USA
on the verge of a massive upset against the European Champions Spain. 2-0 up at the moment, 10 minutes left.. This is quite unbelievable!

This needs to be set up properly. The USA ends up in a group with Brazil, Italy, and Eygpt. 1.We are a man down to Italy and score. Italy then wakes up and promptly thrashes us with 3 straight goals. 2. Brazil makes us looks like fools in an incredibly easy 3-0 game. 3. So we go into the game with Eygpt, looking to try and just play better. Hold the ball, move it around, clearly we will not make the next round as we would need to beat Eygpt who narrowly lost to Brazil 4-3, and thrashed Italy. Lets just play well. Brazil will also need to trash Italy, they are already in the next round, Italy is playing to get in. 4. And this is huge... We somehow beat Eygpt 3-0. Go figure, we are out but a good finishing game. No, wait, Brazil destroys Italy 3-0, we are miraculously in on points. OMG. Oh well, out next round. Spain. They have won their last 35 international games and ranked number 1 in the world. 5. We are totally dominated in time of possession, Spain is much more skilled. We win 2-0. THis is the most surprising tournament EVER for the US. We just are not that good, but this is football... soccer. Our MVP, dont dare say Dempsey. LANDON DONOVAN. He makes everything good happen on our team. Without Donovan, we should not even bother playing internationally. Maybe we should not play anyway. |

Im a massive fan of Clint Dempsey. I "discovered" him 2 years ago in fantasy football and he almost single handedly won me the contest.. He is the States' best player but this tournament Landon has probably played a shade better.

in the net. But OMG Brock, he made so many crappy (bloody awful ) decisions otherwise. I dont know how to assess this type of play. We had to have him as he scored when it counted. But he put us in so many bad spots... Donovan seems, to this uneducated soccer fan, to be the only man who can create an attack on his own. I dont have confidence with any other players with the ball on a long run that requires a good pass into space or a shot. And he is definitely the best guy with the ball if pressured by the defense. |

LOL...I was gunna watch it, but got distracted by that guy talking 'bout his Maria. I expected them to get blown away by Spain. What happened? Spain just due to lose 1, or what?

Now we meet the winner of Brazil-South Africa. Should be Brazil and we will most likely have our gonads handed to us in the final. |
