USA v Slovenia

You've also got to look at how they've been lined up, the system is predictable and limited, the centre midfielders have to make sure there passing is perfect and that's not easy when your centre forwards are so far forward, right up against the centre backs and static. 4-4-2 with two out and out centre forwards doesn't work at this level in my opinion, it leaves your team exposed.

Mexico are definitely better than USA though, I called that one.
 
Really nervous about this game. US has the background of doing well against teams that are much better and then sinking to the level of their opponents, who they should beat. I'd have more faith in US vs Germany than in US vs Slovania.

You nailed it on the head.

The USA, in a word, are awful today. Absolutely atrocious and on this performance, do not deserve to go through to the 2nd round anyway.

Too bad.

Mexico beats us in Mexico, we beat them in the U.S.

Not taking nothing from Mexico, they are a good side..
 
I don't give a [Poor language removed]. The germans getting beat, the Spaniards getting beat. The Americans getting beat. What is the not to gloat about?

Except when they play us anywhere but Azteca.

Somebody pinch me! (although this sets up England perfectly to have their pants pulled down big style tonight).
 
Looks like the Clark bashers don't have much to hang their hat on now do they? DM's lost their man on the first goal and they can't blame it on Clark.

I'd bring Holden in for Findley and move Landon up top. Buddle won't do anything against this team because our forwards aren't getting any service anyway.

We could still get a draw out of this but it's unlikely.

I'm ready to say [Poor language removed] it and bring on Beasley and Holden, throw Donovan and Demps up top and run a 4-6
 
...and the worst part is that I'm missing work for this tripe. I should have gone in and saved myself the trouble.

In all honesty, I think every American supporter knew this type of performance/result was a possibility but didn't want to admit it, myself included.

I also think deep down, we all believe we can pull a draw out of this.

Ghost speaks for me, too.

And my glees only partly because of how smug the yanks on here were after last saturdays game and going on about this new world order and how the 'eurotrash' were old hat. The way I see it, irrational dislike of a country can be expreseed in two ways. Laughing at them when they lose at football or finding an ex-pat and throwing a brick through their window. And in this economy, I can't afford the bricks.

Having said, I should keep quiet in case it ends up 3-2 and then Algeria hammer us.
