USA vs Brazil: Pre/In/Post Match Thread

Was a great game to watch ...the 3rd 4th playoff was 3-2 as well

 

No shame USA, great tournament run. Love the progress we are making.

 

Fabiano's got 11 goals in 8 international games now, surely somebody big has to buy him ? all this talk of Adebayor going to Milan, Fabiano shites all over him

anyways good turn out from Brazil in the second half, first half they were non existant. should have been 4-2 Kaka's header was a goal by a country mile.

 

yea good showing by the US, I am trying to figure out how we could have defended those goals better but am drawing up with little. Better man marking by the Wingbacks probably? I am hesitant to blame the Centerbacks as I think they have been real good

 

The US needs more speed at wingback, but when they put more speed back there - that fecking Hun Beasley, then there is no defensive ability at all. Its a tough one, not sure that they can coach or call up someone who can fill that void.

 

can that german-american jones, play at a back? I know he is a middy by trade but I'm just wonderin

 

Great game, I thought the U.S. came out in the 2nd half like they had already won the match. It took less than a minute for Brazil to get their first goal. No biggy though, the U.S. showed that they have improved greatly and probably won over quite a few people in time for the World Cup.

I missed the first goal, but the second had the entire bar of over a 100 people going crazy and screaming and hugging entire strangers. I can't remember that many people so excited about watching the U.S. in any kind of international match since the last world cup.

 

Yes both games were good to watch. How about the second gaol by Guiza for Spain and then the ridiculous free kick to equalize in injury time for South Africa. Two incredible goals.
