Futbol. Tonight. Los Estados Unidos vs. Ghana. 6pm ET kickoff. Get thee to a television and enjoy the match. This is not a preview post, because hell if I know much about the USMNT. But it can serve as live blog central, and since we're here, why not some clips and vids:
You know Lee Greenwood is fired up for tonight...
As are these marionettes...
The Hulkster knows what's up...
According to the interwebz, this young lady rooted on the good guys the last time Ghana and the U.S. face off...
Which I imagine is where these two fellas met...
For the Shlara set...(sure, he didn't make the team, but the request was made)
And one more fan foto for good measure...
GO GIT 'EM, BOYS

Nice of Portugal to take the day off.
ReplyDeleteThey want to show the Spaniards what a REAL vacation looks like.
ReplyDeletea rout here is good for us. we need all the goal differential help we can get.
ReplyDeletewould also increase the likelihood that germany would have nothing to play for against us in the group finale.
ReplyDeletemaybe it's density
ReplyDeleteso, some donk named Pepe headbutted a dude and will be suspended for the game against the U.S., and now some other guy named Coentrao appears to be injured. I imagine you soccer folks will tell me this bodes well in USMNT's second match
ReplyDeleteportugal are imploding
ReplyDeleteSeven years ago we had a music and dance troupe from Ghana living a down the street from us. I befriended one of them, even though the boss didn't like them associating with the neighbors.
ReplyDeleteI sent him back to Ghana with an Sony Discman and a stack of assorted CDs. He flipped out over Buddy Holly. 'I like dees very very much!'
Only a few hours until we see the impact this cultural exchange has on today's match.
getting myself a birthday gift because my kids failed me. do i go with the usmnt home jersey, road jersey, or training shirt?
ReplyDeleteThe Giants of New York beat the Packers of Green Bay. It was a most ripping victory.
ReplyDeleteHome jersey
ReplyDeleteI would get a TMNT jersey.
ReplyDeleteapparently Portugal's goalkeeper is also hurt
ReplyDeleteSo, of the 10 or so girls that were remaining on the hit reality show "I Wanna Marry Harry", one of them was skeptical about "Harry's" true identity. She is no longer on the show, leaving us with the believers. If currently disappointed with today's youth, don't watch this. It's really something. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated. You're welcome.
ReplyDeleteYes, we watch this trash tv after the kiddos have gone to bed. Tonight, soccer.
After the show premiered to absolutely abysmal numbers [2 million viewers for the premiere, and less than 1 million for the following episodes] and horrible reviews, it’s been pulled from the air.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI watched about 169 seconds of "Marry Harry" at Dan's suggestion and I was stunned by the contestants' stupidity. So stunned that I fell off the couch and when I awoke my TV was tuned to a bunch of foreign guys playing soccer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'll be sending a lot more time in New Brunswick, NJ due to work. Aren't there a few G:TBers in that neck of the woods?
ReplyDeleteThat's the beauty of the show - the stupidity. The girls are horrific. I was anticipating a great last episode when the dame who falls madly in love with him for his charm, kindness, and humor finds out he's not a Prince with his own security detail, helicopters, yachts, and mansions. I'm guessing, just guessing, she has a change of heart - and to see that play out...Yes please.
ReplyDeleteSorry Squeeks, it's just Dave.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you weren't expecting your peers on a reality show titled "I Wanna Marry Harry"
ReplyDeleteThe ladies of W&M don't usually reach the level of reality show attractiveness. Of course, neither do the guys other than Whitney.
ReplyDeleteSo just Dave and Fat Cats? That'll have to do.
ReplyDeleteSqueaker, I remember taking you down to New Brunswick one night for some Corner Tavern/cheesesteak & egg rockin good fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd by "taking you down to New Brunswick" you mean ...
ReplyDeletePoint of order Marls, you're completely overlooking Wheel of Jordan.
ReplyDeletedeuce!
ReplyDeleteGhana's kits are dope.
ReplyDeleteClarence was that the same trip we saw Wilco in the swimming pool in Williamsburg Park?
ReplyDeleteDamn it, Altidore.
we look like shit
ReplyDeletebeasley looks like he's never played the game before. and this is as bad as i've seen bradley play. lucky to be on top.
ReplyDeleteWe've been awful in terms of possession and generating any sort of offensive build up. As Rob said, we're lucky to be winning. Though that luck is offset by the awful injury luck we're experiencing.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember Bradley playing so poorly.
ReplyDeleteWe're teetering.
We have Ghanarrhea
ReplyDeleteBradley has been paid off.
ReplyDeleteBradley was shit but Beckerman and Jones were terrific.
ReplyDeleteAnd Klinsman deserves some credit for John Brooks.
How awkward are the Landon Donovan interviews?
ReplyDeleteReally awkward. That last 10 minutes was torture.
ReplyDeletePretty amazing result considering the pace of play. It must be brutally humid there.
ReplyDeleteour defensive shape was pretty good, but our possession was abysmal. fully expect bradley to be terrific against portugal.
ReplyDeletehang on!
ReplyDeletethat's a good soccer strategy.
second time in two days i am pleasantly drunk after an excellent world cup party and win. life is pretty excellent.
Dave, you are a teacher. Life is always excellent.
ReplyDeleteWilco played in Williamsburg??
ReplyDeleteThat Brooks kid was born in 1993???
ReplyDeleteShit, I'm old...
I didn't know that aggregating celebrity tweets on a certain topic constituted news. ESPN thinks it does.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that ESPN buried Rick Reilly's last article. Dude hasn't been relevant in forever.
Not sure what TR is talking about. I think it may be the Johnny Walker talking.
ReplyDeleteHi Gheorghies.
Is anyone else watching J-Lo on Fallon? That's some dress she has on
