... we'll never know.

[NewCenturions]

If it can't be the USA team, I'd like to see Italy win the whole thing. Yesterday's game was amazing, despite the ref!

[romanesq]

Spirit in the French camp? Yesterday I put it this way. The spirit in the French team is like the spirit in the country: divisive, elitists and seperatists.

That's good news for South Korea which is coming in entirely the opposite.
I bet South Korea to win with my Ghana winnings. :)

Soccer the only ball game that one must hit the ball with the head,no wonder the spanish like the game.
I don't know what this means or why you posted it. Are you the self proclaimed authority on Spanish cultureloser who called the Spanish "taco eating surrender monkeys" after Zapatero announced the pullout from Iraq. I thought this thread was about the World Cup.

[freedom moose]

The Ref was awful. He over compensated and made terrible calls with the red card.
I thought the red card against the US was BS so did everyone I watched the game with. I'm no ref but I thought red was extreme (i'm in favor of "letting the players play the game" so I wouldn't have called any penalty). I guess a yellow card would have been justified, maybe yellow and 1/2...

[romanesq]

Can someone please show the red to the ignorant trolls. :)

[ZinGirl]

You've never watched a Yankees game, then. ;) <-- here you take the clue to relax a bit.

OK....if it's the Yankees playing IN Baltimore...and the Yankees are winning....I'll watch the last inning just to watch Baltimore get ugly....THAT is fun. (snort)

;) <----here is my "i'm relaxed" wink right back at ya!

[Canard]

I thought it was a red card after seeing the replay (and the fact that you would admit to 'yellow and a half' surely shows that it was a bad tackle). Could easily break someone's ankle with a tackle like that, why shouldn't the referee crack down on that?

[freedom moose]

The sporting equivalent of the UN, I suppose.
Yes any worldwide competition is equal to the UN, anti-American and a huge socialist plot to force abortion, gay marriage and wealth redistribution on the entire world.
P.S. I'm being sarcastic

[manonfire]

Very difficult game to watch yesterday but equally exciting...It had just about every element...They just got to keep these absurd yellow cards on the sidelines though...Italy has a great chance on winning it at the same time, the U.S. played like the're capable of playing and if it continues, should do very well...Man, they better get some serious rest after yesterday..

[notfornothing]

And after the screaming, coffee table pounding, blood pressure raising event we saw yesterday, we can actually sit back and enjoy the footy for a change today.

I'm looking forward to Act II:

[FReepaholic]

Maybe the admin moderator can fix the spelling in the title.

Could easily break someone's ankle with a tackle like that, why shouldn't the referee crack down on that?
It looked to me like he was going for the ball and not attempting dangerous or malicious play. While watching the game, it seemed like BS to me and the non-partisan (somewhat anti-US) fans I watched with agreed red was too much. I'd like to go back and take a good look at it.

[notfornothing]

Oh come on. You know that 999 times out of a thousand that's a yellow card foul. I've seen worse than that go uncarded dozens of times in this tournament. This was obviously a make-up call.

[Canard]

Oh, I tend to agree that the tackle wasn't meant maliciously, it was highly reckless though. I also think that many referees may have gone with just a yellow card, but it's far from the most outrageous red card I've ever seen.

[Modok]

May Brazil kick Australia's sissy ass.

[romanesq]

Whoa dem's fightin words.
Someone send a telegram to the Aussies.

Pansies they ain't. Shoot they came back to score three to win.
That's no sissy team.

[Modok]

footy?

You are flaming Australian.
