Post-match: Vincent Kompany post-match tweet.

Always liked Kompany. Powerful clean and smart defender.

 

Classy

 

p.s. go Belgium

 

Screw you Kompany, you should have gotten a red card for that dirty tackle.

 

Very classy that he recognized Howard's performance right after the game. Very cool.

 

Ochoa who?

 

Who gives a ********, seriously?

 

People who respect professional attitudes.

Although, what the hell else could he say?

 

class act, and appreciate the respect

 

He could have not said anything.

 

Howard deserves the praise lord knows, but it still stings to feel like this is shades of Romario praising Keller all over again. (2001?)

 

Kompany was world class. City are Lucky to have him. Would love to have him for Liverpool

 

Other than we won that game, of course.

 

Agreed. Except for that nonsense about Liverpool...

 

Kompany was a beast himself today. Classy shout out to Howard.

I'll be a Belgium fan for the rest of the way.

 

That don't make sense but OK. Kompany could have not said anything. Winning and congrats? I bet you if Belgium lost he wouldn't have said anything. You guys I don't know what to say.

 

I understand your pain. It feels like one of those big brother tousling your hair and saying "get 'em next time, tiger" moments but I prefer to think that he was showing respect to a club and country competitor. He might never see Howard play for our national team again.

 

Howard play exceptional this game even though I am very critical of him, but we don't need Kompany to tell us and even the world what we already know. Howard still isn't as good as Courtois so I don't even know why Kompany even had to say that. Is he saying he rather have Howard then Courtois?

 

Yes. That's what he is saying.

 

What??? What on earth is wrong with him showcasing admiration for a fellow competitor who just played his heart out and put forth a world class game?

 

Well Howard was as good as Courtiois at 1 point in time but t'was the past and the Belgian will probably (or is Hyped to become) the best goalkeeper of his generation. I'm pretty sure Kompany is in awe of Howard. Watch for the next City-Everton match.

 

No, Preki scored; USA won.

Keller/Romario was not 2001 but LA Coliseum 2/10/98; rained heavily Monday and before the game on Tuesday and the rest of the week as well. To say the field was sloppy is to give sloppy credit for being neat. Announced crowd of 10K+; most likely 5-6k, including WCF. Had great seats all game long; could move wherever I wanted.
