World Cup Open Thread Day 13 (not 12)- Go USA, Advance!

Submitted by M-Wolverine on

I think we had 2 day 8's, so even though yesterday was "Day 11", since it started on Friday, this would actually be Day 13. Big USA game vs. Algeria to seal the advancing to the next round...and hopefully an insignificant England/Slovenia game at the same time.  

USA, USA, USA!!!

Being from South America, the team I usually root for is Brazil, but I was really pulling for the USA to advance. They deserved it, and really got screwed too many times by referees.

Way to go!

Serbia(3pts) plays Australia and Germany(3pts) plays Ghana(4pts). Gun to my head I guess Ghana might be the best matchup for us. I certainly don't want to play the Germans this early. Ghana has the weakest back four of the 3 teams. All 3 have quality midfielders. Serbia is weak upfront. And the Germans have the best all around squad. So yeah I think Ghana is who we want. Let's settle a score against those bastards from last WC!

But while he impressed me all game with his intelligence both on and off the ball, he made a mistake late in the game when Buddle had the ball near the end line to the left of the goal.  Had Jozy helld up his run and occupied some empty space at the edge of the 6-yd box, he'd have had an open net (which hopefully, he would have capitalized upon.)  He kept running to the line and left Buddle with no angle to cross. 

But he's still a kid.  Overall, Jozy played out of his socks and looks like someone that might develop into a real star for the U.S.
