USA vs Belgium Game Thread (Tuesday @ 3pm ct)

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Now Beckerman for Cameron

Would be all for it, with 2 extra-time halfs looming..

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

That was a foul!!!

[Fort Dweller]

How is that not a free kick?

[Dirty]

what?  no foul?

[PonderinHog]

Tim Howard!

We've got to take some pressure off of him

I'd nominate him for Secretary of Defense.

[Fort Dweller]

If there is a better keeper in the world, I'd like to see him.

[Fort Dweller]

Gonzalez rolls and ankle.  Didn't look pretty.

[Fort Dweller]

He's gonna tough it out.

[Dirty]

shoot it up......this is the World Cup

[Fort Dweller]

Howard has to have double digit saves

[Fort Dweller]

Did you see that recovery by Bradley?  Fantastic

[Fort Dweller]

Howard has to have double digit saves

10 saves for Howard

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Tim Howard keeping us in this game so far.

[Fort Dweller]

We are all heart

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Wondo was on a 1 on 6 break right there...lol

We just can't get it together offensively

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Yedlin making a case for a starting job

[Dirty]

what!!!!!

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Did you see that recovery by Bradley?  Fantastic

I think it's time to accept his lack of production has been due to lack of help.

[Dirty]

I am ready to scream GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL  USA!!!!!!

[Dirty]

Howard again!

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

Howard putting on a clinic.

[cosmodrum]

Howard putting on a clinic.

Common will play him in the movie

[DukeOfPork]

We are all heart

"All heart" = "Lacking talent"

[Dirty]

Communication! 

[DukeOfPork]

Not watching this, but based on the radio play-by-play, this sounds like a thorough arse-kicking, minus a goal.

[Dirty]

AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PonderinHog]

crap

[cosmodrum]

Best on goal opportunity I've seen us have and he damn near shanked it.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

I finally turned the TV on and watched about the last 20 minutes of regular time.  My gosh, the difference in ball handling by the two teams is like the difference between the Globetrotters and the Washington Generals.  How we are still in this....

[razorbackfan86]

This is stressful

[Fort Dweller]

Origi out for Belgium.  Verl;kadsf;lkjasd;lfkjafsdkj pukes on the field

[Fort Dweller]

expletive

[Dirty]

Always.....

[Jackrabbit Hog]

When Tim Howard retires, he will make a great Bond villain.  Just has that look about him.

[Dr. Starcs]

I
I believe
I believe that
I believe that we
I believe that we as a nation can now go back to not going a crap about soccer for another 4 more years.

#5 for us was pathetic on that goal.

[Fort Dweller]

Never should have saved them from the Nazis

[Fort Dweller]

I
I believe
I believe that

Gonzalez has played his ass off today.  He's saved us just as much as Howard.

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

You can't win a game when you allow the other team to tee off inside your box.  Howard can only do so much.

What stinks is we are better than this.

A Donovan-lead team made it to the quarter finals in 2002.

One of our biggest problems is S P A C I N G...and you saw it right there.  Dempsey and Jones running into each other in the box.

[Dr. Starcs]

Gonzalez is #3, no?

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

And Bradley's going to take the brunt of the criticism back home and he doesn't deserve it.  When Altidore went down, we had no one to give him the help he needed.

[Fort Dweller]

Took a ball to the broken nose.  Tough SOB

[dj shanon "Notshavin" smeya]

I believe that we as a nation can now go back to not going a crap about soccer for another 4 more years. 

Um...we haven't been that nation for a while now.

Sorry to disappoint you.  But you're welcome to join us every 4 years.

[Fort Dweller]

Gonzalez is #3, no?

Yep.  My mistake.  Besler was the culprit.  He's played well too.

[Fort Dweller]

Damn

[ChromDome35]

Tim Howard didn't get much help on that one

[PonderinHog]

Stick a fork in 'em.  They're done.  Not a good scoring team.

[Fort Dweller]

Julian Green comes in for Bedoya

[cbhawg03]

The 2nd was coming cause we had to chase the game, but my gosh you can't just park the bus and defend every game and we are paying for it. Yes it was a slip and a freaky play but you can't just defend, defend, defend.

[Jackrabbit Hog]

Well, that was sorta fun while it lasted.

Only two months til Razorback football!!

[Dr. Starcs]

A nation awaits in what is being called the biggest game in us soccer history. What are you gonna do?  We're gonna take 3 shots on goal in 105+ minutes of play. Yep, that oughta bring in a ton of new supporters. Sheesh.
