Even an ardent soccer-hating troll would have to love the slo-mo on those benders.

Another goal for the US before half time would be just what Arena's team needs right now.
Don't let the Italians get their act together during the break.

If Arena expects to keep his job, USA must win this game.
Heard there's a former Germany coach living in CA just waiting to step in to coach the American team.

Red card just before the half. Good grief.

He went in with his cleats high.
I thought it was harsh. Definetly a yellow though.

A red card is handed out when a foul is clearly intentional and could severely hurt the one who's being fouled. In this case one could argue that with a bit more force he could've broken the other player's leg.

"That was bogus!"
It was.
Not good.

The expert commentator on Norwegian TV thinks the red card was totally wrong.

I'd agree - he had the velocity, but seemed close to the ball, without too much malice.
But I don't ref, so who knows?

Late tackle and he dived in with both feet, studs showing.
