OT - USA v. ARG Copa Semi-Final Pre-Game Open Thread
Kickoff is at 9:00 pm EST.
I know few around the boards are soccer (sack-ah) followers. For those that are, you're undoubtedly aware of the Men in Blazers. For those who aren't, they are pundits that take a borderline satirical approach to reporting on the game and state of the sport in the US by combining American enthusiasm for all things American with the other football and throw in an excessive dose of hyperbole.
All that to say, the US are facing Argentina, and though I fully expect the US squad to get torched, I would suggest for those who aren't fans of the sport, give this one a watch, it promises to feature "the Best Player in the World against the Best Player in the World named Kyle."
-- Suggestion for I believe Brian who hates the 1-10 rankings after soccer matches, I'm with you in loathing those rankings. I far prefer more subjective metrics: England are Pants.
POST ALL OF THE GIFS!!
U.S. beef is thicker and meatier!

Over 20 responses in and nobody has felt the urge to chip in with the obligatory "I hate soccer" comment in the middle of a clearly labled thread about soccer.
They're slipping.
One of the things I love about Messi is he really doesn't go down without major contact. Always tries to stay up and keep fighting.

Going to a local soccer bar with some friends, got a feeling it's going to be a shitshow. Can't wait.

WTF
Wondo is my least favorite USMNT player ever. No clue why he is still on the roster.

he just watched the ball while the guy ran right past him. He is awful.
Every USMNT fan online was basically pleading with Jurgen not to start Wondo and Beckerman. If I wasn't at work, I'd photoshop the trollface onto Klinsmann's head right now.
