Turn that frown, upside down! The US is winning

JK I know how you feel. Well, not really.

 

[kaimel rule]

Id really like to see Alexandre Pato in the game.

 

[scarface2k1]

i cant believe whats going on lol.

 

[ieternalv]

USA USA!...keep it up!

 

[Sinner]

yeah, Pato and Alves will likely be subbed in for the second half...

On a sidenote, with the US' success in their Confed cup campaign, I wonder how many will consider them to be 'contenders' for next year's WorldCup?

 

[dc1323]

USA baby! Good showing in the first half. All of the pro soccer analysts here... thoughts on the 1st half?

 

[fuser86]

Great first half for the U.S. as far as taking advantage of their opportunities and defending well collectively. Although toward the end we were fortunate LuisFabiano didn't connect on that cross.

Let's keep it up USA!!

 

[kidjustice19]

WOW... great half... what a great build up for the second goal...

 

[ValarMorghulis]

USA

but Brazil had its chances... Tim Howard

 

[intrigant]

i'm stunned by usa team. if brazils wont score early in the second half their chances of winning this game are minimal.

 

[brendanmaguire]

2-0.

This is crazy. Lets go USA!

I find it ridiculous that anyone would go that far.

 

[do be doo]

USA!.....

 

[ieternalv]

i wonder what the odds were...i shou;d've put some money on the yanks!

 

[elcubanodel510]

US been playing real soccer these last 2 games. I hope this becomes habit for them to not slow up after taking a lead like they usually do. Lets just hope theystay aggressive next half. Tim Howard's doing a hell of a job in the box to.

I know it sounds ridiculous, and for the record, I'm not one of them, but I'm sure there will be 'analysts' out there that think this is a'turning point' in football in America... to them, all they will see is that they beat Spain and (possibly) Brazil...

The thing is, which is the 'real' Team USA? the team in the first 2 group-stage matches or the team that beat Spain and are beating Brazil?

 

[5am6oody72]

YO! I'm so geeked right now

 

[fuser86]

Robinho is brasil's biggest threat with his dribbling, passing, and left or right footed precise shots. He almost caught howard on that left footed shot hetook.

Brasil went into the half on a relatively good note considering they were starting to string some passes together. The U.S. has to continue to chase andpressure Brasil when they're with the ball. That way they'll commit bad passes as they were doing throughout the majority of the first half.

 

[curious24]

anderson from united is injured...i would have liked to see him in this tourney.

Ya our defense is especially good on the with Spector. They have taken Robinho out of the game so far.
Glad Landon got a goal because he's under the radar now.

 

[brendanmaguire]

Wow.

 

[Sinner]

wow! what a turn and strike!

 

[ricerocket1]

damn...here we go

 

[TheGift23]

Wow nice goal for Brasil
