OK, I watched the replay. I take it back about being out of position. He just reacted very slowly. I guarantee you the first thing Keller does postgame is blame the ball.

Keller was also screened by Reyna it looked like
wrong, he was in the middle of the net, and made a dive for the ball. When you a shot is as well placed, and travelling that fast the keeper has no shot. Just like reyna's shot that hit the post, the keeper had no shot.
hey Ag in CO...we get the point
It was just a hell of a shot. No matter where the keeper is positioned, there will be times when the shooter hits it perfectly and beats him from outside the box.

That is a sweet pic!!!
yeah if Reyna's shot would gone in he'd be saying it was a poor play by Cech
And as Padz said, he was screened, which makes it harder.

What does "fouls suffered" mean. Why is it not equal to the opposing team's fould committed??
i like the new ball, it makes the game a lot more interesting if there are more goals in most cases. I have definitely seen some odd looking shots (ie frings from germany, his shot was all over the place before finding the net)
Interesting that no penalties have been awarded in the tournament yet. We sure could use one to help us get back in it, since we've really only made one good scoring chance.

PatAg, normally I would agree with you, but not on a 25+ yard shot that is not high.
I hope we don't hear Keller complaining about the ball. It's not like we didn't see goals like that before this World Cup.

there should have been one in the aussie game this morning for japan, but they already had gotten a free goal, so i think that might have played into why it was not called. And yes, a PK would be very nice. Would reyna or donovan take it?
I said nothing about it being high, perhaps you confused mine with another post. I said well placed. It was side netting and about 3/4 the way up.
kicking a football is an art. the guys we see on the field can put whatever arc they want on the ball. it doesn't matter what foot is used,
where they are on the field, etc. if you didn't know this before, please put a cork in it.

We really need some substitutions.
Perhaps you are saying the shot wasn't amazing. Having taken many shots like that, there is nothing the keeper can do but dive and hope it hits the post. WHen you strike a shot thats travelling higher than 70-80 mph....
yay cherundalo is out!
good sub
Well, at least Cherundolo is out, but Beasley and Pope are still in. They took out Mastroeni. Johnson and O'Brien are in
Bam, I called the 3 defenders!
I think it would be crazy to use all 3 subs at halftime, so we'll have to put up with making just one for now.

yes december, I hope we start 3-5-2 though rather than 3-4-3.

ok so if we follow the pattern from this morning, eddie johnson will put in 2 goals and john o'brien will put in another in stoppage time to seal the deal.
Beasley has the worst touch ever, he can't settle a ball for ****
Pope and Beasley should not be out there. What a huge liability both are. Their first touches are horrid.
No, it was an amazing shot. After watching it more, I have decided that he was, in fact, screened and the save would have been nearly impossible.
On to the second half: I love JOB and Johnson. We will score with this lineup. We may give up two or three more goals, but we will score.

that was close. nice cross on the penalty
that injury to koller is huge not only for this game but he isnt able to play the other two that could give us a chance to still come out
if we lose this, we need CR to go undefeated and hope that we are able to squeak one out against italy. We need Koller to be back after this game if we dont pull a miracle finish
you might be right.
We're doing some things that just seem wasteful. A few minutes ago we took a quick free kick backwards and ended up playing it all the way back to the keeper. What's the point in taking a quick free kick then?

yeah our team is playing like it has the lead. there is no sense of urgency whatsoever, and most of our players look like they are tired. They are all moving slowly, if at all, when showing for the ball
