Team America - World Police - NICE
I’m getting ready for the game T-minus 16 minutes and counting – my pre-match coverage includes me on the laptop and CinemaxHD’s afternoon showing of the cold war classic The Hunt for Red October.
Soon I’ll have a beer nestled in my Saints beer hugger and a bowl of popcorn at my side…

Is it just me or does Ghana's anthem sound like "I've Got a Golden Ticket" From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

does it seem to anyone else that they talk about the U.S. "conceding early" like they're doing it on purpose?

Ghana's getting off too many shots
We need to get on the offensive
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
they are fast and we're not handling the ball well
although we’ve played a bit better and gotten some chances later in the 1st half

Who's winning?

why is he even on the ground?
he went down, got up, then fell down again for no reason and now they have to cart him off. Then he gets right back up again.
Peyton, I can eat Oreos faster than you!!!!
you could have swore that guy died on the field, but as soon as they carted him off the field, he popped right back up

Isn’t that typical for soccer?
I thought I heard they call it “flopping”, or something like that.
They get barely touched in the chest/torso, and they they grab their face and scream in agony and fall to the ground.

what a crappy game we played
should’ve won. great dissapointment. many many quality goal oppurtunities and we played D well besides those two crappy goals. that was horrible D on both. 1 on 2 both times and we let them score both times. ridiculous. Throw in all the missed chances to score and it results in this. Should’ve gone on to the next round but 2 crappy plays cost us the game.
Superbowl bound!!!...I know! do you?! Go Saints!!
Commiserations, y’all.
The US team was a little naive defensively and gave the ball away far too often throughout the tournament. In my opinion (and I only caught 2/3 of the game as I was ‘working’) they still managed to dominate a lot of the play and were unlucky not to convert a few chances. Ghana played well on the break and took advantage when they most needed to.
Still, it was a good run, and the US team is only going to get better. You guys should watch some MLS or something, it’s just as good.
If I am good I could add years to my life / I would rather add some life to my years.
BTW – Bill Clinton and Mick Jagger watching the game together was the weirdest thing of the entire World Cup.
If I am good I could add years to my life / I would rather add some life to my years.
I'm almost willing to doubt that that's the first time thouse guys have watched some balls get kicked around together.

Overall
The U.S. team played well and met expectations. They played hard, with passion and it was a great thing to watch. The U.S. got exposed defensively, which anyone who knew anything about the U.S. team knew would happen eventually. And more importantly than that, we simply do not have the striking ability to currently compete into the elimination rounds.
Too often did we put a poor shot on net, or not make that extra pass in the box. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, we simply aren’t there yet. Considering not too long ago the U.S. was buried in the FIFA rankings, we should feel nothing but pride about our team and how far we’ve come.
