B. Gooch and Howard need to get off this long ball bullshit. Its all they did all game. No build ups. I cant be anymore critical than that cause somehow it resulted in 2 goals.
F. We need to shoot more often.
golf4life2008;394490 wrote:Okay since England and Algeria tied 0-0, what does the US need to happen to qualify?
Obviously we need to win our next game vs Algeria correct? What are the scenarios?
Laley23;394496 wrote:Scenario 1:
We win
Scenario 2:
We tie, Slovenia beats England
Thats it. Now, where we finish (first or second) is still up for grabs, but we really just need to focus on beating Algeria and we are in.
. I think I said offsides in one of my posts so consider it me just getting back at you for making a mistake!

Actually I just went and checked my posts I didn't say offsides yayy sooo thats what you get for being grammar police!
Laley23;394520 wrote:haha, not grammar police per se, i dont give two fucks about grammar. This is just not understanding what the rule is stating. It is derived from when a person had to be on their side to be considered in the play. If you werent it was illegal and "offside" as in on the wrong side. If you pluralize it, your basically saying the player isnt in the game because he is not on either side. Its just always annoyed me for some reason when people say offsides.
Laley23;394547 wrote:^^^I blame Onyewu for both goals. He shouldve stepped up on both. First one he probably blocks (btw, Howard said he lost the ball when Onyewu screened him) and the second one he wouldnt have kept ljbnijidsfgkfdhg onside. Not to mention, he was standing still, so the passer coulve just dribbled around him if he wanted to anyway lol.
But yeah, I liked Torres, but he or Bradley need to play the holding mid better. Id say Torres as he is a better passer/more creative and Bradley can go forward better. But Bradley is the bettter defender. Either way, better than Clark.
Findley, well that yellow card is a blessing in disguise. Now that bitch wont be able to play next game haha.

slingshot4ever;394607 wrote:Quick question. What if we tie 0-0, and the England game ties 2-2. How do they break the tie between England and US since we bothwould have scored and given up the same amount of goals and tied one another????
Laley23;394613 wrote:Total goals scored would also be tied 3-3, then its a coin flip I think.
Glory Days;394624 wrote:no, i dont there is a coin flip. it goes back to the qualifying rounds i think for points or goals.
If both teams are tied on the “goals scored” tiebreaker – England draws 2-2, USA draws 0-2, for example – it will come down to a coin flip, since the head-to-head tiebreaker will be indecisive.
The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows:
a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches;
b) goal difference in all group matches;
c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches.
If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria,
their rankings will be determined as follows:
d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between
the teams concerned;
e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the
teams concerned;
f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the
teams concerned;
g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
