— Gabriel Malor Good morning, sports fans, after a shaky match against Algeria, it's the Round of 16. The U.S. team will take on Ghana at 2:30pm Eastern.
Ghana is supposedly the weakest team to make it past the group stage, so the U.S. team should have no trouble....Yeah, right. They said the same thing about the Algeria match, which had to be won in extra time after the U.S. team missed shot after shot. With a dozen missed goals and another blind referee, I'm sure this game will keep me on the edge of my seat.
Oh, and here's something to keep an eye for at the top of the game. The national anthems of the two teams play just before the start of the games and soccer fans have a tradition of belting out their nation's song. Didn't know how U.S. fans would handle it, as our national anthem doesn't exactly lend itself to full-throated drunken warbling. But the Americans at the World Cup have been absolutely screaming it at the top of their lungs. And it. is. AWESOME.
Update: From commenter Tami, this doesn't sound good. Err...I mean it sounds good for some, but not for others. (By which I mean: w00t, suckers.)

But the Serbian coach of Ghana, Milovan Rajevac, complained that his side is beset by injuries and may not have enough time to recover after a tough match against Germany.
"We don't have enough to refresh, consolidate our team, Rajevac said. "All we can do is pray that our players will be ready for the next game."

That's a rope-a-dope. Ghana's real problem is that if they don't get the call when they flop in the crease, they can't score.
Which, considering our defense and our luck, means they will win like 7-2

Well given my expert experience of watching about as much nba as I do soccer, I think the NBA players typically fake being fouled, and try to put on a performance there. I don't think they try and spend a minute or more writhing around on the court. So um, more.

In soccer they flop with, often, zero contact. More commonly there's a slight brush on the ankle or tap to the thigh that sends them to the ground rolling in agony.
That's another thing. The NBA doesn't do the rolling in agony. You take the hit, fall to the ground, get the foul, and jump right back up. A classic Rodman/Artest NBA flop is you take a shoulder-charge and don't brace yourself -- you let the shoulder-change send you flying. They really take a serious hit. It's the equivalent of crowding the plate and leaning into the pitch in baseball to get hit by the pitch -- it's cheating, but it still takes bravery since you really have to take the physical damage.

USA will need to score at least 2 goals in this game to overcome the 1 the Refs are sure to give them. They don't want a tie either, the US will lose on penalties.
Hopefully Altidore passes a lot because if he keeps taking the shots the US is doomed.

Ghana is definitely beatable as long as we come out strong for a change. If we win, it doesn't get any easier, because we'll have to play Uruguay.
Personally, I can't wait for this game, because every US win is a shank in the back of the Eurotrash.
Posted by: Wyatt Earp at June 26, 2010 09:38 AM (zgZzy)
The contest must end with a winner and loser. If the score is level after 90 minutes, 30 minutes of extra time are played - 2 15 minute "halves"; no sudden death. All 30 minutes (plus any injury time) are played.
If still level - a penalty shoot-out. Each team gets five penalty kicks (manager determines kicking order). Best of five wins. If still level after 5, first successful penalty wins; however, both players in each round kick - if both succeed, go to next round. Players do not kick twice until all eleven (or however many) on the field at the end of the game (including 'keeper) have kicked - then through again in the same order. If one team is playing with less than 10 men at end of game (due to red cards), the other team must eliminate a player from its kicking order so that both teams enter the shoot-out with the same number of players.

You have to make the emotions big cause the audience is far away and can't see detail. Subtle eye movements and slight frowns are invisible. You have to be really, really happy or really, really sad or really, really angry for the audience to see.
Same thing in soccer with the ref. He can't see everything and might be dozens of yards away from the incident, so you have to roll on the ground in fake agony to get his attention and convince him a foul occurred. If you don't then real fouls won't get called. Of course, as we've seen, this is easily and often abused.
They could fix this with more refs on the field. They have rules against flopping, but since typically the ref doesn't see the actual incident with any detail, he can't tell whether it was flopping or not.
Harsh post game penalties after reviewing the video replay would help as well -- but not in the biggest matches where the reward is so great for flopping.

Sorry, chique. Ghana vs. anybody else? Go Ghana. But this is the USA, the underdogs. Our soccer team is like the Jamaican bobsled team. Plucky little hardworking everymen.
But nothing against Ghana, of course. With France out, there really isn't any truly evil team left.

There won't be an African ref but the European's will be just as bad.
FIFA thinks part of the job of promoting soccer is to allow bad teams to go further than they would have as an incentive. The only game that really matters to them is the one Brazil is playing anyway.

