DR HOLLIDAY Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Studs up stomp towards the opponents knee is generally a sending-off offense. So is biting someone. Studs up on a sliding tackle yes, but not even sure what you would call that incident. wasn't that bad because he lifted his leg from ground, if he kept it on ground he could have broken it. No where near enough force to come close to breaking his leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hours before U.S.-Germany kickoff, Recife is hit by torrential rain: http://www.washingto...orrential-rain/ Sounds like the perfect conditions for a 0-0 tie. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sloth Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The U.S. shouldn't be looking at the tie breakers. Play for the win. A W will put the U.S. against Algeria or Russia. Odds of playing South Korea are slim. If the U.S. finishes second in the group, they'll have to play Belgium. Sure, the U.S. played a great game against Portugal. Possibly the best game ever for the U.S. in a World Cup game. Possession was just shy of 50/50 and they had around 15 shots. Almost double the amount they had against Ghana. Minus two bone headed mistakes, the U.S. played a great game. And to do that against Portugal is very impressive. Klinssman is doing a lot for U.S. soccer.

26CornerBlitz Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 @NYTSports Breaking: Luis Suarez banned for 9 games, suspended from all soccer-related activity for four months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) @NYTSports Breaking: Luis Suarez banned for 9 games, suspended from all soccer-related activity for four months. Good. He will miss the rest of this tournament, most if not all of Uruguay's next competitive tournament, and the four month part means he can't start the Premier League season with Liverpool.

LastPommerFan Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think Klinsman is going to play for the win. The difference in the path for the group winner and the group runner up is stark. Neither of these teams wants to land in the bracket with Belgium and Messi. They'll want Algeria/Russia and France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Aud Smell Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 FIFA > EFA > EPL. i'm sure that's right as a practical matter. that said, FIFA's lawyers are looking into whether their ban can bar a transfer to a new club. and liverpool just issued a statement saying they're going to take time to consider what FIFA has done before making any further comment on the situation.

Claude_Verret Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Anyone else see the HBO Real Sports piece on match fixing in soccer? It's pretty rampant in Europe. Big money coming from Asia to bribe players and refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) FIFA > FA > EPL right? I think it's the English Football Association and we're just used to seeing it as "The FA" but I may be wrong. In any event, that's how it flows. i'm sure that's right as a practical matter. that said, FIFA's lawyers are looking into whether their ban can bar a transfer to a new club. and liverpool just issued a statement saying they're going to take time to consider what FIFA has done before making any further comment on the situation. Yeah, he's been the subject of a rumor regarding a transfer from Liverpool to Barca so they need to straighten that out.

sabre snipe Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Bradley with some good through balls but his touches have been horrible near the Germans box-- just keeps giving the ball away. Germany dominated play early but I like how we responded. Had some decent chances. Portugal up 1-0 which is good for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
