Got our point. Now we have to beat Ghana and hope that the Italy win their next game and we are through. Lets go USA.
Can someone better explain that interference or offside call that robbed us of the goal? I've never seen that before.
Settling for a tie is pathetic, the Italians were shot too, put in your last sub...EJ and let him run.... Now we have to beat Ghana....possible, and HOPE Italy beats the Czech republic. Or, we have to beat Ghana by more than 4 goals and then have the Czech republic win by 3... DD
McBride blocked the vision of the goal keeper, it would have probaly NOT been called if he did not lift his foot. But, it was a good call, but most of the time is not called....a very rare call. DD
Gutsy performance by the US. Horrendous officiating!!! I have a serious question. Why is Claudio Reyna held in such high respect? Why is he considered the greatest midfielder in US history and one of US best soccer players ever? I have NEVER seen him shine/control/impact/dominate the midfield of a match- Not a World Cup match anyways. He is one of the most overrated players ever.
Beating the Italians would have been an upset and beating the expectations. The US tying the Italians is a good thing. They screwed up by loosing the first game. WHERE WAS EDDIE JOHNSON???
Remember the Colombia '94. A win is a win is a tie is a tie. Congrats, yanks, send some Greeting cards to that Italian scorer for the U.S. Italy faints. Ghana will be tougher. Italy Game to be replayed on TELEFUTURA at 6:30 p.m. tonight, and I will watch... I only saw the scores... was asleep...
USA dominated this game. Too bad we didn't win. That ref should never ref a WC game again. Bring on Ghana! GO USA!!!!!
have to say the Italians are friggin floppers...its actually a european thing...sad they have so much talent and yet it is overshadowed by their acting skills. Ghana Vs. U.S.A is going to be a great game...i'm actually rooting for Ghana...sorry guys Ivory Coast and Ghana were my teams going into this tournament...being a Canadian i should support my fellow neighbors...but not this time…
We got Hosed.........Royally.......IT WAS BS!!!!!!!!! If you Remember how much the italians were crying when they went out in 2002, this was much worse. That offside call was BS too, McBride had NOTHING to do with the play. How did the lineman know if he was blocking the keeper??????? It was BS!!! We OUTPLAYED those diving, elbow throwing jerks!!!! But in fairness we NEED to SCORE!!!!! the last player to score in a european WC was McBride vs. Iran......8 years ago!!!!!!! How unlucky we are. we still are at the mercy of the Italians no matter what!!!!
