WC 2014 Match 32 - USA v Portugal

[southbank1871]

Portugal already 1-0 up, I fear for the US in this one.

[southbank1871]

Am I the only one watching this? The USA have been the better side since the Portugal goal, they look like a decent side.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Since the goal, USA have been really threatening. Absolutely raping the Portuguese right hand side.

Still fear that Portuguese will score a load on the break though

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Really enjoying this one so far, but really need some sleep ......

[John Madejski's Wallet]

USA seem very eager to shoot from distance, bit too much imo

I'm here for you SB1871ers.

without fail, every time I see Clint Dempsey I think what a good player he is. He should have played for better teams than Fulham.

So you're WFH tomorrow?

Amen brother. Should have been in a much better team years ago

[southbank1871]

Nice to have two board A-listers on the thread.

I've got to pop into the office for a meating at 1pm, but that's about it. Quite sad that this is the last 11pm game actually.

[southbank1871]

I'd probably go gay for Dempsey actually.

[Ouroboros]

Quite fancied USA for this one. Shame they shot themselves in the foot so early - they don't deserve to be behind.

[southbank1871]

Please don't put this in Ronaldo.

[southbank1871]

Lol

[harry]

Brilliant second save from Howard

he's a terrific player isn't he? Only 31 but now in the MLS I believe.

[leon]

Lol

that was like one of mine. Except I don't look like a gay chipolata.

[southbank1871]

I think they're being a bit harsh on the US here. I can't w8 for Hansen to fukk off tbh.

[Libertine]

Other than the Cameron shanked clearance that gifted Nani the US looked the better side in the first half. The US has had a lot of space in the middle. If Portugal keep playing like this Dempsey and Bradley will have a chance to unlock that defense. Funny old game. The US looked much worse against Ghana in the first half and were up 1-0, this game they have played well and are down a goal.

[double d]

Like the look of Beckermen a lot. Very hard worker, shame USA cannot defend very well. They deserve to get at least a point from this.

[harry]

Bugger. So close to an equaliser.

[double d]

What a block!
