USA vs. Algeria: Post-game Analysis

Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. No one can say we didn't deserve that.


Group winners. I ********ing love it. I'll save real analysis for when I'm less jacked up.

 

This team is gonna kill me.

But not today!

 

so happy im sporting my soccer scarf go usa

 

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooo!!!!

 

I'm gonna go hang up the flag in front of the house.

 

I am friggin shaking right now!

 

The best US World Cup game ever...............I am so happy...........Wow....Talking about coming back from death....Algeria and Slovenia suck big time today...

 

My heart can't take anymore games like this, and I'm only 25.

Also, group C winners, most points in group stage since 1930, 7th ever WC win.

 

Awesome awesome game but Bradley did not coach the right game. Buddle should've started and a goal in the 90+ minute does not mean it was a brilliantly coached game.

 

We have the early Fourth Of July....Go, USA!

 

I now know the emotion that the guy crying in the stadium at the last game had. That has never happened to me before.

 

Well derserved win. WOOT

 

Tell me about it, 20 shots, 8 on goal, and only the last one went in.

 

Why do we have to wait til the very last moment. I like drama but damn....I think I almost died today!

Thank You USMNT

 

Altidore and Landon are MOTM...

 

I know there was debate about the Beasley inclusion, but I think this was exactly the right situation for him to come in. Late game, needing to take chances.

 

Buddle didn't play well. Gomez was OK. The Feilhaber sub was great, the defensive shuffling worked as well as could be expected, the team played the right type of game and stayed mentally strong throughout. What more can the man do to please some of you guys?

 

I literally have tears coming down my face right now. The amount of pride I have for those players in South Africa is overwhelming. They represent EVERY F**CKING THING I stand for as an American. I couldn't be happier.

 

Analysis...

JOY

 

It's never-say-die attitude that got us through...

 

One small step for the US side, one giant leap for the country's interest and appreciation of the beautiful game. This match result is so powerful in so many ways!

 

Altidore and Cherundolo for me (probably should have had 1-2 assists today). DeMerit honorable mention.
