World Cup 2010 - South Africa Thread

40-odd years of good luck finally being offset in just one game? :lol:
Better now than later (e.g. against England in penalties :devil:)

Oh well, Germany's always struggling with those eastern european teams.
Bulgary '94, Croatia '98, Poland in 2006, Croatia in 08 and now Serbia. I'm not really surprised at the result.
Doesn't really matter anyway. Two years ago we lost our second game against Croatia (complete with a red card) and still made it to the finals.
 
And do I have the only commentator who keeps mistaking Nigeria for Algeria.

"And the US will have to better in their final group game against Nigeria."
 
:wtf: That's some comeback the USA have made. I really thought they were down and out.

Oh well, as I said upthread, a draw is in general better news for us.

As long as noone scores in the last few minutes, which USA nearly did.
 
Disallowing that goal was a terrible mistake imo. If anything the USA should have gotten a penalty kick there if the ball hadn't gone in anyway. I'm totally at a loss what the ref thought the US guys did wrong there. It certainly wasn't offside I think.
 
The USA got robbed. By the bloody Ref. That was a fine goal, and it should have stood.
 
Well, too bad for the USA. I hope they make it into th 1/8 finals even more now. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if they beat Algeria next week, that's entirely realistic still, isn't it?
 
Freaking ridiculous. That should have ended 2:3 in favor of the US. But, a 2:2 draw after being down 2:0 isn't anything to sneeze at. Now the US needs to go out and take care of business against Algeria.

It would also help if they'd stop conceding goals early on and putting themselves in a hole.
 
Well, too bad for the USA. I hope they make it into th 1/8 finals even more now. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if they beat Algeria next week, that's entirely realistic still, isn't it?
If we beat Slovenia as well, I think it is.
 
This ref's career is finished. There are "people" who will see to it. He made multiple godawful calls.

Why can't I be wrong, just this once. Well, it was good while it lasted. I will eat an entire crow dinner if this ends up anything other than US defeat.

Would you like some salt with your crow?
Um...yes, please. :o That must have been one hell of a locker room speech. I'm getting so tired of the US coming from behind. Champion teams can't play like that. But none of that takes away from what they achieved.


What kind of wine goes good with crow?
