Donovan is the man!

I can't believe they didn't scored 4 goals with some of those ripe chances.

Yeah, the goal that Altidore missed over the cross bar from like 3 ft. away was crazy. I'll bet he was sick over that one.

I simply hate their style of play. They are almost always made up of dirty players and whiners. Almost just as annoying, if not more, god forbid they score first in any game. It doesn't matter if its within the first couple of minutes of a game, they completely shut it down and play defensive the rest of the game, unless the other team scores. Which is probably smart but not too exciting to watch IMO.

Now, if i was to dig deeper, it might have a little to do with the fact that they tried to colonize my country twice and failed miserably twice. But i really don't think this plays much factor. I just hate them.

Everyone hates Italy, it's all good.

aye!
France I hate.

Italy... I just focus on their female fans and enjoy!

That style is much like a great defensive basketball team though so I understand why it grates on many. But my basketball teams all play defense first. Defensive mistakes get you pulled but I concede some offensive errors.

Japan just got their 2nd free kick goal against Denmark

Both Ghana and Japan look to be decent teams.

I guess playing Germany maybe the easier option! :laugh2:


Perhaps not.
