Slovenia v USA [OFFICIAL THREAD]

[seahawk10]

USA! USA! USA! We have revealed the secret to beating Slovenia, shoot it at the keepers face!

[papereyes]

Manager's son - we've all been there

[General B]

GET IN THE HOLE!

Just need a second yellow now for one of the Sloves to finish it off nicely...

[exileinleeds]

...and one disallowed.

[seahawk10]

We gotta win this...

[Maquisard]

Nice shrug from the ref, there

I really don't think the US are that bad. Sorry.

[Ark Royal]

Great save by Howard. "FU CK SHIT BOLLOCKS oxf*rd!!!"

Spot on. We aren't great but we aren't bad either. I would say much like Reading, can beat the top teams on any given day but nowhere near competing on a consistent basis against the very top teams in the Champions League (yet).

[Ark Royal]

Great game. Appalling refereeing. Disallowed US goal should have stood.

[Big Foot]

Caught most of the 2nd half, brilliant game from what I saw

Fair result, and never mind that the referee and his linos smoke syphilitic jackass jerky --what's true today was true yesterday and shall remain true tomorrow

It was more on show before halftime, but it's clear that despite Bruce Arena getting canned after the last one, the U.S. Soccer [sic] doctrine of try-passing-short-to-a-teammate-thru-a-picket-of-four-defenders-who-have-every-angle-cut-off attains

That crap may see you thru under raindrops on a greasy pitch in San Salvador, but both that and the dithering in possession need to go if ever we're to amount to anything --you can only go so far with limited talent and need to be sufficiently structured so to keep mistakes from being punished in full, but then there's such a thing as being overly tidy, and not least when precious fractions of seconds are going to waste and opportunities are dying on the vine

I love the looks of utter mystific7ion on their faces whenever they get the ball at their feet in space in the middle of the park, start faffing about with it and then look up to see a defender zeroing in hell-for-brekkerz five yards away --like they've never in their lives experienced such a thing

Anyway, a draw in the late game is now fervently desired --and for that, y'all can blame the United States of America

^ Smile Chi. You are well on the way to the last 16. Victory over Algeria gives you a great chance...especially if you beat them by 2 clear goals.

[leww_rfc]

2-2 me thinks.

Oh, piece a cake then!

The US won this fairly, they were cheated by the ref.

How does a 2-2 draw equal winning fairly ?

You can;t just take one random decision, decide you disagree with it and decide to change the result !!!

That would be anarchy. The ref was right, the rules make that clear.

Did you right this

[papereyes]

I still maintain that the reference to Bunker Hill shows that, yes, this is ironic.
