Gnarly Sheen 239 Posted June 24, 2009 I searched soccer, football, and confederation cup... no thread. But after the game today it DEFIANTLY deserves a thread. Just watched US beat Spain 2 - 0 Hopefully US will bring it all the way, but not to be a pessimist... I can't deny that i'm doubtful they can even though we just took out the #1 team.

Maskface 77 Posted June 24, 2009 Saw a bit of the game, Spain looked off it, can imagine its down to tiredness as their players come off the back of a long season. USA played well from what I saw though, very hard working, great defensively. Dempsey is a good player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ILOTSMYBRAIN 112 Posted June 24, 2009 Apparently we played very well vs Italy too. I don't follow Soccer at all up until the World Cup where I usually tune in. I think it's funny because I hate watching Baseball on TV but for some reason Soccer which could be much less eventful depending on the match really doesn't bother me at all. I actually enjoy the games. I think it comes down to the fact that I respected the kids that played Soccer while I was in school. Conditioning is crazy. Perhaps I'll actually even see a U.S. team win it in my lifetime, which up until last year I would have never thought it possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LosingMyMind 99 Posted June 24, 2009 Quite a surprise. USA played very well in the first half then defended well against a tide of Spanish pressure in the second, but still got a second goal on the break. It's been a weird tournament throughout. I'd imagine Brazil will beat South Africa to get though to the final so seeing as they beat the US 3 - 0 in the groups stages I'd have them to win. But games like tonight show that anything can happen.

Ferris Bueller 71 Posted June 25, 2009 Perhaps we're getting our soccer act together? I just remember a bunch of old, slow, washed up MLS dudes playing, but we got cats on this squad who play in European leagues. Having that experience is a major plus. Where the hell is Adu at? He was a killer in the under-21 thing last year or whatever, and now he plays for Benfica, one of the best Portuguese clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
