USMNT N+A 2010 World Cup General Discussion Thread [R] - Part 2

lol goalie

 

David Villa=Golden Boot. Holy cow what a goal.

 

1) Why was the goalie out that far?
2) If you come out that far to clear the ball WHY would u keep the ball IN PLAY??

 

What was the keeper thinking?

 

Estrada should be booked and sent off here. Not sure how he's still on the pitch.

 

Foul but embellished.

 

Chile look quite poor so far.

 

I really thought Villa had messed up when I saw him prepare to hit it first time, because it looked like he had time to settle it and make sure. Really nice goal, and really bad goalkeeping.

 

Besides the goal, I actually think they have looked better than spain. They miss a lot in the last third, but they will get one.

Exciting, fast paced match.

 

OT a bit: Just looked up the Jabulani ball on Amazon.com, and here's the first review:

1.0 out of 5 stars WORST BALL EVER, June 21, 2010
By Robert Green "Goalkeeper Extraordinaire" (England) - See all my reviews

This ball is a complete disgrace. I am like the third best goalkeeper in England and I can't even stop this thing. A buddy of mine kicked a slow roller to me and I completely muffed it in front of billions of people. Now people in my country will never forgive me for this. And it wasn't even my fault! IT WAS THE BALL!!! It dipped and swerved and I could only get my fingertips on it. I hate this ball. Now James will be the goalkeeper for England but I bet he can't stop this thing either. It's like impossible.

 

Cue butt-kicking. And Chile's down to 10 as it is. Dear Switzerland: you may want to start playing now.

 

I take back everything I just said.

 

Chile are floundering come on Honduras get some!!!

 

That's a horrible call be the ref, absolutely brutal.

 

Estrada got jobbed, but he still deserved to be sent off for the foul earlier.

 

Classic.

 

Please Switzerland, ignore him.

Chile may be poor, but at least they're entertaining.

The Swiss could field a naked woman next half, and it still may be too boring to watch............

 

We have ourselves a game gents.

 

And Chile was all like, "NUH-UH!"

Merry Christmas. Game back on.

 

Damn... I'm rooting for a Chile tie and Switerland to pull out a win, so Adios Espana.

 

Isn't it about time for Switzerland to pull their GK in favor of an extra skater?

 

All I'm gonna say is this: "I knew it."

 

That was terrible from both teams. Black eye for the game.

 

Wow, Honduras had time to set up a picnic on some of those late chances.

 

Could be. In '98 there was Netherlands-Yugoslavia-Argentina-England. That was pretty tough.
