Taylor Swift

Should have scored.

We doing the gamethread in here?

We'll lose a lot, but there will be some new fans. It's a slow growth. I agree. You'll lose some of the casuals who are there in bars once every four years, but you'll have the hearts of all the young kids who saw Donovan's last minute winner, and they'll grow up to be real fans in the next decade.

You're a Tigers fan? tough life

It's much easier to develop your basketball skills in American than your football skills. They've got rims every where and street ball exists in every city. It's just like the Brazilians and how the kids play football on the streets. Any good, athletic American kid is drafted into his JV/Varsity basketball/american football teams and that's it, there's no chance to develop them into a good footballer. I also think the fact that they've got to be drafted and shit, and thus not allowing professional teams to develop their own talent from a young age (like 12 or 13, like it is in Europe) means the quality of the players is much lower than you'd expect from a country with such a large population and good sporting infrastructure.

Shit, I thought that was in.

This kind of un-sporting behaviour isn't just practised by the African teams :sorry: Well, duh. Though to be fair, this is even worse than Mourinho time-wasting tactics. Not even close, man The shit Inter pulled in the CL was another level of unsporting shit. They started wasting time after 10 minutes!

They can't do that. When you buy tickets, you get a seat/row/area, and you get to choose where you want to sit. I'm guessing the empty seats are the ones behind the goals.

Donovan has been pretty decent so far. He's kept possession well and created space for his teammates.

Quality.

Just a brain and we'll have something. FYP.

I thought Appiah's knees were fucked or something.

Man, the US are playing pretty well, aren't they?

Why the fuck have Ghana decided to drop back and defend deeper in this half? Someone check to make sure Joe Kinnear isn't there.

Altidore

Altidore is slower than Shola. Donovan's touches are excellent.

He looks relieved more than happy

Awesome pen.

PELANTTY!

Altidore is such a lazy cunt. He should have been on the end of that cross.

Feilhaber should have started.

Much, much better.

Someone should tell the Americans that they're going to be out in 45 minutes unless they start running.

Why is Findley, the man who hasn't scored an international goal, starting?

Should have scored!
