If we win, we're in no matter what.
If England wins, they're in no matter what.
If Slovenia wins, they're in no matter what.
If Algeria wins, they're in unless England wins.

Slovenia can lose but still make it if Algeria beats US.

It sure will be rewarding if we tie Algeria and proceed to the next round...kinda like in NASCAR how you can win the cup without actually winning a single race...great

What a great day of football:

Game 1: Screwed by an overzealous Ref
Game 2: Screwed by an idiotic Ref
Game 3: Two boring as shit teams

Trolltwista!

Making the second round isn't "winning the cup"

6/18/2010 4:31:11 PM

^^ No

6/18/2010 4:31:51 PM

Haha, I just want to see McManaman kick the crap out of Lalas on the air. He'd certainly deserve it for being a trolling prick...

and it must have been the entire team that was "tired or injured" because it was like watching a bunch of 3rd graders play out there

6/18/2010 4:35:21 PM

He is sucking it up

It's up to his shitty manager to sub him

I know you only watch soccer once every four years or when the league side you picked from a hat runs deep in the champions league, but Rooney is not an overrated shit striker

[Edited on June 18, 2010 at 4:37 PM. Reason : They're not playing well as a team, to blame that on Rooney is hilarious]

6/18/2010 4:36:59 PM

so far, after every match day during this tournament, the soccer haters have come into this thread to shit on the sport. today doesn't seem to be any different.

am i allowed to shit on the ref in the USA match?

Tim Donaghy would be proud of him

6/18/2010 4:38:12 PM

Rooney is world class, obviously. He's also played about 3,274 matches in the past year and got like only eight days off after playing in those matches before training started.

6/18/2010 4:38:31 PM

rooney is an awesome player, but he must be hurt or tired or burnt out, because he should have been subbed out. he was walking around out there. no one else was better though, except for maybe the subs.

eat shit

yeah the entire team played bad, but rooney was non existent in the first game, and he was nonexistent in this game.

no idea why he wasn't subbed at halftime at least. he was useless.

I'm not even going to rant. I know more about the players on that team than Fabio Capello does. He's an absolute disgrace.

6/18/2010 5:06:09 PM

good thing they signed him to a contract extension until euro 2012

i guess i missed this earlier and i don't really get the outrage, did not say or mean anything derogatory about him, just was using it as an identifier. if i had known his name at the time i would have said fuck Koman Coulibaly. sorry if it came across offensive

6/18/2010 8:48:47 PM

cool pic for angle context

Depending on the angle that could go either way, though disallowing the goal is kinda bs

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

6/18/2010 9:08:11 PM

the guy is basically admitting he's wrong by not saying what the call is

i know they dont have to, but still

6/18/2010 9:13:04 PM

or you could circle michael bradley being held with the ball going right by him...seems like that could easily be called a penalty too

TWW action news crew should investigate the potential scenarios for USA's pool

6/18/2010 10:29:18 PM

in all seriousness, cherundolo is gonna have to be on his best facing up against ziani. im watching the england game right now since i missed it the first time to see where this team might be dangerous. the left side of algeria seems to be the strongest side and thank god for that since the right side of our defense is much better than our left.

this team looks a little quicker than slovenia but i dont think they are gonna be nearly as physical. jozy "should" do well matching up with the center backs. i like gomez to start with him up top and using his off the ball skills to free up others

Wouldn't that be some shit if USA, Germany, and England all failed to make the knockout phase. Had the 3rd goal counted then we would already be through right now.

Now it is on to Africa on the last day of group play. That is always an adventure with the guys on our current roster...

2006 WC: Ghana 2 USA 1 (Eliminated)
2008 Olympics: Nigeria 2 USA 1 (Eliminated)
2009 Confederations Cup: USA 3 Egypt 0 (Act of God Advancement thanks to Italy losing 3-0)

There are guys that played in each of these games on the 2010 World Cup roster.

I love checking the sun after every england game. I really hope they don't make it out of the group. They'll be blasted in every publication in the UK.

6/18/2010 11:57:07 PM

^It was funny to hear the English announcers complaining about them trying an extra pass instead of a shot. People were on here a few pages ago complaining how the US born announcers are bias and don't talk much about the other team. The English are no better.
