USA vs. Czech Republic (Soccer)

[LoyolaMiddie878]

it's halftime and the US is down 2-0.

they're gonna have to step it up or they're going down.

[maxlax621]

This is so frustrating to watch, the US is not getting a single call, and they cant control the ball.

[CardinalPuff]

:banghead: .....terrible....very frustrating.....

[rampartmiddie]

US needs to press harder, they are moving the ball back too much. and the calls are crappy. anyone see the goal they allowed japan to have this morning? omg... what are they paying the refs for?

yeah, i saw that call.

that was absolutely bogus...should never have been allowed.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

you gotta give it to the Czechs though. their defense is awesome.

and they're the number 3 team in the world...

[LoyolaMiddie878]

:wow: the Czechs almost just made it 3-0...off the crossbar...what a break for the US.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

ok, this game is just about over now....3-0 Czechs in the 76th minute.

[rampartmiddie]

3-0 game over. they earned it. the US looks lazy out there. the czechs hustled for every ball. they are the 2nd seed for a reason.

[attacknation]

Yeah the czechs looked strong out there and i think the fifa ranking system was a little ambitious ranking the US a five seed. But then again, Casey Keller is unbelivable, along with that sick stryker. Oh well theres always a chance we can win, but then again I doubt we will beat Italy, maybe Ghana.

[rampartmiddie]

yeah should be interesting to see the outcome of the italy ghana game today. it think it will give you clearer picture on how the US might do against italy. there is lots of footy left to be played.

[LoyolaMiddie878]

game over...3-0 Czechs.

and the Czechs did look pretty sick...their defense is top notch.

im not looking forward to the Italy game...that's gonna be a very difficult one too.

i think u have a bigger chance of beating italy rather than ghana... but we'll see how their game is going...

and yea... wasnt played too good, they looked like a bunch of teenagers who were trying too hard sometimes, and made stupid mistakes...

but the czechs have one of their best teams ever... they totally deserved it..

oh and the refs, well i dont think its that easy to call a world cup... they are the best in the world, and they have proven that a couple of times, so they do have the right to call those games, ... its just human that they make mistakes sometimes too! :nono:

[Irishlax22]

That Italy game is a must win now.

[maxlax621]

ghana dominated Italy, they just couldn't finish, also ghana got fouled twice in the box both times were not called

[silvanthalas]

Man, the US is in a world of hurt after the way Ghana played Italy.

Ghana may have lost, but they looked like they belonged in the World Cup.

I just want to say, GO KOREA!!!! JUNE 13th 8:55 AM Eastern Time

[unhwildcat'82]

I was hoping they'd make a better showing. This is supposed to be the best team we've ever fielded. We'll know soon enough...
