well, spain is ranked number 1 in the world and hasn't lost in 37 matches.
kickoff in 5 minutes.
for 99.9% of the people who dont care i will fill you in anyway. the us needed to beat egypt by 3 goals and they needed brazil to beat italy by 3 goals to advance to the semis.
the near impossible happened and now our reward is coming today. this will go along way in helping us put together a solid 11 for the world cup.
*sigh* Landycakes on the wing....Adu on the bench again.

#1 team in the world going down fellas, lets keep it up

I Survived Drunkytown with OleVet and all I got was this rash!
With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

ouch to the Bradley red card. Dempsey out for Bornstein in a purely defensive move.

Huge upset win. 35 match unbeaten streak for Spain is gonzo.

Wow. Just wow.
We own the Iberian Peninsula.
La ola es mía.
Fantastic defensive performance by the boys today. Spain came out flat, we jumped on them early and put on some pressure, and they didn't get into their groove right away, which threw them off. El Nino played one of the worst games I've seen him play for either Spain or Liverpool. Xavi was not his usual self, either.
at this point in the process, I can only assume it was a typo and they meant to say "cram"...
Not to be a negative Nancy...
But the play of the mid-fielders nearly pissed this away.
If not for a stout defense and an even more stout performance by Tim Howard (congrats on getting your 1st Confed Cup win, BTW, even if you're an Evertonian) this upset would not have been possible.
As for El Nino, it did seem like he was waiting for something to happen. Waiting for his teammates to set him up with a magnificent chance that never came.
And as for the straight red to Michael Bradely...
Uhh, no, ref. That was maybe a yellow at most. Too bad he'll miss the Final.
Just imagine there's a really obnoxious graphical sig here
well to be fair to Torres, anytime the ball got anywhere near David Villa it didn't go anywhere but towards a shot on goal. His selfishness made Onyewu's defense look real good today, sounds like it's a certainty that Gooch will get a second shot at proving he can be an effective defender in England soon.Originally Posted by GrapevineSooner
I have to agree with my friend bill that Bradley will replace him son with Feilhaber rather than Freddy Adu who will likely not see any action.

I think Gooch is headed to Fenerbahçe, actually.

yeah report is he agreed to a 3 year deal with them. Before that it sounded like he was very very likely to sign with Birmingham.

feilhaber will definitely play for bradley. adu is still too green to put in this type situation. we might see beasley on the left this time (i hope) to pressure the brazilian backs.
bradley is wise beyond his years and should be our captain for a decade.
hopefully we come ready to play brazil this time. beating spain shouldn't damage our confidence.
guess what bitches??? i just took USA +1000 for 50 bucks...
can you tell me how much i won??
$500 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
USA
Oguchi Onyewu is my boy by the way... nobody claim him
I think we'll see the same lineup minus bradley that we saw today.
