Thad Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 If Ghana can do this to the Czechs whats taht say about the US wow we wont score and we wont come close to a win. I think the Ghana team just came out to play and their opponents didn't. Kind of like what happened to the Americans monday. The Republic wasn't as good as they looked on Monday just because the US wasn't playing to win, it looked like they were playing for the tie. That same reason is why the US isn't as bad as they looked on Monday.

SDX Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Very Poor performance from the Czechs today, if you can get a result from tonights match then you have a very good chance of qualifying. This group is by far the most interesting so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Well look at this, USA is actually playing like they know they're in the World Cup. They've had some damn good chances, compared to Italy, who currently have had none through the first 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJMorris3 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Still waiting for an American to score.Maybe one will this game, now that Italy is down a man?(Just as an explanation, the goal that the USA scored was an own goal on Zaccardo. So no American has scored yet.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 The bastard elbowed McBride!!! Hell yeah send him off But will is right, maybe they can score again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Wait a sec... Lippi, what are you thinking getting rid of Totti?Side note: This is the first time the United States has been tied in a World Cup game in Europe, other than 0-0. They've yet to lead a World Cup game in Europe.EDIT: Mastroeni gone? Darn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 That was BS. If that tackle warranted a red card as much as De Rossi's elbow did, then I'll eat my shoe. That was BS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Agreed. The ref just wanted to even up sides... why? I don't know, although America isn't the most beloved nation in the world, so that might have something to do with it.

Saintsfan Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 The pope sending off was a bit harsh, but the others were both fair. Mastroeni went straight at the Italians ankles with the ref standing right next to him!

jkrdevil Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 You can't screen the Goalie in Soccer? Or was there something else on that play that made it illegal and wiped out the US goal?To me not being able to screen the goalie is stupid. It not like you are actually interfereing with him.

The goal was wiped out for off side. the USA player was in an offside position, and the linesman decided he was active in the play. Another controversial call though! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 For my money, USA v Italy was the best game of the World Cup so far, definitly for the first 70 minutes. Bith teams seemed to lose there legs in the last 20 minutes, but before that it was fantastic! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 1-1 Final. The US played extremely better than before. Way to bounce back, although a win would've been nice.The ref was horrible, it was like all o f a sudden he didn't want to give out cards, nor fouls, after he was so quick to the first 60 minutes of the game. I agree with Marcello Balboa, this guy might get sent home by FIFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be able to, normally. But McBride was in an offside position, and since he was "involved" in the play by screening the goalie, that made the play offside.
