I missed the lineups etc...is Kun done?

[Saul Goodman]

Kompany's groin injury isn't keeping him out of the starting 11 today. I hope he doesn't make it worse

[Nigels Tackle]

come on belgium!

[Moonchesteri]

I reckon the US will knock Belgium out!

If Michael Bradley plays deeper and doesn't shit the bed vs hazard etc then we sure can. I am not sure he will.

Good news is dozy jozy didn't start.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Belgium would be a much better team if they actually tried playing like one and not a bunch of individuals. It's a testament to the players' quality that they've come so far
being this disorganized.

[Dameerto]

How come Nani just scored for the USA?

[Nigels Tackle]

bbc commentary is doing me head in

[Green & Blue]

Gotta love the never say die attitude of the USA.Hats off they made a great contribution to the tournament.

[Dameerto]

That turned into one of the games of the tournament. Cracking effort in extra time from both teams.

At last a City hero, not Komps, step forward de Marcus Beasley, never put a foot wrong all game. Well done the yanks, but why klinsman left that clown Germain Jones stay on the pitch...totally clueless. And who was the laziest arsehole? Fellaini or Dempsey... a tough call.Great entertainment. And Lukaku loves his mother which might explain a few things,lol

[Ted Hughes]

Well done doodles, you should be very proud of your team. Fantastic effort from everyone concerned.

And shows what a bunch of useless cunts England are.

I agree jermaine was not up to it today but he had been out player of the tournamrnt so far and we couldn't afforded to take off another defensive midfielder. Everyone we had was on the pitch.

just for clarification...if you've just called me "doodles" then we might have some issues.

Otherwise, i agree with what you just said. We had our chances and didn't take them.

That spirit within the England team and you'd have given Columbia the fucking game of the tourney so far. It's an actual shame that you accept Roy and his bollox-y bollox as acceptable. It's part of what i'd call this reverential cultural attachment to faux regal bullshit that underlies the only stuff i dislike about British culture. There is this superficial element to certain things, and the national team being a great example, yet at the most cynical level you cunts are the most insightful and "real" group of people i've ever met -- never one to mince words and a laser-like ability from even the most working class folks to break shit down "like it is" and speak their mind. But why you stand for the bullshit of pomp and circumstance over actual quality content is beyond me. It's almost like you enjoy the misery and bullshit of it to have "something" to call your own.

And yes i'm talking shit, but am i making any sense to anyone? If not, just tell me to fuck off and i'll do my best.

cheers

The basic problem seems to be (to me) that 99.9% of Americans are incredibly proud to be American, even the minorities. Nationalist pride has been hammered out of my generation due to the connotations of racism, and thus we have a football team that, as an extremely high profile export of Britain, are going through the motions on the pitch so as simply not to upset anyone, to keep the sponsors happy and to say and do the 'right' things in a corporate world.

And like you say, Woy is at the head of that - as much as redknapp is a cunt, you suspect he would have at least had the players playing with the right attitude at a tournament perhaps for the first time since Venables

Anybody else likes this Origi fella?

Looks tasty. Rumour has it, or at least the commentators last night would have you believe, the dippers are after him. Looks to me to be a similar type to Sterling, only more direct. Must be better for him ( and Lopez ) if he was to stay at Lille for another year or two

Not sure TBH.
