I don't think anyone can say England would have won...... however, i don't think anyone can say they would not have won...... that was a huge goal that was disallowed... 2-2 with all of the momentum is much much much much much different than 2-1 and deflated over a bad call...... Fact is, if that game is tied 2-2, it is a coin flip game at that point...... anybody who argues that is full of it! |

I'll eat my own testacles if Spain is in the Finals...... Spain will be lucky to win 1 more game in this tourney... and it will take a lot more than luck for them to win 2 more games... 3 more games? not a chance! |

3-0 is the scenario that would be most likely to kill you...... but obviously that is the gamble...

Well, the alternative is that soccer can continue to be a joke and not a real sport....... |

They added 3 minutes at the end, but Timkoon took 3:30 between laying on the field and then walking slowly across it for his substitution... and there were far more flops than just that one.
If they are going to let it play out that way, then either Red Card for the bullshit, or calculate the stoppage time correctly....... otherwise I vote Golden Goal...... |

Why? What we saw today is always what happens and always what will happen....... I would have rather seen the game end on that goal that to end the way it did... that was disgraceful! |

Ghana made the most of theirs, USA didn't. |

I understand where you're coming from, Source... the two goals they gave up were both inexcusable........ but I agree with Bollox on this! USA had enough defense to win this match... but it was once again the plethora of missed chances that lost it for them. They should have scored 3 in that second half the way they were pressuring them, but they don't have players who understand how to score goals... Think about that 2nd goal from Ghana (in extra time)...... that was a goal from someone who knows how to put the ball on net when he has the chance...... now think about the blown chance by Findley, or the missed chances by Altidore and Dempsey in the 2nd half....... You have to find a way to convert those...... the defensive mistakes were costly, but they lost this game due to lack of finishers, pure and simple! If the USA wants to close the gap in this sport, they need to put together a team with more than one finisher. |

Love Uruguay! This should be a mismatch......
DiverRon nailed it on the head... USA dominated the goal-scoring chances against Ghana, but because Altidore, Findley and Dempsey can't finish to save their lives, they are going home...... you can't win in the WC when only one guy on the team understands how to finish...... Uruguay is a different animal....... |
