The official "Pulling for USA to make it through the group" thread

[Ricboff]

They are still sitting good right? Portugal has no chance to advance at 4 points because of goal differential and Ghana can only get to 4 and they are down in goal differential as well. So if ghana, portugal and US finish at 4, US should advance unless they get drilled by Germany.

they are in good shape. They control their own destiny. It's NOT a nothing game for Germany, tho-they don't have 1st place sealed.

Simple question. Why wasn't every single us player back with 30 seconds left with a 1 goal lead?

Bradley turned the ball over too on that goal. fucking unreal how unfocused he played today.

the nonchalant shot with the goalie out of the net was just as bad. hammer it home!

bradley turned it over. all he had to do was kick the fucking ball into the stands! this old bald guy on espn is the only one who pointed this out and criticized them.

I really don't understand that in a situation like that, why not basically play with 3 goalies. I know Howard is the only 1 that can use his hands but alot of shots on goal are light misdirection kicks or headers. Howard could play in the middle and have a defender guarding each posts.

Yeah I saw that. Almost unbelievable how Bradley reacted when the ball came his way. Like he was playing soccer with a 5 year old that he wanted to take the ball from him to make the kid feel good.

you can't stay back like that cause then they would have more room

i think the US players assumed the game was essentially over and were caught standing flat footed because that shit head turned the ball over! Then pass pass goal.

From 100% to 76% with 20 seconds left in stoppage time. So sick.

i just saw bradley get interviewed and i could be mistaken but i think he said "the ball turned itself over!"

is he serious? douche.

i guess the ball missed the goal twice too on his shots.

quirky ass ball.

[IMISREMEMBER]

I thought when color commentator added that usa coach has done all the right things and should be applauded he cocked my bet they scored when he finished statement.

 

[slapshot]

Bradley getting a lot of flack for his miss played ball but what was 2 Yedlin a D sub doing taking the ball into the box his shot blocked then

couldn't hold the ball at the flag and gives up the throw in that end up in the old onion bag 32 seconds later hno:
