World Cup 2014

Deuce ready to throw down now

sometimes to get the ball "in the goal" you have to think "outside the box" - what if all the US players link arms and form a circle around the ball so the other team can't reach it? is this legal, and if so could they just do that for the remaining 55 minutes or so? might be a really innovative and noble way to win

Is it still possible to bring on Landon Donovan

they could all fart too

a ring of farts

P sure the Italians tried that in the 80s

I like this - to think outside the box you have to square the circle

usa very bunched up down the middle, they may well be on their way to karl's innovative technique

US looking some way short of good right now. Bradley in particular having a stinker, can't seem to do anything useful with the ball at all.

both sides pretty sloppy to this point

dunno what atsu keeps crossing it for, cut in bro

this ghana kit is sustaining me through the dark, dark night tbrr

nice collar v good stuff

all that effort from gyan to keep it in..

just me or do the USA possibly not like it up 'em?

this has been a great world cup for giving the stare of death to the ref after a blatant foul, maybe the best ever

if baseball players played soccer there'd be 14 severe injuries by now, all of them with possible tommy john surgeries in the near future

tasty challenge

If someone were to do a compilation of all the dreadful corners from this tournament, it would go on for ages.

keep thinking this is cobi jones

players who don't sing their national anthem deserve to be kicked in the nose imo

terrible first touch on wing even worse finish

Ghana should've forced a save there, at the least

ineptitude just getting irritating now

jesus ghana are bobbns in the last third. tea cups need to be thrown.

wonder if Savage was kicked into the co-commentary bcz of his 'argument' w/Henry last night.

US can't leave this space on the flanks vs Portugal surely?

ffs Jermaine Jones get it together man...

DeMarcus Beasley is quite terrible.

seems a bit mean keeping henry & seedorf up for this, more of a claridge & rosenior gig

well that turned into a whole lot of faffing about

hopefully things will tighten up in the 2nd half?

When was Beasley transformed into a left back anyway? Only know him as winger when at PSV.

that was great when Muntari almost punched Jones

nothing more fun than watching the game with a bunch of maroons opining on how it's good that the US are doing so well since all the kids play soccer now

smdh

stfu everyone that was a great first half

v impressed with yank movement. drilled far better than England. Ghana wasteful, not calling it tbh.

ref excellent, Portuguese match official take note.

Beas has been playing there since JK came on board pretty much

And srsly if you think he's bad you should see the other left backs

*tries to remember other MLS left-backs*

Tony... Beltran?

I enjoyed that, wtf is going with US right hand side tho?

Ever heard of Heath Pearce? Right

Surely Donovan would have been a better choice than lightweight Danish kid, no?

Thanks Dan, I didn't find him particularly bad tbh, that was someone else here iirc

"Lightweight Danish kid" is actually Icelandic, and had a pretty good season at AZ. Promising striker.

If Altidore is toast could they bring in Lando? Srs question I don't know the rule.

lol I just saw the FIFA ad talking about how it fights match manipulation.

let me get a belated "lol pepe" in since i'm only now seeing the highlights

can't his wife just hit him with a frying pan every time he gets home

I'm guessing no
