While I was at work with my dad in the flower market, i started readin the Sports Section of the L.A times. I see 4 articles on the U.S. Basicall the theme is, WE SHOULD BE IN THE SEMIS. Yes they did play good against Germany, but that is the only game out of all 5 they played. USA surprised Portugal, they were this close in the score being a tie. They hanged on against Korea. and they got embarrased by Poland. and the weirest game of the Cup so far was against Mexico, because of Aguirre's dumb decisions, Mcbride's fist punchin the ball away and so on. well back to the topic, here are some quotes from the LA TIMES.........
"At the end, when referre Hugh Dallas of Scotland blew the final whistle the single the close of a remarkable World Cup run by the U.S it was the German players who collapsed to the turn in relief. They knew that they had been tested to the fullest." - Grahamel L. Jones
UH HELLO ITS THE QUARTER FINALS, Of course Germany was relieved, for God's sake they are gonna go to the Semi's.
Brad Friedel " The satisfying thing is knowing that we could have gone a little further. It is frustrating, but its satisfying as well. We can go home with our heads help up high."
Brad Brad Brad, u guys lost to POland. Thank Korea for beating Portugal so u guys can actually face Mexico .
Then they have a whole page on why USA should have tied because of the hand bal in the beggining of the second half. First of all it was the ball hit the defender accidently and therefore no offense is commited. Second of all, do they even remember MEXICO VS USA, McBride's fucken fist hit the ball out of their own area.

Ok Javi get past O'Briens handball ok?
USA MURDERED YOU
It's hard to take I know
They were clearly the better side
USA should have beaten Germany, one of the Germans (Schneider I think) handballed it on the line - which is a penalty and a sending off - maybe that was revenge for O'Brien
USA were better than Mexico. That's it
Don't start becoming like the Italians moaning ok

if USA murdered Mexico, then Germany murdered USA. SAME EXACT SITUATION

Lol wtf are you talking about
They were two totally different games, but they both had a handball in
THEY MUST BE THE SAME - lol you're talking shit
This isn't as bad as when you told me that Saudi Arabia and Costa Rica would have great World Cups, but it's close.
-
oh and my whole point was that the U.S should not be complaining about the refs, since thats one of the main reasons they got there in the first place
-
The main reason they got there in the first place was because they outplayed Mexico
-
this is what i said about Cosa Rica and Suadia Arabia
THEY COULD SURPRISE. I think i said that, dont remember.
Since u wanna bring back old quotes hera ya go
but didnt u say Korea has no chance in hell, and if you believed Korea has a chance, u are crazy?
didnt you post "TURKEY HAVE DONE IT"
didnt you say Italy is gonna win the world cup?
come on Jay Ay Bee, if England's coachwould have take out Beckham for no reason against Brazil, wouldnt u think somethin was too fishy?
-
Why if a team protest they "like italians?".
Actually this year i've seen Belgium guys talking about a plot, Turkish crying and making so damn noise against Brazil, USA guys talking about scandal, Spanish ready to kill the refree, etc.. Is it all Italy-related?
-
didnt you post "TURKEY HAVE DONE IT"
Yeah I did
What about it?
-
man the whole point of the damn Topic is that
* USA did an ok job in the World Cup, and they get praised big time by sports writers
*USA complains about a handball that was an accident, and all of a sudden they dont remember theirs.
-
Yeah I did
What about it?
Turkey has done it.
