Italy 3-1 USA

We just do not look threatening enough when attacking. Eqypt looked far superior to us attacking wise bs Brazil. I would play Freddy Adu, he brings a spark and is a playmaker.

Why were we a man down the whole time?

I actually thought we looked like we had more offense in this game.

Altidore looked good except he should have hammered that pass home from donovan.

I only saw the red card and the penalty. The card was a joke, definitely yellow but no more. The penalty was blatant and correctly given.

The red card was pretty soft, considering it's a very severe penalty. However, you have to make due with what you have. I don't know if the USA can hang around. Not that they don't want it, they just seemed out classed.

I saw the replay of the penalty. Crap call and really changed the whole game.

I don't see Italy winning it all. They did nothing that impressive, actually they looked slow.

hypnotized Wow

Pretty impressive 3-0 win against Egypt, and with Brazil's 3-0 win vs Italy, we move into the semifinals on goal differential. Brazil plays South Africa and the US plays Spain next flag

I didn't get to watch any soccer because I was on the road, but the overall chance of everything that happened yesterday was incredible. Just amazing!

I have a friend who had a major headache all afternoon and evening yesterday because he was so worked up about everything, especially that missed handball that could have been a major boon to the US. Turns out they didn't need it, anyway. tongue

I don't even think that the U.S.A. should have gotten this far. More luck (Excluding the way the mashed on Egypt) than anything. Good Luck United States, although it's going to take more than that.
