Gomez & Altidore up Front.

Edu gets the start as well....

Nice, its the US' game to lose.

WTH, Onyewu is out and Gomez, Edu are in too.

Could it be a reaction to Algeria's speed up front??

Probably more the reaction that he has allowed 2 of the 3 goals thus far.

Edu doesn't seem like a shock, but Bornstein is. I was hoping Buddle would be the replacement instead of Gomez but that's likely a wash.

 

[Zeno]

Bornstein???????????? WTF!?!?!??!?!?!

 

[Shzm13]

I might not know a whole lot about the US team, but I know enough to see that the back line is looking a little weak with no ***** and Bornstein. This game might be a little closer than it seemed on paper.

 

[Zeno]

Bradley may have made his biggest mistake of the tourney, if Onyewu can't start put in Goodsen or Spector not Bornstein.

 

[Shzm13]

Demerrit wtf was that?

 

[Dr. Jones]

Dude.... Already one rocket off the post ... lol

It's in our DNA to suck early.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Slick willy in the stands!

 

[Shzm13]

Bill Clinton chillin' in a suite with Bladder.

Relax guys. They got this

 

[Dr. Jones]

Gomez finds clint first and we are up right now.

 

[Zeno]

England just scored

 

[Zeno]

I am a bundle of nerves I can't imagine what it is like for the players

 

[Kel Varnsen]

If that was offsides, it was awfully close. One of those calls that should go to the attacking team, imo.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Landon has wiiffed twice on two solid opportunities.....

 

[Dr. Jones]

Damn!!!!!!

 

[Zeno]

We are getting some great chances

 

[Shzm13]

Altidore ftl

How many more chances is this guy going to blow?

 

[Shzm13]

Alright, can someone explain the advancement scenarios for me? This group is about as tight as it gets.

Assuming both Eng-Slo, US-Alg scores remain... Is the US out?

Yes.

US wins and they are in, Slov & Eng tie and we are in with a tie(1-1). Slovenia wins and we are in with a tie. A 2-2 Eng/Slov tie and US ties 0-0 it goes to drawing "lots"

 

[Shzm13]

A 2-2 Eng/Slov tie and US ties 0-0 it goes to drawing "lots"

How's that go?

 

[Zeno]

How's that go?

We will have each score 3 goals and have the same number of points(3), for all intents and purposes FIFA draws a name out of a hat and that team advances as the #2 seed from the group.

Maybe one day we'll get competent officiating at the World Cup...
