All the same.

Yids is hardly and insult these days.

The US team has a Ching if that's close enough?

I mearly wanted to point out that the victory celerbrations of some of the Americans here have been less about a won football match but more about a victory over another nationality. A anti-celerbration of enjoyment of the other's lose, rather than of their own teams victory.

Fulham want him. I think it would be a good move. There are other clubs who want him too. Marseille and PSG being among them IIRC, but he should go to Fulham IMO.

They already have Demspey and Johnson so he won't have worry about settling in.

Onyewu was sensational tonight.. im counting days to see him in Fener shirt

I know.

When I was in Spain all the ppl I talked to were resigned to national team failure. I think there is more pressure on Italy because their people expect so much.

But while Spain are chokers in tournaments this confederations cup is not a mark to judge by. Team want the world cup alot more and Spain have broken their curse by winning Euro last year. They are contenders for the WC as much as Brazil and More so than Italy, France and Germany

The Azzurri have a get out of jail free card. They won it last time.

Torres, Xabi, Fabregas, Riera...the EPL finest got owned by the MLS guys.

LOL !!!!

 

[KB824]

Yeah.. but let's have Manchester United play ..

I don't know any MLS team.

Well, let them play the champions. Whoever they are.

Oh, Let's not.

 

[Durden]

Where does Onyewu play now and how old is he? That kid looked like he could wrestle a grizzly!

 

[Bjerknes]

Onyewu looked like he could walk into the Juventus defence today.

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

And you're very right there.

True. Anyway we'll see how it goes, but I think it'll be Fulham for Onyewu. A shame Standard have to replace him, it won't be easy. I've criticised him a lot (he gave away a penalty in the last minute of the last game of the season that would have ended Standard's title dreams, but it was saved), but most of the time he was excellent.

There were only 2 MLS players on the field. Well and The Jew when he came in.

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".

 

[CalcioJuventus]

Absalutely loving it. Lately spain were becoming soo arrogant i just hoped that they'll lose and thank god they did. Congrats to all the americans in this forum.

I dont think their team were becoming arrogant but their media certainly was. The players understand how quick things can turn.. think about how badly their team struggled 2 or 3 years ago. They would struggle to beat teams like Iceland with alot of the same pllayers who won the Euro.

Isn't this guy Indian or something? Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yes, he's Indian American and making a joke.

The fanboy detractors who hate us, Seven and bianconero, are going apeshit because they can't say anything else. They were expecting to have a joyous occasion making fun of the US today, but it didn't happen.

Let them be. They've been owned enough during the past week.

no, you're right

but american's aren't all caucasian

Standard Leige and 27.

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.

 

[Seven]

For all you America lovers, I wasn't expecting anything today. I said the US had a good chance of winning. Morons.

That's my quote!
