Somehow, by God's miracle, if US wins this game than this group is going to be a very interesting one!
2-0 Italy.

 

[Jedi Mind Trick]

the ghana win definitely gives us a great opportunity, but i do agree it'll take a perfect game to win against italy. here's usa's lineup:

--------------keller------------

churundolo---onyewu--pope---lewis

-----------mastroeni------------

dempsey---reyna--donovan---convey

--------------mcbride-------------


kinda defensive...i'd have liked to have seen eddie johnson start.

 

[Fernandez]

damn, someone close the other thread,

USA 1-1 Italy

It would keep us alive, if on life support.

 

[Dreath]

I want USA to win.

Make one interesting group at least.

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

Let's goooo USA!!!! :mexican:





































Ok, just kidding...

kinda defensive...i'd have liked to have seen eddie johnson start.

It's not really defensive, it's just stupid. I mean, Dempsey, Donovan and Convey are midfielders known for their offense, not defense. However, not starting Eddie Johnson is a big mistake.

It seems there are 2 threads for this match, but anyway this is the one with most replies, so... Italy will win it quite easily, 2-0 Italy.

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

Jesus Christ, start the ******* game already. Enough of the bull****.

 

[Parasol]

2 - 0 Italy

- Toni
- Gilagol

 

[Tifon]

I hope USA wins, so at the end Czech Republic and Ghana could advance to next round.

 

[Run DMB]

I'd be happy with a tie, I really would.

Ghana will be without Muntari and Gyan, their two goalscorers so far, when we face them. It would be surprising if Italy don't beat the tired, injured Czechs.

 

[newbie original]

The Clint Dempsey inclusion was a good move...but Eddie Johnson SHOULD'VE BE INCLUDED!!!! He could have tried to catch out the Italian CBs....

 

[Krypton X]

USA need to go out and play aggressively like Ghana just did and show Italy no respect. If Italy score first then its hard to see the Americans coming back.

Prediction: another 2-0 for Italy.

Totti's haircut FTW!

 

[Jedi Mind Trick]

yea i didn't even recognize him at first during the ghana game.

 

[Luis Ah-Hoy]

USA has to be audacious... they've nothing to lose, i guess... and i agree that they've shown too much respect towards Czech Rep.
