Yeah, it was not even close to fair. The keeper got obstructed in his safe area. To bad that shot of kewell didn't go in. Oh and this game can get out of hand
Yeah the difference is that in Mexico people generally care about soccer and don't need to hear about Mexico all the time. The US is not at that point yet. They need to cater to their audience and the majority of people watching because of the US team and just casually watch other games and honestly really only care about the US team. That is how ABC/ESPN try to keep them around. I don't think you can blame them for trying to get better ratings. For those that love soccer, it might be annoying, but sadly there are not enough. Maybe someday they will not have to do that to keep people watching, but for now, I think they do.
Here's the starting XI, 4-5-1 (that can easily switch to a Chelsea style 4-3-3): Keller Cherundolo Onyewu Pope Lewis Beasley Reyna Mastroeni Donovan Convey McBride I'm off to a class that I absolutely can't miss, what type of college class has assignments due every day and random pop quizes that count for 25% of your grade? I'll be watching on TV about three hours late and then will be back to discuss.
YES Equilizer for Australia !! Bad call by Ref, missed a penalty kick for Japan, but that equals out the Goal by Japan that should not have counted. DD
T-minus one hour and 8 minutes until I am off the internet for the day (work-related sites excluded)! USA! USA! USA!
That is what I am talking about Wilkshire should never have played, Cahill in the midfield with Kewell on the left. Kennedy was brilliant up front when he came on. Cahill is a national hero
Mexico played like crap at first, but it was good to see them get back on track... I can't wait for Team USA...I will be going home for lunch to watch it... USA, USA, USA...!!!
About Japan's goal - the announcing team here said that the Australian goalie only had himself to blame and it was a correct call. He was creating the situation by running into the attackers. Anyway I'm real happy Australia won as it meant so did I. 2.55 payback, woohoo!
