SD,

Sunday, Portugal v. U.S., 3pm eastern.

Next up, MEX v. BRA.  Mexico has a chance to squeak by.

Yuck. Played about three levels less than they are capable of. Either that, or they're not as good.

farg. Unless the game plan was score first then sit, I don't get what happened minute 1-86.

Looked like they were playing prevent defense the whole way.

each game is of its own. enjoy this! ghana is a strong side, they werent going to go down easy. of course could have played better but many of the wounds were self-inflicted. and the ghana goal was a beauty, not a result of poor defense.

now a pissy eurotrash-laden portugal side, with a gimpy ronaldo and no pepe, must gets 3 pts against MERCA in the grotesque rain forest humid heat of manaus. all WE need to do is grind out a 0-0 draw, and so long as germany disposes of ghana, WE will be through

altidore or no altidore, the path is there folks. lets do this.

That Brooks goal was beautiful.

I believe...

Hopefully the USMNT plays with a little more urgency.

They gotta work on their passing. That shtein was sloppy. Also, a little upfield vision would help.

By the way, what exactly was the injury sustained by Altidore? Is he out for the next match?

Strained his hamstring, they won't know more until he's back in Sao Paulo.

[Diomedes]

awaiting tests i think

Typical injury for Jozy.  I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier in the build up to the tournament.

He's as injury prone as a bitchmade dude can get.

yup, what a Hoyda for pulling a hamstring in a non contact situation

coward

Somebody's trolling the troll. So meta.

I wasn't criticizing Jozy.  I was just making a statement about his tendency to have issues with his hamstrings.  The same thing happened in the 2011 Gold Cup.  I love the guy, personally.

[MDS]

well that invisible icelandic weirdo aaron jo-han-son needs to play more like jozy next game. or old ass wondo.
