USA v Poland, Official In-Game thread {R}

babytiger2001 · Jul 11, 2004

Starting and sticky'ing this early, seeing that I have to drive my wife to work and have a shower as soon as I get home this morning (after all, it is Monday morning here).

Keep all during-the-game discussion in this thread here. No flames, trolls, or spoilers.

Also, for those with AIM, we'll have a chat room going for other in-game and PbP discussion-- just invite yourself to the room called BigSoccer USAvsPoland. (Should that room fill up, we'll start subsequent rooms called BigSoccer USAvsPoland II, and so forth.)

Enjoy the game, everyone!

OK, so that's what it shall be.

I'll edit the threads accordingly.

And for the Poles

Buroc

A problem? Nope! Karl Keller on the other hand...

Actually, I dont have a problem with it, but its not exactly what I was hoping to see.

E Diddy · Jul 11, 2004

No, it's because Armas isn't starting! It IS obvious

Nobody listens to him. heh heh

I haven't bothered to read that thread, so...Score Predictions?

I'm going with 3-1 U.S.

Mcbride adds another, Donovan gets one, and the third will be a pleasant Boca special off a corner.

eejit · Jul 11, 2004

Are there many empty seats??

DutchFootballRulez · Jul 11, 2004

I don't see the problem? What? Boca central? Armas not starting? Josh Wolff starting again?

afgrijselijkheid · Jul 11, 2004

im thinkin' this one could get ugly... 4-0 US

Like you can miss that dude.

Beasley blows a golden chance.

dark knight · Jul 11, 2004

Beasley with scouts in the stands has two chances to cross the ball but both are weak attempts.

dark knight · Jul 11, 2004

Just realized I'm really lagged - Beasley was put through on goal but dithered on the ball and was knocked off the ball before he could get a shot off.

lurking · Jul 11, 2004

Ah, Armas with swelling in the knee. My mind is suddenly less blown.

speedcake · Jul 11, 2004

anyone know what the crowd looks like?

lurking · Jul 11, 2004

Wolff with the dive. F'him, I hate divers.
