I blame it on the delay. But hey suns out, guns out.

That Algeria team has been a blast to watch. It wouldn't be crazy for them to end up winning that group.

To be fair to Yankee, I haven't seen audio that delayed since the fucking moon landing.

I like the 10 seconds before Donovan talks, it gives me a chance to imagine he's in there just so the cameras can capture his jealous face.
[raises hand] uhhhh......I've been saying for months we'd get through after going win-draw-lose, and winning the tiebreaker on account of losing to zee Germans less badly than did Portugal.

And I believe coming into the match he's run more than anyone else in the WC… maybe some Mix but I think Jürgen should seriously consider benching him. It's not like he's taking horribly off shots too he's giving away the ball in our own end a ton.

His passing has just been worse than usual. He wasn't as bad today, but still not great. We need him in there against Belgium. I think we can get an advantage against that Belgian midfield, and I think they'll have a lot of trouble with a box to box runner like Bradley.

Bradley poor again, but for all you clamoring for him to be replaced; with who? Mix? Wondo and push Dempsey to the #10 role? Neither option gives us anything better than Bradley on his current form. Klinsmann's only play is to keep putting him in there and hoping he gets his head out of his ass.

Mix at least has a cool name. Michael Bradley? HE'S GOT TWO FIRST NAMES!
This guy looks like me and also tweets a lot of things that I would say. We follow each other.

Eh if you've watched the first three matches and think Bradley hasn't been a huge liability then more power to you. It's not like he's a winger/forward where his mistakes just give the ball away. He's given away the ball in dangerous places via the pass AND his stones first touch. He's screwed up attacks too. He could just be extremely tired (he's covered more ground than anyone I believe).
The other issue I have is he plays so deep that when the ball goes up to Dempsey he barely ever had anyone to play it off of. Maybe try out Mix where Bradley is now. I just think you at least have to consider it.
Also interesting how "traffic" cancelled the scrimmage between the US and Belgium that was suppose to take place.
EDIT: Yes Bradley has covered the most distance by over a km. US has three of the top 15 distance covered (Jones/Beckerman too). Fresh legs might help out MF too.

Cant tell if serious or just old.
What are you on about, lad?
Have you never heard of a tape or satellite delay either? That's what happens with live TV from around the world.

I just heard over the wireless that USA are through to the next round. Couldn't quite hear the score due to some static interference. CONGRATULATIONS USA!!!

Well thats probably the gayest post iv seen in a while, congratulations on your lifestyle choice.
If it does end up being Belgium in the next round.......
I like the matchup. Player for player, they're the more talented team. No question. But if you want to compare them to Portugal and Germany, they're definitely more similar to Portugal. Ridiculously good LW is the star. Striker is big and strong but not a world beater. RW is fast and flashy, but not as good as the LW. Attackers like to dribble and go at defenders 1-on-1. Midfield 3 is talented, can go box-to-box, can play physically or with finesse, etc. Belgium's back line and keeper are better than the defensive setup we saw from Portugal, though.
In other words, I think the setup and tactics we used against Portugal can be successful against Belgium as well.

Not clones. But Belgium is more similar to Portugal than to Germany. That was the point.
