The Soccer Thread (IV)

Landon looked awful there. Fuck. this sucks.

 

Bollocks.

I wish I didn't agree, RickStain. But Mexico has been the better team for much of the game.

Still, they couldn't get that winner. Was good to see Mexico getting so frustrated, knowing they weren't completely dominating like they're used to there.

Then they get a fortunate bounce, and . . . .

Maybe next time.

 

And ah yes, in the grand tradition of Mexican soccer, every player who gets bumped from now on will need an air ambulance.

 

The ball spent so much dang time in the U.S. box, the lucky bounce was bound to happen. It would have been nice if it hadn't.


Ooh, Mexico *just* about gave the ball away into a 3-on-2 counter.

 

Dumb question about throwing things - is there a point at which the home team gets penalized for their fans throwing things on the field (like there is in hockey)?

There's a lot of passing to no one in particular from the US players today.

 

Nice to see the police using shields so Landon Donovan could take a corner kick.

 

Not if the refs want to leave the stadium alive.

 

FIRE BRADLEY!!!!!!!

At some point, FIFA needs to step in and penalize Mexico for that shit.

 

I hope we don't arrange any friendlies with these bastards for a while.

 

Less than three of stoppage time for a half with two fracases and a goal along with a million other time wasters?

Oh well. U.S. didn't deserve to win today regardless.
