OT - USA v. ARG Copa Semi-Final Pre-Game Open Thread

Submitted by Hab on

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.

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.

I am leaving work right at 9 tonight. I have about a 30 minute drive home. Can I find this game anywhere on the radio? I am in Metro Detroit if that makes a difference, I also have Sirus XM. 

 

I am so pumped!

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.

Don't see us possessing the ball much. Not that we were going to much to begin with but this guarantees we wont. Just bunkering, hoping we don't concede and trying to get one late when we sub in another attacker
