danman31 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 11:38 AM) Michael Bradley is f***ing fantastic, this man needs some serious love. He's gonna draw some serious interest over in Europe from a lot of clubs. He's been playing in the Bundesliga for the last two seasons and received fairly regular playing time this year. And he's 22. He's already been on Europe's radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point is hes going to be getting looks from EPL teams, teams far better than Borussia. Wenger has said how big of a fan of Bradley's he is when asked if he would possibly be making a play for him. Sorry for the vaguely worded joy and drunken induced initial post.

zenryan Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 23, 2010 -> 04:49 PM) Ghana is better than the US, luckily not Germany-better. It was the best case scenario. I dont think Ghana is better than the US. They may win but this game is a coin flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Essian I think they are. Without Essian I think we are better. Personally, with Essian Ghana is also better than Germany. I think Ghana matches up extremely well with the US though, but pound for pound I dont' think they are better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think their speed up front matches up badly for the US. This should be a 50/50 based on Essian being out, but I feel like Ghana with the home field gets the nod.

DBAHO Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Ghana weren't impressive when they played Aussie at all. I think US should take that game, but they need to play better than they did against Algeria obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think US should take that game, but they need to play better than they did against Algeria obviously. We played very very well against the Algerians. Best game of the cup so far. They'll need to finish better, but as a whole, I was quite happy with the performance of the team in today's game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think the US should be the favorite against Ghana (I assume that England has betting lines on the game and checking on them it does appear that the US is a slight favorite by almost all betting sites). Whether or not they win, who knows. But without Essein the US is probably the stronger team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The more I see the goal, the more I am amazed by Tim Howard's distribution to Donovan. He hit Donovan in stride at midfield. Sensational. Once that pass is made it's a 4 on 2 and they should score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holland is already in, Japan needs a win or tie, Denmark needs a win, Cameroon is out. The games right now are way more complicated. Italy & New Zealand both qualify with wins. Paraguay needs a win or tie, or it needs the other game to end in a tie. Slovakia needs a win and some help. I do know that if both games end up tied with the same score, then Italy & NZ will draw lots for second place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them screw around too many times in the group stage and somehow scramble through it last second. They have some major issues right now though. I hope New Zealand finds a way to somehow get a win and advance here, it'd be an amazing story.

SuperSteve Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I must say, the New Zealand/Italy game was the only game besides the US games where I was truely committed to a team (NZ). I'll cheer for teams and if they lose it'll be like "aw shuks" but with NZ I wanted them to win so badly. War The All Whites!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
