T think "rather bad" hardly describes the defense. The commentators stated the american keeper blocked 50 shots on goal. 50. That's way too many.
I think....

I was trying to stay positive. We all saw the game.

I think I'm sad I had to miss the game.
Whilst the defence wasn't the best we'll ever see, it wasn't as bad as it could have been and when they were undone, it was by some very neat play.
Tim Howard has been playing at the very top level for many years - anyone who watches the EPL on a regular basis will know just how good he is. The same can be applied to Beazley and Dempsey.
For a nation that has not been brought up on football, the USA did extremely well and I can see some of the players getting enquiries from a number of clubs around the world on the back of this tournament.
In the interests of disclosure, I rather needed the USA to reach the semi-finals; I've got a bet with a sports presenter over there and I've now got to cough up...
(it won't be financial, which is more of a worry...) On the brighter side, the USA got further than an awful lot of teams that were being tipped to go beyond the group stages

I think I agree. The quality of play that helped Belgium win was good. We really struggled to control even the most simple of passes...
And on the whole, I think the play overall has been a little down. Even the powers that you expect to play 'the beautiful game' have looked less than impressive...

Agreed. For a rather new country to the sport I am very proud of them. My team is still in but its nice to know home can do some good work.

I think players that are part of teams in the top European divisions are having to play too many games in a season - it can be as many as 60 in some cases and this might be one factor in the general lack of sharpness. The big factor is the climate.
I think I've worked out which your "other team" is....

I think I see your point. At the highest levels week in and week out, combined with nagging and serious injuries and the pressure of the 'friendly's' played as a roll up to the Cup, and I can see how they get worn down and burned out.

I like both and then some. Football is like hockey just with no ice to me. Rugby is the shit though!

I think Hockey is far more dangerous - unless you are playing against a football team that has Suarez in it....

No...I cannot deal with a game ending in a tie. Drives me batshit crazy, and that's a short drive to begin with!!
I think my comment might get me in trouble around here. But I don't watch baseball or basketball, either. Give me some good competitive synchronized swimming, though, and I'm glued to the set!

We all know our limits. Thanks for telling us yours. Just kidding. I can deal with tie games. You just need to adapt. Its like how no one but the U.S. uses feet. Adapt baby!

*looks around...I have no idea who that is. I had to look up Tim Howard earlier, too. Seriously, I'm at a loss....I think I'm out of my league!

He's the player that got sent home and banned for 4 months for taking a bite out of an Italian player

Oh, right, right, right! "I think" I remember hearing about that! See? I'm not under a rock after all!

Not strictly true. Although the UK is supposedly metric, most of the population still measure in miles, yards, feet and inches. I'm of the age where we were taught both at school, as a result I'm expert in neither - fractions of an inch are much harder to deal with than millimetres; whereas Miles and yards are much simpler than kilometres and metres...
I think I must be hard of thinking...

Far be it from me to suggest such a thing... I'm not that stupid...

I like my most sports. Hockey is far less dangerous than American football and football is less dangerous than that. Unless you count the hitting and head butting. (Smh)

We played hockey when I was at school - more serious injuries sustained in those games than any other - 99% of them of the "stick connecting with opposing player's head" type...
American football is similar to rugby in as much as they are both games of two teams of big lads chasing an egg-shaped ball around a park - American footballers' wear a ton of padding, cages and helmets, rugby players wear shorts and a jersey. I think I know which is the most dangerous of those two

I played hockey and football myself. Rugby defiantly beats both as far as injuries. Never doubted you for a sec. Rugby is actually my favorite sport of the three.

Heh! Oddly enough, rugby was the only game where I didn't pick up an injury - took a hockey stick to the chin and had various minor sprains and twists in football...
