Nakazawa at 5'6", 120 lbs shows why soccer is a game of skill, spirt, and character, not size (no Viagra jokes, please ).
Hopefully not. The biggest difference is still not apparent to most. NoKo played much better than given credit for. They preassured the US far more than Italy. Of course our boys are playing better, but the truth is, they didn't play that poorly against NoKo. OK the GK still is poor
the world still cant comprehend that we can play soccer, and looseing to a nation that "cant play" just pisses them off to the point of loosing it. Its crazy how much talent is in the US "pipeline" now a days
De Silvestri (2nd yellow) and Foti are out for the game against North Korea; however, unless they get another red that is it, because only those two had yellows comming in.
Horrible goal for Italy. Floated ball from 40 yard FK skips in when Reukner thought it would go wide. UGGHHH!!
Do we have another keeper? I am not one to criticize a sixteen year old. However, I think it would be beneficial if we could see someone else back there. I have seen two big mistakes from the keeper this tournament that should be easily correctable.
I think that kick was slightly deflected by the wall. It might have gone in anyway, but it "slowed" down a touch. Refering to the US second goal of course....
