    US strategy: run around, make one pass, dribble into four guys and lose the ball.

    I like Edu.

    We should be carving this team out right now. We have so much space. Anyways, I love Ricardo Clark.

    Carlos Ruiz is a dirty player. No cards after twice intentionally elbowing/kicking US players. He should be out of the match. I hope someone from FIFA is watching this game and will take action.

    Ridiculous.

    He's not the kind of guy who would fake something like that, so I guess he must have. The reverse angle though didn't look as bad.

    So...between the elbow to Pierce in the first half and the kick to Timmay, Fish should be headed for the locker room.

    Boy, is it going to be fun watching Bruce Arena trying to coach this guy...

    This is absolutely not a Rico game. He would get a red so quickly.

    You know I saw the 7 different replays and saw no kick....in fact the last angle shows Ruiz with his leg at Howard's midsection and Howard grabbing his head.

    Harkes is an idiot.

    There was one angle that made it very obvious that it was a deliberate kick to the face.

    The ref called the foul on Ruiz. He should at least have a yellow for presistant infringment.

    Incredible by-product of all the Guatemala cheap shit: we're passing the ball like we're about to get fouled a second after we receive a pass. Finally, guys are making the simple pass and killing the game off.
