Only 10 minutes to go! :-)
YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watching it on Univision, they showed the US troops in Afghanistan watching the match too...
Must stay on the line until the ball is kicked. Usually they move a few yards just before and although illegal is overlooked unless it’s too much.

Did you know that Shirley Temple was U.S. Ambassador to Ghana during the Reagan years?
Being pedantic here - they can move, just not forward.
Why doesn’t the goalie come way out of the crease and cut down the angle like they do in hockey?
Excited that the US has evened the match, but god they need to get control of this giving up early goals thing. The teams are too good at this point to be giving away the advantage in the first 10 minutes of every match. UGH.
But I’ll add that the U.S. looks close to outstanding when they are aggressive and press the ball on offense. Unfortunately it has taken them being behind or in a pickle to light the fire in the 2nd halves of their matches.
US team is getting stronger and stronger!
It’s good to see the English fans in the crowd supporting the US.
ok soccer newbee here, i know there cannot be a tie now, do they keep playing till someone scores?
THey always come out to play in the second half. Hoping for a sub for Altidore soon. He’s flat footed today.
Like the others have said, keeper can’t move till the ball is kicked.
To combat that I would set up just left of center because I dove better to my right. The opposing player would almost always kick to my right because he’d see all that open goal. Using that tactic I could stop most kicks that weren’t perfectly placed in the upper corner.
Two 15min halves of overtime (not sudden death) followed by penalty kicks.
My daughters karate sensei (Half Japanese, half American, married to a Brazilian) told all the student this morning to get up and cheer for “our cousins in England. We don’t want the Germans to win...”
Bradley screws up another chance.
No, there will be 90 minutes normal time. If a draw (get with the lingo haha) then it will be half an hour play (2 x 15 minutes), then if still a draw will be the most exciting and horrible thing in sport - penalty kicks!!!
The announcer said they would play an additional 20-minute period (IIRC). If still tied, they would go the shootout format.
just getting here.. TV on, drink in hand
1/1 I note
