That was amazing. I thought we were going to be lucky to escape with 1 point after Ghana finally scored. But our plucky heroes pulled it out. Mind you, it wasn't the prettiest 100 minutes of soccer (I'm adding the stoppage time in before someone corrects me that a game is only 90 minutes), but at least our next game is against Portugal and not Germany.

The win was great, but the Altidore injury kind of dampens my mood for future success.

Those announcers were pretty annoying with their slobbering all over the US team. I hate homers that go overboard.

still probably beat his 13/14 stats though.

ToxicAdam · « **Reply #381 on:** June 16, 2014, 08:16:29 PM »

I dunno, I know soccer players are drama queens, but hamstring injuries never really go away in a short time span. In baseball or football,your usually looking at 2-3 weeks at best, 1-3 months at worst.

headwalk · « **Reply #382 on:** June 16, 2014, 08:25:33 PM »

as an englishman, i'd warn you against feeling too great about that game. it really reminded me of those "OUR BRAVE LADS" wins where we'd cynically hoof it up the park for 80 something minutes and grab a set piece winner, then somehow act surprised a few days later when a real team embarrasses us.

america were a good looking team in 2010. rough around all possible edges but at least they played with a little flair and confidence. maybe it was just the altidore injury throwing everything out of wack, but every element of the team looked weaker tonight than last time around (except howard).

hopefully portugal can bring out the best in you.

Quiet you. Let us enjoy this moment. Ghana dashed our hopes in the last two World Cups, and this time we beat them. We're the greatest team in the world!

i'm not sure how you're going to take portugal. they melted down earlier today but are still a quality side. your attack looked completely lost with altidore (weird saying that), your pass completion and general ball retention was horrendous and your back four gave ghana all the space in the world to move the ball around.

i'm being harsh here because i've had to watch my national side do all this shit for the last decade. we finally showed sparks of maybe evolving out of it on saturday and i wouldn't want to curse another side to the same fate.

Really though;

Salute Tim fucking Howard for dealing with ~80 minutes of having Ghana on his ass. The goals were extremely clutch but man, he really faced a firing squad out theretoday.

for sure. he was the one world class player on the pitch tonight and made all the right calls, even when they seemed suicidal.

For some reason, Mexico vs Cameroon. Rainy pitch, two sides fighting out it out, physical match while these two teams are covered in rain, mud slides. Just a fun ass match.

Brooks

What a hero

Bradley

What did he do the whole game?

Howard

His consistency and making sure that Ghana wouldn't score despite there being shot after shot was admirable. Proves why goalkeeper is my favorite position, they're just rad

Well, this could mean that soccer is getting more popular. Or it could mean that Brazil's timezone similarity just facilitates more watching of games here. These times are more favorable than South Africa, Germany, and Japan/South Korea.

Shame we let Belgium secede and only took back a part of it.

Then again if Holland never won independence from Spain that would have been killer too.
