...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.

Tell me I was wrong.
 

My observations:

1) USA in the first half, in English terms...absolute rubbish.

2) Torres just didn't get it done.

3) Might see Goodson pair Demerit in the match against Algeria

4) Feilhaber/Edu additions made a huge difference

5) Altidore needs to learn to know what to do after he gets around his man and know he doesn't have time on the ball.

6) Bradley only plays cause his dad is the coach (according to the last few idiot American supporters who believe that)

7) I'm being honest here. When I saw the referee for the match, I knew there would be some bad [Poor language removed]. Unfortunately it happened to us. I'm still fuming about the Frings handball on the line in '02 and now this ?????? This guy won't see the field again this World Cup or FIFA is officially corrupt. Why can't they just have referees from the countries who have top leagues? This ref made the MLS referees look good, and that's saying something.

8) Win against Algeria, and we move on. Lose and we deserve to be sent home. It's that simple.
 

Well TBH, for their first goal, a good strike but Howard was too far off his line so he has some responsibility for that. As for the second Howard messed up again, made a hash of coming out the way he did and should really have done better.
 
yeah, that 2nd goal, Howard basically made it easy for him, he came out too early, and jumped at his standing foot.. the ball went in slow motion under him.

Howard is worried about his D. He misses Jags and the lads back there.

2) Torres surprised me, in a bad way

4) Good subs from our BB

5) Altidore looks [Poor language removed]. Buddle/ Gomez should start vs Algeria

6) Still makes me laugh, Bradley Jr. Is a super star in the making, (he is 22) Very solid mid fielder

8) Algeria worries me, but your right.. If we can't win than we deserve to go home..

well said... I didn't think howard looked very good today.
 

Chill guys. Looking good for USA. Look at the table, you'll be playing the weakest of the lot next and I honestly think you guys will make it through, at the expense of who else but England.
Good luck. Serbia awaits you in the next round.
 
Altidore is a work in progress but you don't have time for that at a World Cup. I will give him credit for knocking the header into the path of Bradley for our second goal.

My real concern is that we're leaking goals at an alarming rate (is there any other kind of rate?) and that needs to be fixed asap.

Algeria will be no pushovers as evidenced by their game against England.
