The MAVERICKS are great, aren´t they?
Yep, certainly better that the US team right now. :(
I always thought praying for a win was pretty stupid, like they just can't do it for the other side?
"Oh Lord, you are so huge, so incredibly big...."
Yes, sir. I'll do my duty to God and country. :)
Not looking to promising in the second half so far...
The US attack seems a bit "Lightweight" for lack of a better word.
As Bill Shankly so eloquently put it: "Football is not a matter of life and death. It's much more important than that."
AGAIN! SOOOOO close.
The Czechs have been to the World Cup more than the US has
what's this THEY you kept mentioning in your post?
I'm not a member of the team, therefore it's they. Anyway, I'm pulling for England.
DANG. Another one for the Czechs.
Dang! Them Czechs are good. Their goalie is magnificent.
Rosicky.
Great finish again by Rosicky.
Just as it seemed like the US attack might have been picking up a bit, the Czechs put the final nail in the coffin.
I am afraid it's game over.
Game over. You guys should pick up all 3 points against Ghana, but need at least a draw with Italy to hope to advance.
If we can just do what the Aussies did...
Just scrolling at work...Unnngggghhhh!!
Down 3-nil???
ONOOOOO!!
We won't even beat Ghana playing like this. No imagination on offense.
We'll see after Italy's game what kind of form Ghana is in. Hopefully they're poor, since I'm an Azzurri tifoso ;)
The -3 goal differential is what is going to kill us.
Right, good point. Forgot about goals.
We pretty much need to get all 6 points in the final two games. Not bloody likely.
I really do like those USA jerseys tho lol. I'm a bit of a jersey collector and wouldn't mind one of those in my collection. Much better than Canada's awful shirts
