I am worried that one time or another, one of the Italians will get free and it will not be offside.
Great save by Keller.
What a game this is.

they flop more than Maradona did in is heyday. They always have. They have always been the sleaziest team in the World Cup. I want to see a red card for diving.
Nice save by Keller.

I agree, the ref should have given more verbal warnings before he shows cards.

You are wrong. The ball was clearly touched first.
And I have it on DVR and watching it on a 106" HD screen.
Care for the trifecta.

The yellow-red card, Pope touched the ball. I saw it on slow motion also. The first one was a late side tackle, yellow card yes, but red card? No.

The U.S. goalie made a save?

Gonna be very hard to score. Some great pushes, but no one there where you need them...

Protecting against the Italian counter is critical.

Why do you thank me? Your team is fighting hard and in a disadvantaged position. The Italians have the better team, but they´re not showing it today. I have sympathy for underdogs. Plus, it makes the competition more exciting and helps to promote soccer in the States.

Impressive how hard the USA fight here. They made up for the Czechoslovakia debacle with this game. They're playing tremendously for being down a man to Italy. Win, lose or draw, a brave performance.

How can anyone say soccer isn't exciting?
I'm going nuts here.

After the last world cup, one would expect a German to have modicum of respect for the US team :-)

I'm looking forward to Ecuador deflating our German hosts.
Then I'm looking forward to England ending it.

Live in a semi rural area and have a little cable company. Not the best, but right about now I'm happy with them.
We even got the Mets channel at only a couple of dollars more.
Cable bill is outrageous tho.

Yeah, you don´t have to hide yourself tonight. Fingers crossed, ca. 15 minutes left. A draw would be a victory!!
