Borgoguy Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 That sucks for the U.S. Really played well. Not really. You can't give up three in the second half, especially if you're up by two. BTW, does anyone else hate J.P. DellaCamera? This guy acted like he was part of the Brazilian team after each score. Plus, you ever hear a worse play-by-play guy? It makes me insane when he tells you the [player's name who touches the ball. It's not f**king American football, dunce. Let the game unfold and comment on the important stuff. He's been doing this awful announcing for years. Move to brazil, JP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did ESPN send the commentators to South Africa or were they in Bristol calling the game? ESPN has admitted they do that all the time in their soccer coverage.

ESPN has admitted they do that all the time in their soccer coverage. The announcers were in Bristol. Harkes was a part of the pregame show.

Otter Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Brazil just blew the US off the field in the second half. That quick goal really tuned the game around. After that the US just fell into a rut and were on defense the whole second half. I wish Bradley had made his substitutions a bit earlier. The team needed a lift, but Bradley waited until it was too late. Tough loss but hopefully a building block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The US will be in next years World Cup so this should be a learning experience for them. I hope the Aussies are in the same pool as the US. That would be a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about the talk about penalty kicks with the game tied and 20 minutes to go in regulation? Seriously, what the hell man? He was making a fool of himself...

SweetLee83 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Not a very surprising 2nd half. The US did well to score twice. It sucked losing like that, but Brazil showed why they're a top team in the world. Kaka is incredible. I agree with Bradley's tactics, but some of his player selections are questionable. Conor Casey, who is slow, fat and terrible and should never play for the USMNT, and DeMarcus Beasley, who got significant playing time earlier in the tournament, maybe should have gotten another chance by subbing in. I wouldn't have minded seeing Adu either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A two goal lead isn't much for them with a half left to play. The U.S did well to get as far and come as close as they did. It was a good tournament for you guys.

The U.S did well to get as far and come as close as they did. It was a good tournament for you guys. I thought they had an excellent tournament, too. I know Brazil is a powerhouse, but three second half goals is a bit much to take. (Actually, the US gave up four, as Kaka's goal should have counted.) They gave Brazil way too much space in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green DNA Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 On a related note, those dopey horns need to be banned for the world cup next year. It's beyond annoying and I will need to watch the games with no sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the same buzz-buzz all game long. Don't people get tired of blowing those things? (By those things, I mean the horns. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
