USA-Brazil Confederations Cup Final (Sun 2 pm ESPN)

[Jake]

Wow...I think we just caught a major break there. Great job by Howard to make it look like a no goal.

 

[osuteke]

That was a goal.

Come on man, they're not attacking.

 

[Jake]

That was a goal.

Come on man, they're not attacking.

Yep.

I don't think we can "hang on" for another 25+ minutes. It is just too much to expect of the defense and Howard. We must take our chances when we get them - like that! Donovan almost got another.

 

[BB73]

Major break for the USA. Kaka's header was completely past the goal line, IMO. With no ref on the line, they can't see that call.

 

[jlb1705]

The US needs to find another goal. There's a strong chance that the current score won't hold up, plus it would be nice if the US were to go on to win to eliminate questions about Howard's "save".

shit is davies fast

 

[jlb1705]

Shit again.

Brazil ties it in the 74th minute. :ohwell:

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Shit. Absolutely nothing good this half. Where on earth is the counter?

 

[jlb1705]

The US needs a sub at the back. These guys are gassed.

 

[Jake]

Well, NOW we have to attack. Maybe that'll get us back to playing how we got the lead in the first place.

 

[BuckeyeTillIDie]

The dreaded prevent approach.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

looks like they've responded well, so far.

 

[osuteke]

Terrible opportunity blown by Hornstein (Sp).
