One reason this game hasn't caught on so much in the US: not enough bathroom breaks.

England was clearly the better team, and really ought to have scored more. There was that 10-minute or so period early in the second half when Haskey, Crouch and Rooney had a series of opportunities but didn't convert any. That was England's best chance to edge ahead. No complaints from me though; I guessed a 1-1 draw (but I thought the US team would be stronger on defense than they actually were).cristo said:Well, that was disappointing (as usual for an England fan), though our performance was much better than it has been in the recent friendlies and the only goal was due to an awful goalkeeping error.
Cyrus, see what happens when you get drunk and accidentally wander into the wrong thread?Cyrus said:Take that SUCK IT England, you plonkers! WOOOO AMURIKAA F' YEAHH!
(Look at me, I watched 10 mins of sports one of the rate times ever in my life. Now I feel like a real man posting this )
Side Note:
As I was watching, the clock was counting up. What the hell ? I got confused, and they didnt say if it was half time, or if that guy made a touch down. Screw this sport. :grumpy:

zomgwtf said:Lol it confused me when I first started watching soccer. (the last world cup) I guess that's just the way they do it, no real 'reason' to the madness. People say it's because of the injury/stop time added but that makes no sense to me, they could easily have done it the same way with the clock counting down. (once it hits 0 they have teh same injury time clock come up counting up to whatever or down to whatever extra time there is).
Hopefully they realize that with the marvelous technology we have now days you can PAUSE the time! Yes I know novel concept 'pausing time' (can he really do it?).
When the length of the period is known (and most people watching a soccer game know that each half lasts 45 min + injury time) the choice of counting up vs counting down is usually nothing more than a matter of convention. However, the addition of injury time is one good reason to count up. Would you rather see the clock count up from 45 to 49 or down from 0 ot -4?Cyrus said:no seriously...why was that clock counting up?

Those won't be ordinary practice matches. Neither England nor the US wants to be the second team to advance from group C as that team will almost certainly get to play Germany in the round of 16. That tie between the US and England pretty much guarantees that Group C has some brutal games in the offing.Kurdt said:Watching the Algeria v Slovenia match at the moment they will have a couple of good practise matches to get it right which I'm thankful for.
That was looking like a good prediction for the first 70 minutes of the match. That red card in the 72th minute makes this prediction suspect. We'll see if Slovenia can take advantage of the situation.D H said:Algeria - Slovenia (0-0)
I saw that coming (a day ago).D H said:That red card in the 72th minute...
zomgwtf said:Red card serbia! WOW! He was holding him but a second yellow card? Idk... he shouldn't have been playing so rough already having 1 yellow though.
zomgwtf said:Ghana wins after a penalty shot awarded for a hand ball. 1-0 final score. Good **** blackstars!
cristo said:Well, of all my bad result predictions, I really didn't think I'd be wrong on that one. Ghana should have had no chance!
fluidistic said:The funny thing until now is that many goal keepers criticized the ball of this world cup. According to them, it takes strange paths in the air, and it is made against goal keepers and we should see more goals. Until now, 7 matches were played and 9 goals were scored. Only 9, less than any world cup with the same number of matches played...
The red card for Tim Cahil was ridiculous.Gokul43201 said:All 3 games today had a red card come out (the Germans didn't need that extra help though).
