Zona Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Wondo let me down. I hope he gets a second chance in extra time to score the winner. I say wondo scores in the 117th minute to give us the win.
Fixxxer Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Come on USA! WIN THIS, THEN PHOCK ARGENTINAS ASS! I guess you did not root for Argentina today.....
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) scoreless in 90 plus minutes then you let in 2 goals in 15 minutes !!!!! Edited July 1, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever
meazza Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 scoreless in 90 plus minutes then you let in 2 goals in 15 minutes !!!!! Leaving the next Didier Drogba on the bench until extra time paid off for Belgium. Sorry buds.
KD in CA Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Howard was incredible or else they would have lost 3-0 or worse. As it was they had their chance to steal the game in the 93d minute and missed. They did make it fun in the last 15 of extra time, had a couple chances to tie it and couldn't get a quality shot off. In the end they just have too many mediocre guys on that team that can't win one-on-one battles, can't stay with good strikers and aren't accurate and creative with the passing. One positive sign is the young guys on the bench seem to be more talented than some of the starters. Hopefully they can keep evolving that roster.

Even with all that USA at the 93rd minute almost got the 1-0.
Pete Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Team USA- you put the world on notice! Player of game has to be Howard. It is great having a player of his caliber back there. Jones makes it happen all over the field One plus,, a 4:00 start makes for a 4:00-6:00 happy hour
Mark80 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) "They" say it takes 3 generations of players to build a top end program. Realistically, ours started in the early 90's. We are about 1/2 - 3/4 of the way through the second generation. I feel we're right on track for this to come to fruition. In 2022 we should be a force to be reckoned with. We had the World Cup that we needed to keep the momentum going getting out of that group with Portugal and Ghana was huge. Sure, we could surprise in Russia (as we had a slim chance to here) but 2022, we could / should be among the favorites. It was a fun ride, but we were never winning it all this time. Now I drink Scotch and drunk dial a girl I'm going to regret in the morning. Don't Tread On Me. Edited July 1, 2014 by Mark80
FluffHead Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 One of the most depressing facts from this game: Tim Howard is 35 years old.
Pete Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Now I drink Scotch and drunk dial a girl I'm going to regret in the morning. Don't Tread On Me. Substitute scotch for Cuervo and those are my thoughts too. You sir have good tastes in plans, music, booze and sentiment
LB3 Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Crushed. Feel bad for Howard. We can't play that defensive all game. On the positive side, we have some young players who look good when given a chance. Yedlin played great. Edited July 1, 2014 by KikoSeeBallKikoGetBall
Peter Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 As bummed as I am about the result, I am excited about this team's future. We play with lots of heart and have promising young talent. Jurgen also is the right guy to lead this team forward. I am proud of this team.
The Poojer Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I really enjoyed watching the world cup but now with the US done, I'm done with soccer for 4 more years. The sport still HSS work to do to get my interest. I hope they can but I don't know if I can take the leap. But the world cup is an extraordinary event.
Cugalabanza Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Damn. Hurts. Good heart at the end, but not enough skill and/or faith in the first 110 minutes or so. Sick game from Howard wasted. Turning now to the brotherhood of the grape to soften the blow. Cheers to Deandre Yedlin and Julian Green!! And (!@#$ it) to DeMarcus Beasley! He was great today. And of course to Tim Howard. Stone cold genius of a baddassss goaltender! Edited July 2, 2014 by Cugalabanza
meazza Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 So bradley. You guys still see him as the deep lying playmaker?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted July 2, 2014 Posted July 2, 2014 I really enjoyed watching the world cup but now with the US done, I'm done with soccer for 4 more years. The sport still HSS work to do to get my interest. I hope they can but I don't know if I can take the leap. But the world cup is an extraordinary event. I am with you. I was able to generate some mild interest, but won't be watching any MLS games anytime soon.
