I doubt the BBC guys know that. All they know is that the best from the EPL got their asses handed to them by some guys from a "third world football country".

Idiots.

I'd take him over Legrottaglie and the finished Cannavaro.

I dont think Canna is finished as a player. He has one or 2 years.. but he will be average at best unless he quits the national team a focuses on club football like Maldini did. That way he will not always be at like 60% and making mistakes.

Uhh, don't go there with the "wop" comment, dude.

ease up kiddo. i was just kidding around but i guess its one of those double standard deals here.

Indeed, and that's another glorious thing about today.

Now hopefully England will get owned by Germany and Italy in the next World Cup so they can cry over that.

Standard Leige and 27.

Good player

Most of the Spanish players have more a mind on hitting the beach than hitting the back of the net.

Btw, wouldnt be suprised ifs Bob Bradley is operating under the M.O of a Hollywood script, the questionned and downtrodden young starlet u not playing a single second, having issues (focuses more on off the pitch stuff), no one expects anything from him, and que in the final showdown

Good player

He tends to make his mistakes during the season. He's kind of what you would expect from an American defender .

Bradley isn't playing him because he's PT was limited at Monaco this season. He's trying to punish Fred for leaving the MLS.

Most of the Spanish players of today have won the Euros, a lot of them have won La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. They can think about the beach now.

Congrats to all the US members for the win today. Well deserved i must say.


I thought Bradley completely outclassed his Spanish counterpart tactically today. I was surprised when i saw the US, start the game of with a high defensive line, and they're two DM's Bradley and Clark were playing higher up the pitch than usual. I thought that was a good move by Bradley Senior, as that gave Xavi, Cesc and Alonso little time on the ball and didn't allow them to weave their magic.

Spain was missing a ball winner in midfield in the mould of Essien or Mascherrano today, i thought the Americans attacked through the middle way too easily sometimes.

In the end, tactical impetus, determination, grit, discipline and a superior attitude won the Americans the game. They knew exactly how to play against Spain, and Spain didn't see this coming. So Props to the US, nobody can say you guys didn't deserve it, after fighting your way from the bottom the way you did.

No Senna. But I really dont know if playing Senna is the best thing for them if it is at the expense of Cesc or Xabi. Spain looked like Real Madrid with the galacticos today who could not get the job done.

It's Monaco

Are there any injuries involved or anything?

 

[Bjerknes]

Nah, he's trying to punish Freddy for Tweeting too much. He always complains in his Tweets about not playing!

 

[Yamen]

Nice win for US over Spain. Who would have thought. Rising up from the ashes.

Great spirit to defend and spot-on counters. That's all you need in such very tactical game.

Btw loving the knee jerk reactions


Some of the comments i've read are just the very definition of knee jerk. Some people saying Spain is overrated. Ya, no wonder they just recently won the Euro's in emphatic fashion, no wonder they're unbeaten for 3 years now.

But ya, one game surely makes us forget the past 3 years, doesn't it?

Another great comment was people saying that Cannavaro was better than Spain's defenders today.

I just hope we're not talking about the Cannavaro we saw last season with Real Madrid, that was Real's worst defender in the Liga after Heinze. Just brilliant how Italian players get overrated on this forum

Not sure but it was a dumb loan anyway. Benfica loaned Fred to a team that had strikers already.

I'd play him over Alonso to be honest.

Exactly: what idiot put them in this Daft tournament.
