The Quarter Final at Metlife is on June 17. It'll be 1B vs 2A, which is why I'm all twitchy about Sunday. Not that I wouldn't like to see Brazil, but I know a lot of Ecuadorians.

dude, I'm in tomorrow. will be three of us. let me know if you need me to bring anythingCliffy6745 said:
Nice. I saw some clips of the goals and looked like it was sweet. Yeah, ours aren't very good for Saturday. Middle level of 3 levels behind the goal, but whatever, I have bitched about the prices plenty and the tournament is paying for it. I think we are at the opposite end of the American Outlaws which kind of stinks. Gonna be a good drunk time. Weather is supposed to be glorious. Think we have at least 10 people coming and tailgating.Indifference71 said:
It was a good time. My seats were kinda shitty, but still awesome to be at a big international game like that....my first time seeing the U.S. in person. Philly should be rocking on Saturday night.Cliffy6745 said:
Yessir. How was the game? I was at a concert and didn't see a second of it, but looks like it was probably a good time. Pumped for SaturdayIndifference71 said:Well that was more like it. Very nice performance all around. Have themselves in a position to advance against a shitty Paraguay team on Saturday.
I have seen them a few times when I was a kid, but never something like this.

I can say I saw Clint Dempsey score a goal in person. I dig it.
Phenomenal day. The venue fucking sucked and was so unprepared0 -

security wasn't too bad but that's venue to venue I think. No NFL stadium allows bags. There were a couple real long lines but we were able to walk a bit and find a quick one.ldent42 said:

Soldier Field wasn't too bad last week with the big crowds. But overall it feels like the preparation for this tournament hasn't been the best.Cliffy6745 said:

Sounded like a rowdy crowd in Philly last night. Should be another rowdy crowd in Seattle on Thursday for the QF....glad they ended up there. Should be a mostly US crowd no matter who they play.0 -

Lines for beer in the game were unbearable. Have been to plenty of eagles games and other events and the Linc and have never experienced anything like that. They clearly had a skeleton crew because of it not being sold out, but it was absurd.
As for the game. Was awesome seeing Dempsey score. Brooks played an incredible game. Was furious about how little the possessed, but I had no clue Yedlin got sent off. It could have been me being drunk but I don't think anyone around me knew. The ref was horrific and 6 minutes of extra time?!? My section was a good time. There as a big group a few rows in front of us that was rowdy, my group of 8 was pretty solid and there was a big group behind us that we had a great time with. All around a great day0 -
Great game last night. Dempsey is just awesome. Brooks has been great this whole tournament. Jones, Bedoya and Wood are all out for the semifinal game. Bedoya being out is really going to hurt. Assuming Argentina will pound Venezuela and face the US. Going to be a tough one.0

It was a really exciting game. If only it would have been played here instead of the other side of the country
We DO get Yedlin back for the Semifinal game though. Still, I don't wanna be negative, but realistically I don't see us beating Argentina, particularly with Messi on the pitch, especially down three of our starters.NYC 06/24/08-Auckland 11/27/09-Chch 11/29/09-Newark 05/18/10-Atlanta 09/22/12-Chicago 07/19/13-Brooklyn 10/18/13 & 10/19/13-Hartford 10/25/13-Baltimore 10/27/13-Auckland 1/17/14-GC 1/19/14-Melbourne 1/24/14-Sydney 1/26/14-Amsterdam 6/16/14 & 6/17/14-Milan 6/20/14-Berlin 6/26/14-Leeds 7/8/14-Milton Keynes 7/11/14-St. Louis 10/3/14-NYC 9/26/15

Had a blast at the tailgate and the game. beer lines were definitely a drag. I left at the 40 minute mark to hit the bathroom and try to beat the halftime beer line surge. I didn't see yedlin get his card or get sent off either (funny that you didn't know this either -- probably not a coincidence after our aggressive tailgate -- haha). I was complaining the entire second half about how much the USA was sitting back. Little did I know they were playing a man down -- haha. people around me must have thought I was a genius.Cliffy6745 said:

Definitely a cool experience. I'd definitely go to another game if philly gets the national team again.0 -
Big one tonight. Hard to see the US taking down Argentina, but you never know. Hopefully it goes the same way things went when US beat Spain back in the 09 Confederations Cup.0

Hoping for a solid showing tonight. Not often we get to see the US play a team like this in a tournament, so pretty pumped.Indifference71 said:Big one tonight.
