ShadowJet35 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 America has a pretty decent team on the field, and Adu really has me excited for what he may do for the US in the next 3-4 world cups. The kid has amazing ball handling and some hops, I haven't seen anyone on Brazil other than maybe Pato that can outrun him up and down the pitch.

ShadowJet35 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Altidore knocks in the tiebreaker, he wasn't even marked, all eyes were on Adu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowJet35 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 I just went to the official U-20 website, who is this Giovanni Dos Santos kid... I heard the name, and know he is a player on FC Barcelona but "The Next Ronaldinho"??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I watched the whole game...very strong game by Altidore. The keeper did an OUTSTANDING job. The second goal was all Adu...a great game by him as well. I don't like his whining, but I guess that comes with the territory. Good game against one of the powers in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game against one of the powers in the world The Keeper played an Excellent game, that one goal that was scored should go as an own goal (don't know if it did) it clearly came off of one of our players. Brazil came into this thing as a favorite and are unlikely to even make it out of group play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game against one of the powers in the world We tend to do alright in the youth leagues, and even in games against the power countries. when we hit the world cup we tend to take a huge dive unless we are overwhelming under-dogs. which was not the case in 06, and probably won't be the case in 2010. we have to figure out to come away with a convincing 1-0 or 2-0 winning against the better teams. If we do win by 1, it's usually a dog fight to the end. Hopefully this U20 class can have more composure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetLee83 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I watched the game, it was a great game. The US keeper was awesome, and Adu was great as usual. Big win for the US, and now are on to the round of 16, Wednesday in Toronto, I'm really considering going, its only a hour and a half drive.

vanDoug Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yikes. Canada was ousted without scoring a goal in any match they played. First time that's happened to a host country. Ouch!!! Guess we should stick to hockey, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetLee83 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Guess we should stick to hockey, eh? I'd say so! Haha, no, but in reality, soccer is growing in Canada, its just going to take a lot of time for it to develop there. They're behind us in soccer development, and were still a bit behind, obviously. I wouldnt be too worried, you'll see a slow improvement over the year. In due time Canada, in due time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLee83 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 How did/is Adu do/doing? I heard he played decent... He played well, he needs to move off the ball more though, that would make him deadlier. USA wins 2-1!!!! The advance to the quaterfinals!!! A little shoving match after the game, started by the team Uraguay, poor losers. Peaces out Uraguay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLee83 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Disgusting job by the refs in this game, yellow cards for everything, result to a US red card on Wallace, which led to a free kick for Austria and they scored on it, 2-1 Austria with the last 15mins of extra time left to play. Not looking good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
