I was yelling at Spector to carry it. Glad he did not listen.

This is incredible.

 

I've got the Brazil game on the PIP. This is actually pretty intense.

 

Ooooh, the Brazil goalie came WAY out, and Italy had a chance just now.

Yikes!!! Brazil's keeper 40 yards from his own goal!!! Stay between the pipes big fella.

Wow. It's bizarre!!

BTW, would there be a less deserved advancement than the US would be getting here? They played like utter crap in the other two games, and would have been given two absolute gifts by Egypt and Brazil.

I was thinking right before that they Dempsey needed to come out. :sssh:

Gouzan has played a pretty nice game, IMO.

Man, Egypt is getting some excellent corner kicks.

I agree, although Italy have not played well enough to advance either IMO. It would be a shame for any of the 3 to go through, but someone has to.

I've only been watching since halftime, but I've been very satisfied with the lack of dives. A lot more honest game than usual.

This Brazil team is nearly a carbon copy of the 1994 team. Lightning fast, small, agile forwards with big, strong, skillful defenders.

About 15 more minutes or so. Need some tight D.

A goal by any team not named Brazil would advance a team at this point.

It will be just like the Italians to steal one here late. They are famous for it. They do just enough to get by.

I understand that the US is not going to be as aggressive as they have all they need if the other game stays the same, but I don't like how drawn in they seem now. Instead of every other minute there was a US chance, it's now Egypt with those chances.
