uncool2pillow Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Maybe the most important victory for US men's soccer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IATTBYB Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I just saw the highlights on ESPN. All I have to say is it's better to be lucky than good sometimes . . . and have a brickwall guarding the ol' onion bag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getchoo Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 well, i´m a spaniard. And although we´ve missed SO many chances, you deserved it, clearly. Spanish media thought we could win the match even without get out to the grass, and we paid our air of self-satisfaction. Good luck on the next sunday . I hope with this really unexpected defeat our players are going back to the path of success: humbleness and hard work Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I didn't get a chance to see the match, and didn't find out the result until I got home around 8 PM from a very long day. Then I went to bed early out of exhaustion and missed SportsCenter. Hopefully I'll be able to catch some highlights somewhere online. Good for the U.S. -- I've been down on this team for a while, and didn't give them a snowball's chance in hell of beating Spain, which is why I didn't track the score from work yesterday. I fully expected to hear of a 4-0 blowout with a total collapse of the U.S. defense. Imagine my surprise... It'd be lovely to see a U.S.-South Africa final, but my money's on Brazil ... and I don't expect the Americans to duplicate yesterday's success against the Samba Kings.

bobbob1313 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 How the hell is the US doing this? I've never been excited about a soccer game like this. Wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 This kind of recalls the US hockey team almost 30 years ago. Shit, I almost wrote twenty years and then I realized it was a longer ago than that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

suites Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 tough loss.....hard to hold on against those guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 If there's a silver lining to this loss, it's that we won't have to hear the Brazilians bitching about the goal they were robbed of. (Which, incidentally, they were definitely robbed of -- it was clearly all the way across the line before Howard batted it up into the crossbar.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(Which, incidentally, they were definitely robbed of -- it was clearly all the way across the line before Howard batted it up into the crossbar.)That's a good point, a missed call for sure, but a difficult one. I had to see about 4 angles before I was convinced it went in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I missed the first half of the game so was amazed at the score. Seemed like Brazil just dominated the 2nd half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Brazil definitely played the Red Baron to our Snoopy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
