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!!!
I don't understand all the hype around him. If he isn't given the perfect setup he is basically worthless. Just doesn't seem to have the grasp for the game that you would expect from someone of his stature.
Played like a very rich man's Emile Heskey today - he was teriffic in maintaining possession, playing intelligently, and using pace and touch to set up attacks.
But he lost his composure in front of the goal, and as a striker, that's his job.
He still had a teriffic game, and set up the game-winner. I was a doubter before this match, but I now think Jozy's got a bright future. Just needs to develop some calm nerves in front of the goal.
Dempsey's getting chances.
come on
FG from the 6. Should have put that one in.
If the goal were 10 feet high, that shot from the 6 would have gone in. U.S. missing a lot of great chances.
Damn, Jozy's miss was almost as bad as Yakubu's miss yesterday.
Yakubu's miss was as bad as Rob Green's. Maybe worse, because it kept Nigeria from advancing.
USA defense is horrible.
we should be up at least 1-0
I think we might win this one.
Just what I needed to boost the halftime spirit
C'mon USA#1
Not Holden? Bradley must not like Buddle and Holden as much as the rest of us.
Does anyone know where I can find a stream for the England match? The ESPN stream is completely blocked up with traffic

Dempsey hit the post!!!
How is that possible!
This is quite the choke-job so far.
on wide open nets. They honestly don't deserve to go. That's the honest truth. I think that the pressure is getting to them.
Someone score a goal please!!!!
really a fuckin yellow for that
Does anyone else feel like the refs are playing a little too fast and loose with the cards this cup?
Buddle for Edu
Holy handgrenades Batman!
im losing hope
bad!!!! Can't get a decent shot in the 2nd half. It's killing me.
Lets get it!
Damn
Nice acting job by Altidore.
Jesus this reminds me of the UM vs Miami Oh Hockey gm. Its killin me
Just outside the box. Put it home! PLEASE!?!?
Im not really sure why but i love this guy. Hopefully he can do somethin.
Uncalled elbow to Dempsey's chops. Fucking figures.
Half-back, passes to center, passes to wing, back to center... holds it... holds it... holds it...
