USA vs. Australia

[Columbia6]

Absolutely tremendous passing move from USA, really deserved a goal, but good save by Schwarzer.

 

[TX Bill]

Replay shows Schwartzer just barely got his fingers to it or it was in.

 

[TX Bill]

2-1...Buddle with header off cross from Cherundolo.

 

[mezzrow]

Buddle again! 2 - 1! Very nice.

 

[spikeman]

Great cross by Cherondolo, good header from Buddle for the goal. Both of them looking like they should start.

 

[TX Bill]

Kennedy misses point blank header for Australia. Really should be 2-2.


...awwww replay shows it looked a bit harder than it was.

 

[TX Bill]

Cullina with at 30 yard rip parried away by Howard.

 

[TX Bill]

Handbags between Dempsey and Moore at midfield after a foul by Moore.

Yellow cards for both but they headbutted each other and Tyler/Harkes said they'd have both been red carded if in the actual tournament.

 

[TX Bill]

USA really content to let Australia have most of the possession and then try to hit them on the break.

 

[Columbia6]

Half time, 2-1 USA. Really enjoyable game so far, hopefully more goals for both teams in the second half, and no injuries.

Guzan? If it is watch him flap like a duck with a broken wing.

The ground is like the type of place a League Two club would play!
