As one announcer pointed out, Robben was already on the way down when contact was made. Given the circumstances, it was a ridiculous giveaway. And as for speculating about who will win ensuing games, don't bother to guess. Only Sepp Blatter and his well trained officials know that answer.
Outstanding goalkeeping !!! Go us
US played in an uphill battle against 4 of the best teams in the entire tournament and was not embarrassed by any of them. The fact that they were able to resist the onslaught of offense by the best team I have seen so far for a full 90+ minutes, says a lot about their courage and stamina. As you so eloquently indicated, they were very inferior in terms of skill. They had to do this without their best defender, Kyle Breckerman and one of their two strikers, Jozy Altidore. Nonetheless, they played their hearts out and acquitted themselves nicely. What did you do this month? Why are you heaping on the hate? Surely you can understand that they wanted this win much more than you did. These guys are heroes in my eyes.
First, I'll admit that I only watch soccer every four years, during the World Cup. It's kind of fun but this US team (with the exception of the goalie Howard) totally sucked. They made it to the quarters but only won one game in the tournament against a fourth world country, Ghana. Today's game sucked and I hope the American players and their useless coach stay in Brazil. Maybe they can go live in a Favella or whatever they call those miserable, crime ridden slums that surround the cities. Don't come home!
