Yellow cards ....consecutive matches...
Subs. 3 per match in FIFA international matches.
Way back 'when', there were no subs...
New name for the US National team.
Team Shovel....since they continually dig themselves a
deep hole in their matches.
Looks like Japan is advancing to the knockout round of 16
Up 2--0 late in second half. 77th minute.
If the US was trailing, I'd say we had 'em just where we wanted 'em...
That is why I enjoy these tournaments so much.
When my dau was a youth player, we had the exact same thing
occur in a tournament. We scored late and advanced
...and won the whole kitandkabootle
I recorded this show on the DVR....Heard many good things about this show.
And my DVR has ability to record two shows at same time.
So ESPN and ESPN 2 will BOTH at 9:30 this AM.
I'd like not to hear the results and see the recordings
'fresh', but that ain't gonna happen...I'll listen to the matches
on XM radio.
GO USA
Pete,,,thanks for that video A+
Another reason to abhor French football.
The French coach REFUSED to shake the hand of the coach
of South Africa after the loss....
What a maroon ..
Now that SA has been bounced, can FIFA get its heads out of its collective butt
and nuke those stupid vuvuzelas. FIFA's position was that the vuvuzela was part of the
culture / soccer experience in SA. Now they are out,,I say out with the acursed
noise maker.
As for France, since they got into the WC with a tainted win over
Ireland (Pierre Henry handball), I think it is a little bit
of poetic justice that they got bounced....
GO USA
The FIFA rankings have Italy at 5
New Zealand is 83.
For the Kiwis, this is huge. As is any tie when a lower ranked
team ties a higher ranked team. They get one point and
are still in the running to qualify for the round of 16.
