LewPort71 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 And the three stars are 3...Jozy Altidore 2...Landon Donovan and the #1 Star >>>Tim Howard... (yes I know its a hockey thing, but these three played outstanding.) The ref in me says the RED card was bogus...Maybe a yellow. I hope Demarcus B. is not allergic to pine.

VOR Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Another bull sh-- red card. It wasn't even a yellow card. And with over 10 minutes being down a man, Spain couldn't score. Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The other thing that makes this game so sweet is that no team in the world has been able to beat them in the last 35 matches, and they brought out their best squad, and we did it!!! Donovan played great, so did Onyewu, Demerrit and Howard. Obviously Altidore and Dempsey with their props because of the goals they scored, but I would say those were the best players out on the pitch today. Unfrickinbelievable, just be the #1 ranked team in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 The ref in me says the RED card was bogus...Maybe a yellow. I don't understand all the distictions on the fouls, but WTF did he do that warranted getting tossed out? Looked like a BS call. Nice defense holding off the charge during the last 15 minutes.

PromoTheRobot Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 What? Doesn't matter..... They just beat frickin Spain ... I'm no soccer expert but even the tv guys were saying they were getting to the ball to late in their end. Looked like a hockey power play most of the game. But maybe that was the idea? They flooded their own zone with defenders. Gave Spain no clean shots. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I don't understand all the distictions on the fouls, but WTF did he do that warranted getting tossed out? Looked like a BS call. Nice defense holding off the charge during the last 15 minutes. The referee made the call on his view of spikes up and the foot above the ball. The challenge might have been late, also. I did notice that only ONE replay of the foul was shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewPort71 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 You are correct PTR, The guys were tired. They get an extra day to rest before Sunday's CHAMPIONSHIP match. After the first two matches can you believe the USA will be in the finals ? And FIFA has to get rid of those damn horns... esp before 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTS Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 What a great performance! I don't like that US hunkered down after taking the lead. They still have this confidence issue against world powers. When they stay aggressive, they can play with the best. As for the red card, it was a total BS call that has a good chance of being overturned I think. The fact that they never showed the replay again pretty much means it was a major f-up by the ref. He pretty much had his hand in his pocket before the guy even fell. Remember, this is the same ref that screwed the US over against Italy in the 2006 World Cup, sending two players off with red cards in the first half alone and waving off a go-ahead goal.

ajzepp Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Holy - CRAP!!!!! YO ADRIENNE....WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sitting here in awe of what I just watched. I want to know what the FUG happened to transform these guys from a lazy, uninspired bunch to absolute world beaters?!? That was one of the best all around performances I've seen in an American team since I don't know when. I know some of you guys have disagreed with me about Onyewu's performance, but if you couldn't see a difference in the guy's play today vs. what he's been doing, I don't know what to tell you. The guy was playing 9' tall! DeMerritt did great too, but come on, Onyewu was a man among boys, and that's the player I've been wanting to see since first hearing all the hype four years ago. He single-handedly shut down half of Spain's set pieces back there! And how about Altidorre? The one thing I was getting frustrated with this guy was his failing to use his stature to his advantage. A week ago you would have seen him take a dive when he was at the top of the box with the defender. What did he do today? He turned into a badass mofo, turned on the ball, and put us up 1-0!!! FUG YEAH BABY!!!! And lastly, what about that second half? Spain was letting loose everything they had in the arsenal to get back even in the match....I don't know how many shots they had, but there were a LOT of them, and they were on goal. What an amazing effort to withstand that for over 45 min, taking a 2-0 lead in the process. Hell, I even saw a bicycle kick in there!! lmao This team had swagger and they were bringing it! What a win!!! U-S-A!!!! U-S-A!!!! U-S-A!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 When they stay aggressive, they can play with the best. Before today, I felt like what you just said has been nothing more than a theory....but you're exactly right, and they proved it today. This team has GOT to continue using their physical advantage, cause when they do they CAN play with the best, as you said. I can't believe this is the same bunch that was biatch slapped by Costa Rica a few weeks ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
