***USA vs. Portugal World Cup in game thread***

[Dirty Sanchez]

Phone call.
This is Mr. President. Tell your boys to back-down!
USA! USA! USA!

That wouldn't happen...dude is too busy playing golf

[thesaint]

William carvalho in the game now, dudes a beast, bradleys gonna find it tough through the middle now

[Mac4Lyfe]

US defenders suck. Can't clear a head cold.

[jazzdrum78]

clearly havent seen that nani dropped back to rm, ronaldo has moved much more central, but keep believing that the pregame lineup is set in stone and no tactical flexibility occurs throughout the game

dude whether its 442 433, it is meaningless .. they are playing loosely, no real formation .. they are looking for a counter .. so get off the high horse

[The Giant]

Portugal has a team of very handsome players.

Does anyone know if they model during the off-season?

[ImNotSnoopy]

Hi there, well I've been looking at this site for some time now and I just saw this topic... Since I'm Portuguese it seemed like a good time to sign up ahah
Well, my heart belongs with portugal and I acctually do think that they'll win. USA is playing far better than I expected but, still, don't let that great USA mid 1st half fool you...We tend to have this "down-moments" as a team...

This referee is very pro Portugal. That water break was called to give Portugal a blow.
USA had a great break and blow it. Sheesh

ronaldo is a fudge packer !!!

[jazzdrum78]

USA looks tired and out of energy

[TheCentaur]

Holy shit

[The Giant]

Highway robbery!!!

[crustyme]

omg... what a choke.

it does make a difference tho....
too much space in between the lines with a 442, theyve gone back to a 433 now by putting in carvalho, problem is ronaldo does 0 defensive work and the states now have so much space down the right flank

[new era]

Come on... no Goalkeeper and still can't score.

[alamo]

What a miss !

[jazzdrum78]

penetrate you Bradley

[d2bets]

Dude thought he had an open net and didn't need to do anything. Should have put that in easy.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Johnson has been outstanding for the US...dude has been motoring down that right side killing Portugal

[Cuse0323]

Takes skill to blow that, wide open...let's chip it right at the defender.

[Coach Potato]

lol should have scored

It makes a difference but these Portuguese play loosely is what I'm trying to convey

[ImNotSnoopy]

ronaldo is a fudge packer !!!

Portugal isn't a one man team. And he's still better than anyone you've got

[bruins35]

Portugal isn't a one man team. And he's still better than anyone you've got

i am not from usa and you are correct !!!

[jazzdrum78]

Did you guys see how Nani hugged Bradley!! I think he whispered in Portuguese, "Thank you baby for not scoring empty net".

[Dirty Sanchez]

lol should have scored

Potato head your boy probably not gonna get his hat trick...but his hair looks really nice today

[horja1]

not a good WC for Ronaldo

[d2bets]

What the....serious?

[The Giant]

Ronaldo wasn't even close.



That was the equivalent of Lebron shooting a airball from the free-throw line.

[crustyme]

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!

usa usa usa usa!

[Mac4Lyfe]

Woohoo, way to go Jones. Awesome shot.

[TheCentaur]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Get it get it get it!

[brooks85]

[Cuse0323]
