Match 22 - Slovenia vs USA - 18th June - PbP and Post Match Discussion

somebody SHOOT FFS!

 

gol gol goooooooooooooooooool slovenia

 

OMG. It's over.

 

Oh well.

I guess I can go back to rooting for the Netherlands now.

Good no-call on the offsides. Watching it live, I thought his might have been off but he was good.

Congrats Slovenia.

 

Wtf usa!!??

 

Ha. My boss, who's also watching it, is a huge hockey fan and just said, "they're like the New York Rangers! they don't shoot!"

 

We just look much slower than SVN. Like they've got cement in their cleats

 

Football is a cruel sport.

Typical USA. Good performances against the traditional big sides and poor against other average sides. Disappointing.

 

USA have to hope for an Algeria win or Slovenia to continue their form vs. England. wow. did not expect that.

 

That's what happens when you don't score. And the offside trap didn't really work. You can only hope for a draw in this one but your players need to calm down, they're rushing things which makes them lose possession.

 

So, how long till Bradley is replaced? God I can't wait.

 

I thought this would be a tight match and USA would take it 1 : 0

Bloody hell.

Slovenia look really good though, great goals and defense doing their job.

 

Slovenia beating Russia was no fluke boys.

As a regular follower of SerieA Handanovic is a top keeper too, he'll be tough to beat.

 

This results gifts England into the second round, since Slovenia will have the group locked up and won't care about that game.

 

Slovenia pulls out the "Dos a Cero" on USMNT, biggest mental test of Team USA now coming up.

 

I'm gonna do my best to watch England vs. Slovenia. That's gonna be VERY interesting.

 

Wow, US comes up small again.
It's obvious that the opposition knows to pressure the US ball handler immediately, while the US seems to give their man 5 yards. The US have to learn how to pass, move without the ball and to try going up the wings now and again. Why oh why do they constantly go up the middle?????

I can't even be happy about Spain. Damn, this sucks.

 

2-0 is a dangerous lead to have at half time!

 

SVN is playing great soccer and it looks like they'll advance but they need a new celebration dance.

 

Yeah, and team Russia are no joke!!

 

absolute crap.
