(Besides, in a soccer match, go with the keeper named Handanovic ;)

He certainly isn't as green as that English keeper.

as for the haters...YOU try running non-stop for 45 minutes...

It's not the PLAYERS that I think are sissies...it's the sport itself.

How is soccer a “gay” sport? Tell me, Cletus, how long you could go onto a field and perform like these guys? Or is sitting at a bar with ten other slobs and ogling the fat arsed cocktail waitress your idea of a manly endeavor?

Nah, I wouldn't say so. USA has adequate possesion of the ball, has shown some promising attacks. They might just turn the game. Overall, both sides are showing some pretty decent football.

I dunno if Howard’s ribs are bothering him or what, but he seems tentative. Like when he got caught back on his line following the one set play.

American Football. Is that the sport with the brightly-colored padding, huge shoulder pads and eye-makeup?

Just checking.

Slovenia is a bigger club, the US doesn’t do well against these teams. Remember last WC when the Czechs, who are very similar destroyed us, even though they also didn’t make it through.

But when it settles into passing back and forth around midfield, it’s just painful to watch.

That's the strategy part of it. Not unlike basketball when they're looking for a way to get it to the rim. Yeah, basketball is faster, but it's a much smaller playing area.

One of the leagues I played in (many moons ago) played on a very small pitch. It was a fast and usually high scoring game.

That’s the kind of team US should do well against. We’re a fast team ... getting around those big lugs should be easy for Donovan.

Agreed, the US can turn this around.

Almost the only American football I watch is the Redskins, and that’s a loyalty thing too. The way they’ve been playing the last few years, it’d have to be. I’m not much of a sports fan at all. Soccer is not as painful to watch as basketball, but more so than American football. Baseball, golf and hockey are not even on the horizon.

I will side with the soccer players on the (excess v. no) commercials.

Are these refs anti-USA?

Get a yellow for getting hit in the FACE with the ball?

OHHHH! So CLOSE!!!
