I'm pissed about the fact that they played sloppy, kept using the long ball against tree tall defenders and there was no creativity from the midfielders. De Rossi collecting the ball from the defenders time after time only to blindly kick it forward.
I'm 50/50 about that penalty. You that when you lay a hand on De Rossi (or any Italian for that matter) he'll go down, but then again, there was contact so I don't think the referee really had a choice there but to give it. Well put away by Iaquinta for the equaliser at least.
Once again we gave away a free kick and conceded a goal coming out of that free kick. Paraguay all over again.
Pirlo definately needs to play against Slovakia for us to stand a chance. That's quality and skill we need right now. He always brings the threat of a 20-30 meter shot and his long passes delivered right where they need to be.
Feel free to disagree ofcourse

brazil / ivory coast game was pretty good. kaka was sent off on a red card for being a dick (bad calls or not) but they clinched the round so it wont matter that he doesn't play next match.

USA! USA! USA!
Can't hardly wait.
I'm laughing my *** of right now at Mexico's fate after a horrible game yesterday. They *almost* played well, but sixshooter's above post was much more fitting to how they looked yesterday. Guardado takes too many touches and doesn't have options by the time he looks up. His long shots and play setup are usually stellar, but as a former Atlas fan I was really disappointed with him yesterday. Of course a few inches further down on that crossbar would have really changed the perspective, as well as the course of the game. It was however very telling how much the game changed after he was subbed out. They played like a much more superior team the whole second half and dominated possession. But once again Mexico couldn't connect. The rest of their stars hardly showed, but Salcido and Dos Santos were playing well. Salcido couldn't get the shots he wanted, and Dos Santos must have kissed the grass in front of the goal instead of his jersey three times just in the first half, making for a handful of missed opportunities when combined with that botched header by one of the other guys(Masa Rodriguez maybe?).
The reason I laugh is that they now face Argentina, who knocked them out in the same round last time. My wife and I were watching the game at Buffalo Wild Wings and for some odd reason there was a large group of Argentine fans there. After they made the second goal in overtime to seal the win that damn check couldn't get there fast enough. She was furious
