Italy has been my team since I was a youngin. Funny that my second fav is Korea who eliminated Italy last world cup and they have a possibility to play each other in the second round.

no foul?

6/17/2006 4:37:36 PM

actually since this is a game with Italy match-fixing is a possibility.

6/17/2006 4:37:50 PM

Thanks for calling that foul right when we were trying to start our counterattack.

6/17/2006 4:38:31 PM

Landon was wide open in the center during that whole exchange.

PUT IN EJ NOWWWWW

lovely block

6/17/2006 4:39:57 PM

i know we're tired but we're going back to playing too passive on offense again.

6/17/2006 4:40:04 PM

see thats what i mean..two opportunities for a shot and we move the back BACKWARDS and then lose it

6/17/2006 4:40:39 PM

umm...what happened to the aggressiveness?

6/17/2006 4:40:56 PM

I would put EJ in too right now. NO ONE would be able to keep up with him. Come on Bruce!!!!!!!!!

6/17/2006 4:41:09 PM

wow, this is thriliing....

yawn



maybe QVC is on somewhere

6/17/2006 4:41:22 PM

we've got subs available right?

6/17/2006 4:42:21 PM

buy a dress while youre shopping there

6/17/2006 4:42:31 PM

I should, would make me feel like a man compared to this

6/17/2006 4:43:34 PM

finish them del piero

6/17/2006 4:43:54 PM

im pissed tho. Italy has played like a second rate team 3/4 of this game. we should be up by a goal or two by now if our offense took their heads out of their asses

Why don't you jump up and down and knock some of that sand out of your vagina.

6/17/2006 4:44:08 PM

good clearing!

6/17/2006 4:44:36 PM

I guess in the end there's nothing more American than being a fat fuck who stands around for a minute to do eight seconds of work.

6/17/2006 4:44:41 PM

u forgot about UT football.

6/17/2006 4:45:40 PM

ha, still talking Gappy?

6/17/2006 4:46:15 PM

I can't believe that EJ hasn't been put in yet...

6/17/2006 4:46:23 PM

good foul call

6/17/2006 4:46:55 PM

bad coaching move. we wasted a sub

6/17/2006 4:47:09 PM

Lay off the hair gell. Save some money and you can buy a real house one day.

6/17/2006 4:47:41 PM

Dear Bruce,

Why the fuck are you saving a sub? There's three minutes left and they're happy to sit back.

WTF.

Love,

6/17/2006 4:50:07 PM

apparently youre still watching the game

6/17/2006 4:50:49 PM

um freshmen year of college buddy. That job was a springboard to where I am today and I would not change a thing. Nothing wrong with a turtle neck. I can tell you have a keen eye for looking good.

6/17/2006 4:50:53 PM

Worst reffed game ever.

6/17/2006 4:51:25 PM

anyway back to the game. Troll's are distracting.

6/17/2006 4:51:26 PM

^^^ yeah, figured I made it this far, might as well finish this shit, sweet its over.

^^ HA, you have no idea what you are talking about. Turtlenecks are fucking horrible, there is nothing right about wearing one

Questions: Can the offical be removed from the rest of the games?

Italy 2
USA 0

6/17/2006 4:52:39 PM

actual games....they can be.

A point is a point. I'll take it, I suppose, but I have no fucking clue why EJ didn't come on after Bruce said he was the only good player in the Czech game, or why we didn't attack when they showed know signs of wanting to close down our flank players or go hard at the ball on the inside.

6/17/2006 4:52:48 PM

Well pretty simple now, we must beat ghana and italy must beat the czechs

6/17/2006 4:52:52 PM

Well, we got a point at least.

If you have such a hard on for Italy, why don't you move there?

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if it's 1-1 and the two European teams give a 'wink wink' and the game for all intents and purposes ends after 45..

6/17/2006 4:54:01 PM

haha please no sourness

6/17/2006 4:54:22 PM

^^ haha, yup

[Edited on June 17, 2006 at 4:54 PM. Reason : f]

6/17/2006 4:54:30 PM

shit, now we have to pull for Italy to beat Czech


In order to advance:

1 - We MUST beat Ghana.
2 - If Italy beats Czech, we get 2nd in our group. Italy wins the group.
3 - If Czech beats Italy, we will tie with Italy and go to goal differential. Czech wins the group.
4 - If Italy ties Czech, we will tie with Czech and go to goal differential. Italy wins the group.

6/17/2006 4:54:48 PM

gg USA! at least it wasn't a L

6/17/2006 4:54:55 PM

^^ unless we come out guns ablazing against Ghana and just blow 'em out we need teh Italians to win..

6/17/2006 4:55:43 PM

There's nothing to be sour about. Italy scored both goals and only got a point while playing like dog shit.
