The U.S. just beat Spain, as I'm sure you all know. They're currently up 2-0 on Brazil with just about 10 minutes to go in the first half. Not sure that two goals is a safe enough lead for my taste with so much game left to be played, but damn has this been a good show so far. Is it possible that we beat Brazil just after beating the world #1?

Brazil is going to get some red cards thrown their way if they keep running over these US players in frustration.

Is it a foul if you take them out without using your hands?
by msb on Jun 28, 2009 12:16 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, fouls happen all the time with the feet.

That was mostly a joke.
here is a real question— is it my imagination, or is Brazil using headers more to move the ball than the US?

You have a better chance of getting away with it if your arms are kept near your sides
but yeah, you can’t just run over people.

This is seriously out of control. It's a shame I missed both goals.
Howard is a fucking beaaaaaast.

If Brazil loses, they have only themselves to blame.
Having scored those three goals to allow the US team to advance.

That was close.
Awaiting the day I catch a Russell Branyan foul ball. I will make love to it.

IF we can be up 2-0 at the half, then I like our chances.

Also, get ready for the Brazilians to sue you for slander.
Stupid blogger.

Just barging in on the conversation to let you guys know that the M's just traded Mike Morse for Ryan Langerhans.

I thought this was a lie when you wrote it.

Terrible.
Should have at least gotten off a shot there.

It actually looked like it might have gone on on second thought.
Brazil is dominating this half.

Got away with one there.

Robinho gives away a foul and wanders off mumbling inanities to himself. He really is a snivelling little wimp.

Brazil is attacking like a motherfucker.
This is frightening.

If Howard were mortal, we would be down roughly 874-2 right now.

The Confederations Cup is historically, and without exception
turd.
That Egypt-Italy match and the USA’s last two have been brilliant.
Meanwhile, has anyone noticed how obscenely large those corner quadrants are?!

DAMMIT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You got slurved!

So Ronaldinho doesn't play for the Brazilian national team anymore?

Still really good defense.
That was pretty much a perfect corner kick.
by Zwakamatsu on Jun 28, 2009 1:15 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah that is true.
The defense has played an incredible game, albeit I’m not that knowledgeable about soccer.

We'll see you in World Cup, bitches.
Unless we see you before that. I’m not entirely sure.

But hey, great game.

We sure sent a message with these last three games, though

That's what's keeping me from being too upset.
Because goodness that second half was hard to watch.

Also Taylor Graham was in the Qwest press box totally ignoring the Sounders to watch the USA game
by Nick S on Jun 28, 2009 1:29 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Going into Sounders game = happy due to 2-0 lead
Watching 2nd half after Sounders game = ):<
Ronny, TAKE
