USA was lucky defeating portugal

[usa]

remember portugal is a weak team. they didn't even quality at the last 2 world cups, usa did. nevertheless usa played great but two of the goals from the match was own goals and it was a bit ugly. i think korea will beat usa and usa will beat poland

Nah man...They almost beat France in the Euro 2000 Semis, and they won the Under 18 and Under 21 world cups.

Peeps always forget that the US made the semis in those tournaments too...this was coming for years and there are plenty more young players that you'll see in the 2006 World Cup.

The future is bright

Always gotta one-up me, dontcha?

[msoprano]

portugal is a good team.....a lot of their players play in the italian league....

[technodefechto]

Alright time for someone portuguese to speak. first off whoever cant understand how portugal is #5 in the world should actually learn a thing or two about soccer outside of the US first before they open their mouths. just so you know there are more games played other than those involving the world cup which factor in on rankings. ask the average american 'who plays on the world cup team' and no one will know. maybe one or two people will say coby jones but thats it. dont get me wrong, im not the biggest soccer fan in the world, but atleast if im gonna talk crap about something im gonna atleast know something about it first. yeah i was really dissapointed with todays game. i couldnt see how a team like portugal with world-class players like Luis Figo (#1 in the world), Nuno Gomes, and Vitor Baia could lose to the usa team. but hey, when you play like crap, thats what happens and thats how portugal played. granted, i am happy that it was usa that beat portugal and not some turd country like senegal (poor France), but, i was very dissapointed with the way portugal played. too many egos if you ask me. thats the major difference youll see between the european teams and the US team. but all i gotta say is that its been just one game. this could be usa's only win, ya never know. they dont exactly have a good track record as far as the world cup goes. but who knows. im still rooting for both portugal and usa, my two homes.

[sutogame]

my eyes popped out after each us score.

ive criticized us soccer but they deserved it esp. donovan and baisley 20 yr old kids were kicking ass.

i hate to admit it but those runs by donovan towards the goal reminded me of michael owen running thru argentina in 98 .

hopefully the ref wont screw the us over against korea but im thinking korea will win with a bullshit penalty.

[barvybe]

hey, we're not all ignorant like the guy who started this thread.

i didn't think we had a chance against portugal - especially without a few of our key players. bottom line is the USA stormed out, got a little lucky and then played well enough to hold on. Portugal didn't play well, but has great players. even though the action was all in the US defensive half, portugal got very few shots.

One thing that did bother me was the portuguese coach blaming it on the late end to the european soccer season (may 15). More than half of the US players also playing in the european league so that's just a crappy excuse.

i think US has a great opportunity to get to the second round. beyond that? probably not.

[mugwump]

Soccer sucks!

Play pinball instead!

[saifuku]

usa...you don't know shit about soccer....stfu and go home and play with yourself.

What do you mean Portugal is a weak team? They have 4 to 5 of the best players in the world.

Read your soccer digest book again and you'll see how good of a team they are....POSER!

[Teknojunkee]

Portugal played like shit today. Really pissed me off. They are capable of so much better than that. Problem is that they dont work well together. Joao Pinto is garbage. Thats why my fav. team Benfica traded him a few years ago. Figo is awesome but no one reads his corner kicks etc...Hopefully things will go together soon. Usa did hustle i must say. I give credit to Beasly for his speed. and p.s. FRANCE SUCKS! lol

[wahoo]

England - Argentina Friday morning at 730am, anyone else psyched?!?!?!?!?!!

[dr0ne]

portugal has a sick team I was extremely disappointed at their performance yesterday....seriously they played like ass. The U.S. played well for how good the U.S. is and the definetely deserved to win since the played much better but portugal could've done a heck of a lot better than that.....

hey yer favorite team is benfica? damn, we're rivals then cause im a fan of Porto lol but it dont matter.....yeah joao pinto has no purpose on bein there...imagine if Jardel was on the team...holy crap...goals everywhere! every corner kick from figo would go in of Jardels head lol

[Teknojunkee]

This guy writes to me like he dont know me. Technodefecto....we've been freinds since we are like 5 dude. VIVA BENFICA! Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. LoL

Portugal will get it back. This game was simply played like shit. Everyone wants to be the superstar, no one can read figo's corners, and JOAO PINTO SUCKS! Ill give you the Jardel comment, but i still hate porto and sporting...lol. Either way portugal is gonna have to stop obsessing about penis size and play some Futebol.

BTW...SF Meet-up Sunday Morning 5am, little water bar by the steps in the main room.
