    790 the ticket, will have Jozy Altidore on.

    He was fantastic today. Again..had he not been fouled on that run he made..they would have played that highlight forever (had he scored)

    If Serbia wins, you play Serbia.

    If all stays status quo, regardless of goals, you play Ghana.

    like any kid grows up dreaming of playing for the Atlanta Braves. You ever see those old World War 2 movies where the soldiers want to make sure the other guy is American? They always ask who plays second base for the Yankees or Dodgers. They never ask who plays for the Braves or Red Sox. Can you imagine how many of our own soldiers we would have shot if we were asking them who played for the Braves or Red Sox?

    The movies I always saw had some dude saying "Hey, you think DiMaggio is gonna have a good year this year?" 10 years after DiMaggio had been retired. THAT was realistic.

    And that is horrible quantifier of the Braves not being a more American team anyhow.

    Last I checked, the Yankees have never been dubbed "Americas Team". The Braves have. Booyah. (Thank You TBS)

    Any kid growing up in the USA or Japan or Cuba or South America dreams of playing for the Yankees. They are the equivalent of Arsenal, United, and Real Madrid all rolled into one. The Braves are like a B League team out of Costa Rica. (See how I turned that into a soccer post?)

    The Best ever Color Commentator is Ray Hudson....

    These are my favorite Ray Hudson lines:

    (Icing goal goes in...) "And that my friends is the Haitan voodoo doll death rattle goal my friends..."

    (Free Kick goal) "Like Jedi Knight! But Bettahhh"

    "What a Goal! VAMANOS MUCHACHOS!"

    "OHHH..The BEER is gonna flow tonight boys!"

    Today I rooted for US.
    What a game, eletric, it's clear the evolution the american team had the past decade. This team is prepairing for a serious run into the next World Cups, for now I believe it's a solid quarter-final/semi-final quality team, that's why since the beginning have them as a 1st tier contender in my book.

    What's going on the referees have been killing US so much?

    Today..it was bad luck...it was a bad call, yes. But it was a tough call that could have gone either way.

    The Slovenia game was incompetence by a dumbass referee.


    BTW, The US is a strong favorite vs. Ghana. Spoke to somebody I know that makes book for a house in Costa Rica...The US will be a very strong favorite versus So. Korea and a game vs. Uruguay will be close to pickem' with the US being a slight favorite at best.

    So yes..."technically"..the US is favored to make the Semi-Finals.

    Yeah Section, I watched most of both games, I agree with u.

    And I think US right now would be more hyped if it weren't for these 'mistakes'.. I'd pick a quarter-final game between Uruguay X US. But I don't think it's an easy path though as Ghana is a pretty good team imo.

    well its one thing i notice with soccer with fans and even announcers is that they cling too deeply to their assumptions less so than in other sports, imo. in other one-offs like the NCAA tournament, we dont slam the more favored losing side as much as we praise the winner for being better on that day. soccer seems the opposite. it seems to want to create more drama than anything. maybe thats just the american fan in me, but it seems that internationally, soccer is always looked at with the glass half empty

    heck, algeria isnt deep, but hell, they have some players. that guy's strike on us in the 7th minute is as skilled and powerful a strike as anyone can produce.

    there are very few teams in this 32 that i dismissed but a lot of people dismissed the US.

    for all their lack of pedigree and certain skills, the US squad can only be matched by a couple others in terms of fitness and will.

    Didn't France keep Ireland out of the World Cup with some controversial hand ball goal by Thierry Henry?? I heard that Pizza Huts in Ireland were giving away free pizzas every time someone scored against France. :sidelol:
