No hyperbole - this is without question the single worst performance I have ever seen from Italy in a major competition.

 

[Texas Ace]

Fuck you, Italy, for such an awful performance.

They looked like Saudi Arabia or some shit with how bad they were.

Costa Rica deserves credit for what they've done, but they also had some luck in catching both Uruguay and Italy on their absolute worst day....not to mention, no Suarez.

That high line of theirs is gonna cost them too.

In other words, don't be surprised if they lose 3-0 in the round of 16.

What a goal from Messi.

He gets the game winner for Argentina again.

Not really the result the US was looking for out of Ghana/Germany but its alright, we're gonna win tomorrow. Portugal is beat up and short some starters. Let's do this!

 

[Texas Ace]

What an outstanding game that was.

That's the kind of game you want a casual fan to see.

We better win this shit. I have now gone out of my way to watch a soccer game.

Only consolation for a loss would be mad Gameday chatter.

That was horrible.

Awesome save by Howard.

 

[Texas Ace]

US playing way better than they did vs Ghaba yet losing.

I think they'll score, I just hope they don't give up another.

 

[data]

We need to score this half.

 

[data]

I'm just learning this sport, alright? Sorry I'm not a sophisticated futbol like you all.

But at least I am willing to provide analysis.

 

[Texas Ace]

US need to regain possession like they had in the 1st half.

 

[Texas Ace]

Damnit Bradley.

You have to score from there.

 

[data]

That was exciting. Can't believe that it didn't net, even with the deflection.

We'll never be able really compete in this sport until the USA can start siphoning off elite athletes from football, basketball, baseball, hell, even hockey, auto racing, and curling.

Bradley turns it over again.

Awful WC for him so far.

 

[Texas Ace]

We'll never be able really compete in this sport until the USA can start siphoning off elite athletes from football, basketball, baseball, hell, even hockey, auto racing, and curling.

Athletes aren't the problem.

It's technique and skill that we lack.
