    U.S. advances with ...
    1. A win over Algeria. The U.S. would then have five points, enough to ensure one of the top two spots.
    2. A tie against Algeria and a Slovenia win over England. The U.S. would then have three points, good for second place behind Slovenia.
    3. A tie against Algeria and a Slovenia-England tie in which England does not outscore U.S. by two or more goals. The U.S. and England would then each have three points, and the U.S. would win the tiebreaker on total goals scored to finish second behind Slovenia's five points.

    U.S. might advance with ...
    1. A tie against Algeria and a Slovenia-England tie in which England outscores the U.S. by exactly two goals. In that scenario, the U.S. and England would be equal on points, goal differential and goals scored, meaning the advancement would come down to a "drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee."

    U.S. is eliminated with ...
    1. A loss to Algeria. The U.S. would then be stuck at two points, while Algeria would jump up to four. With Slovenia already having four, the U.S. would not have enough to move on.
    2. A tie against Algeria and an England win over Slovenia. The U.S. would then have only three points, while England's win would give them five and Slovenia would have four.
    3. A tie against Algeria and a Slovenia-England tie in which England outscores the U.S. by three or more goals. The U.S. and England would then each have three points, and the U.S. would lose the tiebreaker on total goals scored to finish third behind Slovenia and England.

    1. it's a REF not a judge. get it right
    2. you can curse at a REF as long as you aren't abusive to him. its also at his discretion not yours.
    3. i guess you didn't have problem with slovenia holding not one BUT 2 american players on the corner kick in the 86th minute. those are automatic penalty kicks. you musta have forgotten those huh. :roll:
    4. both sides were dirty. but again i guess slovenia gets a pass right. :roll:

    1. Relax the person is from Slovenia it's not gonna translate the same ;)

    2. Very True

    3. He said that we were screwed on that play.

    4. Both sides I thought played fairly clean except for all the holding. Dempsey's elbow's weren't intentional I don't think either.


    The problem was our effort in the first half even though we missed some easy opportunities in front of net. I know it's beating a dead horse but the officiating was atrocious. No one is even talking about the Findlay card that's how bad it was.

    Next game we start Buddle and Altidore up front. Run a Midfield of Donovan, Feilhaber, Bradley, Dempsey.

    Defense we need Bocanegra, Cherundolo, DeMerit, & Bornstein.

    Bring in Edu, Onyewu, and Gomez as the subs.
    NERDS!

    Man, Bornstein scares me out there. The Findlay card was a joke. This was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen.

    Onyewu scares me right now because I don't feel that he's in game shape right now.

    DeMerit has been aggressive and playing well though. I'm OK w/ Spector instead of Bornstein though. Guch just scares me too much right now.

    to be honest Onyewu can't play defense period. i think he hurts our D but you need his veteran presence.

    I like DeMerit's play. He has been solid. Bradley is my new favorite player.

    The one on Bradley is insane. The rest are part of the game. But yeah, fucking piss poor.

    We will still advance. I have no worries with this team now.

    What that picture is still missing is a second or two later Altidore gets mugged too. Worst call I've ever seen. And I'm a US fan, I've seen a ton of terrible calls.

    All I gotta say is these blue US jerseys are the worst fucking things I've ever seen. Looks like something out of 1992. Uuuuugly.

    These jerseys are fucking horrible. Last years uni's were awesome and these look like a fucking beauty pagent. Just a disgrace. I was planning on buying one but fuck that.

    Yeah, some chick I know bought one and I've been reaming her about it ever since. She avoids my texts, phone calls, and conversation because it is what I start with.

    Don't they have a white one that doesn't have this stupid design on it? Reminds me of when MLB teams had those horrendous future uniforms back in like '96.

    Good for you dude, they are fuckling horrible, I saw rumors about these jerseys in May and I was praying it wasn't true.

    The white ones are not as bad but they still have the sash bullshit.

    Yeah, they're not bad. Simple, which all uni's should be.

    Hell, if they wanted to get absolutely tacky then they should just make their jerseys the American flag. A bunch of stars and strips wrapped around it. If you're gonna make it shitty looking, then be deliberate. At least I can respect that for their humor. Maybe some shorts the same way - jamz/zooba style.
