Running commentary and random thoughts on the United States' World Cup 2010 Group C match v. Slovenia:
- Ian, FTW; John Harkes, FML
- Refs are from Mali. U.S. in blue again.
- Anthems. No XTina?
- Hmm, lots of Americans at the game? I hear lots of singing
- Dempsey survives without a yellow for that elbow
- Bradley in better form already
- Donovan needs to do better with the corner
- Disaster
- OK, where's the MF support and why the hell is Gooch hitting the deck on that one?
- This team needs a Belichick-like defensive coordinator, they suck
- OK, so for 2014, I want to a real coach on the sidelines and a team built from the back line forward
- Bob Bradley had better have been in that locker room throwing shit around and doing some screaming. Otherwise, fire this clown on the spot. This is over his head.
- Two changes at the half for U.S. Benny, Edu are in.
- Donovan!!!!!!
- Goal of the tournament!
- Glad our defense isn't the only that sucks.
- Gooch! Dempsey, Bradley too. All of them missed a great cross from Donovan
- My days of Donovan bashing ended last summer at the Confed Cup. He's a star
- Oh yeah, we have to play defense. Slovenia free kick
- Gooch again lost on defense
- Short corners suck.
- What will Bradley's third substitution be? Saving Buddle for the finish? Gomez?
- Um, Go Algeria. Yeah.
- Can we just say it please: Altidore. Overrated. Please.
- The kid is never engaged.
- Nice recovery from Cherundolo, because DeMerit had the poopy-squirts on that rush
- Jozyyyy. Get the shot off
- Great ball from Onyewu
- Dempsey in a sweet takedown.
- Harkes is a jackass. Oh yeah, we've covered this before
- Nothing Jay DeMerit does will make me happy. Gooch is creeping into that territory as well
- Slovenia is very disorganized right now. U.S. must press, through Cherundolo, Donovan and that side of the field.
- Benny gets a weak shot off, but at least he took a poke at it. Jozy? You watching?
- Every time Howard punts that shit ball, it's like kicking a helium balloon.
- The U.S. isn't fond of first-touch passing. Bradley dribbles into the abyss, ends up dumping back to Cherundolo and a restart. Ugh.
- 68 min: 2-1 Slovenia
- Finally Suler gets nailed for grabbing Jozy
- Dangerous spot, gotta convert
- Prediction: Donovan far post. goal.
- Jozy with a bomb into the keeper's chest.
- 71 min: 2-1 Slovenia
- Nice step up by Cherundolo, earns yellow v. Kirm
- When does Bradley use that third sub? Who will it be?
- Foul or offside? Harkes has no idea?
- 75 min: 2-1 Slovenia
- Uh, Bob, tick-tock
- Finally he moves Donovan off that right side
- That's the shot Jozy decides to take?
- Slovenia wins, then U.S. is rooting for a tie this afternoon. Good luck
- 79 minutes: 2-1 Slovenia
- Bradley still sitting on that third sub. WTF
- Gomez coming in for the U.S. Herculez
- Gooch out, Herculez in. I guess Gooch has no value, not even in the air on corners?
- Bradley gets one on goal, forces the save.
- Michael Bradley!!!!!!!
- What a finish. 2-2
- Get the third one!
- Stay 3-4-3
- Need 3 points
- 84 min: 2-2
- Another foul from Slovenia, just falling apart
- What a fucking horrible offside call
- Edu's goal should be good.
- Bradley was held. No offside. Explain it Mali ref. Please.
- Slovenia will cock this up
- 88 min: 2-2
- That was the winner for Slovenia. Guess who gets burned. DeMerit
- 3 minutes added time
- That call just gets worse and worse
- Dempsey face-plants
- How's Mali ref gonna make up time for this?
- So much for stoppage time after the Dempsey thing. Wow
