hahaha

They'd tear us apart if we went to a 3-4-3.

Any of the australian guys available? We may need them in our final 10 minutes.

Beasley better not be out there in the 2nd half, and take out Pope and Cherundolo as well.

I posted that right as he fell. I didn't realize he had injured himself so bad as to not be able to walk without even being touched. Sorry.

news flash: they are already tearing us apart. as i said, it wouldnt matter because our defense is sucking.

Bottom line...The guys who were badmouthing Keller before WC are using that goal to vindicate their weak arguments. Everybody who doesn't have dog in that fight agrees it was almost impossible to stop.

A soft clear by US. Two Americans screening Keller. One of US defenders should have challenged shooter. Plus it was bending away and perfectly placed.

koller might be out for the tourney if he reaggravated his knee injury. i think he was out not that long ago with ACL stuff correct? if that is messed up again, hes done

Well, we don't want to lose 6-0.

We need Clint Dempsey. Drop Pope and Cherudolo.


Play w/ 10 men.

different knee. that throw in was a good example of the half. not a single player moved towards the ball

a right footed kick from the left side of the field does not bend away from a goalie

It was the other knee.

How will we fare against Italy?

He grabbed his hamstring. Knee or ham, I can't imagine him playing next game or two. Unfortunately, he has already done his damage against us. He is a load, looks like a mountain.

are you kidding me. it can bend either way. you ever hit the ball with the ouside of your foot. give me a break

did you see the kick december? yes it did bend away

care, italy will most likely be better than CR, so expect a beating there as well if we dont seriously up our game

no it didnt, he kicked inside of the foot, right footed, from the left. that = bending towards goal

Uh, see Frings' goal from the opener. It is definately possible to bend a ball like that with your right foot.

It has been awhile since I played, but that is the direction mine would go. Which side are you calling left?

The problem is, one of our usual strengths at outside mid is not happening. beasley looks like absolute crap and mastroeni is giving us nothing going forward from center mid. Yet again, donovan proves to be more effective when not playing forward. I honestly dont know why beasley is starting, as he has looked horrible the past 5 or so games anyways. I see us subbing mastroeni and bringin in johnson, and droppin landon to offensive mid, and maybe bringing in dempsey for beasley at some poitn early on if beas doesnt get his **** together and stop playing like a *****

And there was the replay from right behind Rosicky. It definately bent away from Keller at the end.

give me a break. did you just see the replay. clearly bends away at the end. get your tivo out or whatever you techies use

uh, the left side. the one that he shot from.

Yeah, the second goal is probably more on Dolo than Keller for that ridiculous "clearance." But Keller WAS out of position and reacted late.

Of course, it would have been a fantastic save by Keller if he'd made it. But any elite keeper would have made it.

If you want another argument, I think he could have punched the cross away on the first goal, but that's not his fault because nobody could have predicted that Pope would just fall down and not challenge.

my december - these guys aren't out there toe-punching the ball. They can bend either direction with either foot.

ok december, you are no longer allowed to discuss soccer, please leave. If you strike a ball with enough pace and with the right angle of your leg swing, yes the ball will have an almost s-curve or knuckle.

Just saw the replay for 5th time. It bent away from Keller.

they just made my point for me. both the knuckling and away from the goalie. argument over

not much of a bend, but maybe yall are right. my bad. nice shot, but keller was all the way at the other side of the net

Dolo didn't clear it was Onyewu.

And the ball definitely curved away from Keller.
