America, F*CK YEAH!!! - The Other Teams Thread

Lol....

 

It's a beautiful thing.

 

Thought DeMerit did well today too. I remember him giving us a bit of a fight in the FA Cup.

 

Fern, surely these last two games havent made you forget how poor they've been up until Sunday?

Donovan has yet to convince me has the ambition to leave the US and the MLS. He doesn't seem like he wants to leave his comfort zone. He seems more interested in staying put in sunny California with his actress wife and his dogs.

Benny Feilhaber needs another try out. Onyewu, just seems too clumsy for me and is too inconsistent. He busts out with a brilliant game now and then, but he makes howlers more often than not, and is always a red card waiting to happen.

Would love to see Altidore and Adu get picked up by either Fulham or Everton.

 

just saw the replay of the red, he wiped out his ankle first studs up, so closer to a red than I thought, still a yellow for me but I still think it should be a game for men

linesman still had sevearal very bad offsides calls though

 

Is this the best result in United States football?

BRILLIANT!! Spain true to form, I always knew they had it in them, and the Americans gave them a brilliant game

onyewu is good his only problem is he has no composure on the ball and gets scared and makes stupid passes if under any pressure with the ball and gives it away in dumb ways, atleast that's what I remember of him when he was at Newcastle, but then again he was partnered with Titus Bramble so you have to cut him some slack I suppose

 

"Dos - Cero" is all that matters!!!!!!

 

yeh, shocked the world!!!

 

That was not a happy day for me. Thanks for bringing up memories I've tried to suppress.

 

More power to the Yanks! Excellent achievement!!

 

Hey, Portugeezer...how do you feel about this guy???













- just kidding!!!

 

ZOMG!!!! Randy, are you a "Spazzo"???









I kid, I kid...

Damn, I'm in rare form today!

 

That's cold blooded man.

 

Awesome game...amazing game...brilliant game....man, that was AMAZING.

 

Spain played like absolute ShevShit. Especially at the back , Casillas had a shocker .

Nothing taken away from the US though , i wish my boy Harry Kewell could pull some magic

 

Excellent result for the US. Reminded me of Nigeria vs Spain in WC. Lots of tension back and forth shifts in control of game culminating in the amazing winner by Sunday Oliseh.

Great performance from the backline and Howard, bullshit red card though.

I'll still take Portugal, Mexico and Germany fron '02 even it was a loss in the end.

 

I know it's just the Confederations Cup but that was great. Hopefully this will carry on to the World Cup!

 

Great game, great grit and spirit, great result.



Going back to the previous thread though...

Football mostly IS and most definitely SHOULD BE about skill and intelligent play more than simple speed and athleticism. If that means the game's development continues to be stifled in certain parts of the world, then so be it.

 

No, it should be developed all over the world so some of these amazing athletes can learn skill and intelligent play. Skills can be taught. Speed and size can't.

If Africa as a whole can get a great development program off the ground, it will be great for soccer. They have already made great strides in Nigeria, Ivory Coast and other African countries in developing great talent. I would love to see more players like Essien and Drogba who play in ways that honestly we have hardly seen before.
