WTF is Arena thinking???????!!!!!!!!!!! He really must not want to win this game or tournament. Greg Vanney is a disgrace. Why he is in over Bocanegra is just boggling my mind! Vanney takes set pieces like a drug addict. It'll be interesting to see where his FKs and corners land today. Twellman and Martino in the starting lineup? Poor Mathis he is not gonna have the creativity to get him quality chances today. I'm just dissapointed. Poor Howard is gonna face another bombardment today. Don't worry Man U fans he's really better than this crap.

Is there a reason why Landon Donovan is on the bench?

he played 90 minutes the other day.

those are not the official line ups.. they are probable...

is the game gonna be shown on gala ?....the guide for the tv says its not

it's gonna be on telemundo or univision.. one of those two for me.

yea i was just looking i saw it....it didnt say U.S vs Brazil but im sure thats the game......thanks

the game is only on telefutura im pretty sure

And Arena has already said that he was resting both Mathis and Bocanegra were purposely held out of the first match to keep them fresh for the match against Brazil. Who they will replace though is still up in the air.

Eurosport says:

1-0 brazil, adriano scores.

1-0 Brazil

damn, these players are pretty ****ing bad.....our defense is brazils best player right now.....what a joke.....1-0 adriano

F*CK 1-0 Brazil

20' : STATISTIC: Possession - Brazil 68% - USA 32%

man Ronaldhino is just toying with our defense.

eurosport only has text commentry...anyone got a direct audio link?

when was the last time we had the ball?

We should bring in Hejduk at D we need help back there or mayb even Convey

:sleep: say wha? oh right, the game........ can't remember but the US is playin' like ****! brazil's just fuqin' around... :rolleyes:

darn a good oppurtuniy wasted

Mathis FK no good

Got it cheers
British commentators as well :rockman:

OH MY SOOOOOOO CLOSE

HALF TIME THANK GOD this is dicgracefull

playing like some bastids.

How did it turn out?

We failed to produce a single shot until the 44th minute, but we almost equalised in stoppage time. There's still hope...

our defense is pretty terrible.....who was the guy that gave up the ball....and whos the guy that couldnt handle two straight passes right to his feet

Berhalter gifted the ball to Brazil for the goal... I'm really beginning to wonder how this guy can be a NT defender. Just because he plays overseas doesn't make him a great player. :rolleyes:

15 years ago maybe :rolleyes:

Considering that BRazil isn't play too well themselves a 1-0 score really is unfair... considering that the one goal wasn't a result of a team effort or tactical mistake by the coach... rather a simple stupid mistake by a single defender out of 22 people on the field....

Either way I'd look for the USA to really attack in the second half.... hope Mathis comes alive..

OH DONOVAN SOOO CLOSE

Myb they should bring twellman on???? HEY DONT LAUGH

66' : STATISTIC: Possession - Brazil 59% - USA 41% getting better

Not twellman. cunningham

ronalndhino final gets a shrit on

Stewart giving a yellow for diving after he was savaged.

WTF THE REF SUCKS Stweart for diving

Cmon USA gotta score thve had soo many chances

man Howard is top class

Convey on for Gibbs.

Oh well we need to tame the lions then look forwars to the gold cup

We've been outclassed all match long. There's a serious drop off in talent in our defenders. This match is as good as done.

3 mins of stoppage time!!

Hail mary full of grace ..... ok im desprate

game over, we're eliminated. Time to hit the bottle.

Oh well. Even though we didn't play very well you could really argue that we were the victims of a bad draw. I'd like to see our chances if we would have switched places with say, Japan.

That's the dumbest statement I've ever heard.

1.This is not a match between first teams, both teams are missing key players
2.Brazil are the #1 team in the world
3.Turkey is amongst the top 10 in the world
4.How can you compare the Confed Cup with the World Cup? :rolleyes:

WOHOOO!!!!!

Go **** yourself.

EDIT: Oh I forgot you have other guys to do that for you. Dip****.

NICE (H)

i try sometimes

confederations cup ain´t taken so seriously. I still think it´s a pretty good job for USA to lose just 1-0. Brazil had a full squad of quality players and I suppose USA didn´t..

Both teams were equally depleted but Brazil has a much deeper roster.

**** **** ****. At least the White Sox beat the Cubs again.

Boring match!

As I remember it there was only ONE American who made racist comments in that thread and he wasn't serious, just trying to piss you guys off. He deserved a yellow card for that and he was promptly given one. He even acknowledged that he deserved the yellow.
