World Cup 2006

[Guest Koupa Troopa]

Italy are going to trash the US as are Ghana.

I stick by my US is the weakest team in that group statement I told someone during a WC conversation. >_>

[Farmer Reil]

To be fair, the US would struggle to qualify from any group this year. Except Group Dull. Anyone could qualify from that.

That's not as much of a rip on the US as it sounds, by the way. Seriously... they're decent, but decent doesn't cut it.

The Czechs just seemed to have crumbled, they certainly a shadow of the Czech team that played the other day. Then again they were playing the US.

They had at least one good striker then, too.

I think they'd have a good shot at qualifying from Group G or H too.

But they're in Group E so they're screwed.

Well I would have to say that altough they havent showed it yet this team is one of the better that we have had, the only thing is that they are still pretty young and inexperinced so that kinda goes against them. Lots of the guys on the team or on the younger team(U-21) right now, 4 years from now could be very good players such as Eddie Johnson, Freddy Adu among other players will hopefully make the team alot better then what it is now.

Also has anyone heard the line up yet? From what I have heard Johnson isnt starting again, and after how he played last game I thought that there would be a pretty good chance he started.

I ran a preview using FIFA World Cup 2006, and this is how is came out:

USA GOAL - Clint Dempsey - 12:23

ITALY GOAL - Francesco Totti - 34:03

ITALY GOAL - Francesco Totti - 51:54

ITALY GOAL - Alberto Gilardino - 66:45

USA GOAL - Eddie Johnson - 85:06

ITALY 3 - USA 2

[Buford Ripley]

That's hardly realistic. It should be Italy 3 - 0 - USA.

On another note: Fuck Who Wants To Be A Millionaire for being on between World Cup matches. I'm so sick of that show.

[The Third Dukes]

Wow, the US has a ton of support in the stadium today. This could play like a home match!

[Buford Ripley]

Come on the Italians!

Can't believe I just said that.

[Lowerdeck]

Italy 3 - 1 USA

And that's just being nice to the Americans, we really suck.

[dwood]

How did Ujfalusi get redcarded?

[Green Demon]

Doesnt mean anything yet but it does seem like the US is atleast getting more chances down at their end so far but if they dont amount to anything then it is all for naught.

Damn Convey had a chance there but hit it high.

*prepares to eat words, as US start playing like a professional football team*

[Buford Ripley]

The Italians are being lazy and the Americans are playing quite well. Surprise, surprise.

[Farmer Reil]

The worst thing USA could do before half time would be score. That might wake Italy up

Edit: Wooo! Pirlo is magic.

[Buford Ripley]

The Yanks should win as a warning for Italy's complacency.

[Guest Future Shock]

Were they chanting Bullshit?

[Jonny D]

Wow. The USA had been playing much better so far as well.

[Buford Ripley]

Well look who happens to score. Seems they can be as complacent as they want.

You can't yell bullshit at that. The Yanks were caught out on the freekick and their defenders kept Gilardino onside.
