starting...
my wife and I are betting against each other. If I win, she does the dishes for the next month, and opposite if she does
I say USA, even though they haven't beaten Brazil in a decade
my wife....has no patriotic spirit.
I'd be shocked if the USA can win.
What channel?
Scratch that... found it ESPN.
My cable isn't showing it on the menu on ESPN HD, but just changed to it, and it's on!!!

ESPN
I might of jumped the gun though, they started the pre-show at 1, game at 1:30
the program guide says it PBA bowling, but it's actually the FIFA championship
I see we are having the same issues.
I better get some fresh batteries in my remote...
I'm going to be doing plenty of flipping between this and WSBK.
GOAL!!!!
Usa seems to have forgotten that it sucks, and brazil has been lost when it comes to defense ever since Roberto Carlos retired
*GAME SCORE IN POST**You have been warned*
Just flipped from WSBK to the footie game - didn't expect to see the US up 2 - 1. Lots of fouls floating around... Let's hope the US can hold on
How bout some lousy ref job there?
That's bullshit, that was a goal
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Try to Take that one away
3-2
:)

I guess I'll get my dish glovess out.... :-[
hell of a game though!
That's why I quit watching USA Soccer about 15 years ago.
they are so make the beast with two backsing inconsistent.
I hope they carry this play forward. Their last few games before the Conf Cup were dismal and obviously they gelled during the tournament. I don't think they were inconsistent in that game at all, just more that they tired and the passes and lanes they were cutting off in the beginning were harder to get to as the game wore. The US has never had that crisp passing game and Brazil is way too good at it.
No knock on Donovan, the guy was everywhere, but why can't the US produce a top tier midfielder? If we had a creative offensive midfielder as elite as our goalies it would certainly help. Howard was exceptional.

they can be wonderful when they set their minds to it (and get beasley off the field)
we packed a bar in philly to watch the game. the whole place exploded on the 2 goals, but we kept singing for most of the game despite the comeback from brazil.
as dissapointing as it is, a 1 goal loss to brazil is nothing to scoff at. the first half was great. the second half, brazil remembered who they were.
i hope the boys keep up that level of play going to azteca in august. it would be great to beat the mexicans on their turf as well. it would be evenbetter if i could find a way to afford the trip down :)

We're hopefully going to our first Portland Timbers game tomorrow. They're playing the Seattle Sounders. Can't wait!

Hadn't planned on it. The closest venue looks to be in Seattle which is a hike for us but I would have loved to have gone.
The Timbers are playing the alternate team for Bayern Munich on Thursday night too. It's nice to have a soccer team like the Timbers so close.
i thought seattle was closer.
sorry to hear you'll miss the game.
we get the qtr final game for the US' group ;D
