PBP: USA-NZL Oly group game (Aug 12)

morning *yawns*

 

Whoa! way to shut down the kiwi attack!

 

Boy, I'm glad I didn't hit the snooze button again. Liked how the goal was a couple seconds after comment that along the lines of "the US has to come out and show that they're the aggressor." HAO with the fastest goal in Olymipic women's soccer history!

 

I'm back just in time to see O'Reilly score. Great. I'll save complaints for later.

Ok, it is later I've got better things to do than read through the threads I've missed over the last three days 'cause I was out of town but why haven't we seen anyone but Boxx & Lloyd?

 

Does the scouting report say shoot from as far away as possible as quickly as possible?

 

Boxx and Lloyd again?

Glad the US is looking better this game. They've had more decent shots on net in the first ten minutes of this game than they have the entire Olys.

 

Good teamwork by Buehler and Rampone.

 

Damn BS. Others were getting server busy messages as well, right?

 

Well, that 20min "the servers are busy" note was great. One day, if I get a better paying job, I might just pay the fee but not today.

The NZ coach is making me laugh. (I'm watching online and can hear all his 'instructions' -- including the "you're an animal. go get her"

eta: grammar... can't believe I made that mistake. Let's all pretend it is just b/c it is early.

 

Sometimes, Lloyd just plays maditor defense.

 

Glad to know that I wasn't the only one unable to get on the board.

The girls may be passing more, but once they hit the box, they don't seem to know what to do with the ball. Boxx has got to stop taking so many useless outside shots. And they have to stop long-balling it.
