World Cup Open Thread Day 13 (not 12)- Go USA, Advance!
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!!!
STICK IT IN STICK IT IN!
Unfuckingbelieveable!!!!!!
GGGGGOOOOAAAALLLL!!!!
FUCK YEAH UUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSAAAAAAAAAA#1

Algeria corner, Algeria foul, Algeria yellow card #2, 4 sent off.

This ref seems to be intent on making up for that disallowed goal in the first half.
Commence meltdown for Algeria
WOO HOO! We're through!
Don't Tread On Us!!!!
We win the group
HOLYSHITICANTBELIEVEIT90THMINUTEUSAFTW!
GLORY HALLELUJAH
OOOOH ESSS AHHH
They never gave up. They trusted their instincts.
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!
How I feel....
Well, that was brilliant. Now I guess we're all Germany fans for the afternoon?
Only way we get Germany is in the event of a Ghana/Germany draw, and even then we'd get Ghana instead if Serbia wins.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
who cares if I'm late that was incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm ecstatic we won, but almost as happy I don't have to carry a deep-seated hateful grudge against FIFA referees for four years.
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.
Anyone watching this Germany game?
serbia almost stuck another in their to pass ghana
time for revenge on ghana for 2006
