SRBI · 06-18-10, 10:44 AM

LB what happened bro why aren't you posting plays in your thread?

bballs84 · 06-18-10, 10:50 AM

What the hell was the ref looking at on that 3rd goal...

lakerboy · 06-18-10, 10:52 AM

Well good job by the USA in coming back but like i said they wouldnt win.

spartangreen · 06-18-10, 10:52 AM

exactly this is technically a win for Slovenia for being the 'underdogs'

Can't the 'favorites' win 1 game comfortably without so much drama?

bballs84 · 06-18-10, 10:55 AM

Game should have been a win 3-2....

sjm5122 · 06-18-10, 10:58 AM

Shame after the reffing had been so good in the early going. I find it ridiculous that the US coach said after the game that he, nor the players still had any idea why the goal was disallowed. Joke.

Oh like the handball they called on Findley early on after the ball hit him the face... Reffing was awful throughout

Dark Horse · 06-18-10, 11:06 AM

The third goal was disallowed for strange reasons. But Altidore was flopping all over the place. Does he understand how ridiculous that looks for such a large player? That's how he won the free kick that resulted in the disallowed goal.

JOHON8 · 06-18-10, 11:11 AM

Slovenia fell asleep after 2-0, that Donavan goal should of been shutdown by the defenders adn the goalie should've kept his hands up instead of moving away from the ball... same could be said about the 2nd goal.

USA probably qualifies now but whoever they meet in the round of 16 won't fall asleep after pounding them.

Yeah??? With the help of the ref on a BOGUS offside call??? It would have been 3-2. Go back and look at the replay and tell me where was the offside?

Oh well, that was a great effort for us to come back and tie.

Yes... I do my friend... but when you're talking about national pride (as in true soccer fans would know) it's a different story.

It's not the same as betting against the Texans when they play Colts.

In any case, the US was lucky to come back from two down. They were outplayed in the 1H, and it is unusual, at this level, for the type of opportunistic kick-and-rush soccer they played in the 2H to be successful. There was no build-up. It was long hauls forward and hope for the best. (And Altidore flopping to get free kicks around the penalty box). Slovenia had the game but forgot about the US spirit. A draw is the right result.

Socrates · 06-18-10, 11:27 AM

As our rival I want them to do bad, but meh, I for the most part could care less.

The U.S. is overrated though. The books thought the U.S. was going to dominate. A draw was about right.

Bad calls both ways, Dempsey played for free and that goal the U.S. scored recieved a bad call, although the goal came much after the whistle was blown.

The only disgrace in this match are Americanos! All the americanos here on sbr were going huge on USA and their -1 lines.. now what? You blame it on referee, but what's up with all those tackles with elbows etc??? You didn't see that, did you? stupid americanos. Why do you even bother betting on soccer, go bet on stupid wrestling... that's the shows how smart(stupid) americanos are, watching (Fixed) sports.

lakerboy · 06-18-10, 11:31 AM

Like I said good job the usa to come back and congrats on another draw. Why does it matter where I am from. I wanted the usa to lose or draw this game and I stated that when I started this thread. Too many americans getting worked up when someone says anything about there awful soccer team. Relax and enjoy the next game. Can't see how they don't beat algeria. Bottomline is i won this thread.

Dempsey's dirty elbow in the beginning warranted a red card.

What do you have to say about his dirty disgraceful elbow, and the fact that he played for free the entire match?

He's from Slovenia, and he's been kind enough to educate us about that team. Probably the most underrated of the tournament, if you would have seen the pretournament futures...

Wow, must be some hard feelings after Slovenia shit the bed in the 2nd Half and made themselves look retarded.

I'll challenge you anyday in soccer betting.

Exactly. That was red. And a European ref would have given it. Because they know that trick. This guy had probably never seen it.

i blame the ref? yes, as the game should of ended 3-2 not 2-2, besides coming back form 2-0 isnt easy but i do agree that USA didn't play well, i cant see why they start with a 4-4-2, i think there more comfortable in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. Now i know its a world cup and all but id much rather of had Egypt and Russia in for Slovenia and Algeria both of which will be happy to go home with a point.

They don't play good football, just defend, foul defend foul defend foul, i hate that type of football