PRE-GAME JOKE
HOW TO SELL.....TOOTH BRUSHES
The kids filed back into class Monday morning. They were very excited.
Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on productive salesmanship.
Little Sally led off: "I sold girl scout cookies and I made $30.00," she said proudly, "My sales approach was to appeal to the customerÂ’s civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success."
"Very good," said the teacher.
Little Jenny was next:
"I sold magazines," she said, "I made $45.00 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events."
"Very good, Jenny." said the teacher..
Eventually, it was Little JohnnyÂ’s turn.
The teacher held her breath....
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherÂ’s desk. "$2,467," he said.
"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling"
‘TOOTHBRUSHES," SAID Little Johnny.
"Toothbrushes," echoed the teacher.
"How could you possibly sell enough toothbrushes to make that much money?"
"I found the busiest corner in town, "said little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand, I gave everybody who walked by a free sample."
They all said the same thing, "Hey this tastes like dog shit!"
Then I would say, "It is dog shit. Wanna buy a toothbrush?
I used the Obama governmental approach of giving you something shitty, but looks good, for free, and then making you pay to get the shitty taste out of you mouth."
The teacher was speechless.....Little Johnny got 5 stars for his efforts, bless his heart....

When U.S. President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, “You’ve got a lot of golf courses here, don’t you?” Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.

If you recall, one of the liberal Democrat executives at Google remarked on C-SPAN several months ago that, in what would essentially amount to a sleazy campaign of harrassment, Google and Microsoft (via Internet Explorer) are going to make it increasingly more difficult for right-wingers to access right-wing blogs and to post on those right-wing websites
BTW, if you had gone to Wikopedia a little while ago, you would have seen a shocking series of comments to the effect that they had been instructed (by unidentified persons) to delete mention of Ace Of Spades HQ for "presumably political reasons", for which they were receiving a lot of flack, especially since they were also blatantly advising people to go to Andrew Sullivan's website (presumably for an explanation as to why people couldn't access Ace Of Spades HQ), and they were asking for reader feedback. No bullshit. That's what it said.
It ain't happening just in Venezuela, folks. It's beginning to happen here, too. Another example of which was the sneaky end-run legislation to restrict First Amendment rights that the Democrats passed in the House on Thursday, and which now has to go to the Senate.

It's not you. They are better technically but altidore must switch to defence when ghana is in possesion. He doesn't make the switch by stepping back a few yards and therefore ghana has an extra free player in midfield.
The US defence has to leave their position to pick up the man altidore lets go.
The space than increases for ghana between the US defence and midfield lines.

I really can't get into a game that can go 90 minutes without a score and, in fact, can end up as a 0-0 tie. Even more outrageous is these idiotic penalty kicks that often win the games. What was the purpose of all the running beforehand?
So, I have to ask myself -- why does this game appeal so much to the rest of the world but barely hits the radar in the US? There has to be a reason.
Is it the mob of men in shorts trotting up and down the field? Basketball has that. I'm not a big fan of basketball but I'd watch it before I'd watch soccer.
Is it the fact the game can go on for eternity without a score? Baseball has that. Yet baseball is a lot more watchable than this crap.
Is it the occasional low-blow foul that gives a ref his Academy Award moment? Just about any normal sport has that. Hell, Mike Tyson ate Evander Holyfield's ear -- lot of outrage but not a lot of real surprise.
If you like soccer, fine. Some people love "Championship Wrestling" -- go for it. I guess I'm one of those clingy, gun-toting types that would rather watch a re-run of an NFL game than any live soccer game. I don't get soccer and, in fact, it is about as boring as a sports can get.

The legislation that the Democrats passed in the House on Thursday essentially requires Republican candidates to disclose the sources of all of their financial contributions and the amounts of those contributions , while also enabling labor unions and environmental groups to conceal both the amounts of their contributions and the people to whom they funnel their contributions via a variety of organizations, an end-run to get around and to nullify the SCOTUS decision of a few months ago, again in favor of the Democrats.
I'm surprised that Ace didn't mention that legislation which again limits First Amendment rights for Republicans and their for their contributors. If it passes in the Senate, it will benefit Democrats greatly in this fall's election.

They kicked the ball around for 90 minutes to end up at the exact same spot they were at the beginning. Now they have an extra 30 minutes to do it again. And after that it turns into the equivalent of deciding a baseball playoff game via homerun derby.

no replay....hahaha no replay in this game? yeah?...stoooopid.
that being said, our team didnt play very well at all, in any of our games. at best we just got lucky at times we scored. but hey, we did just as good as some of these supposed 'powerhouse' teams from europe, africa, and s. america. so whatever.

"427 I thought we played like crap. I don't know the fundamentals, but it looked like Ghana hustled the whole time. We didn't."
We looked good the second half, until we scored the goal - then we closed down again. Coach's fault for letting Altidore go out drinking and carousing last night - guy was out to lunch when we needed him.

I don't think our soccer team being good is going to help either. Because no matter how good you are there will always be games where you lose. But in those games where the US would lose and people are watching you will have what happened here as soon as Ghana was ahead. Everytime that a US player touched them they fell to the ground holding their knees and crying. Because they know that milks the clock. There was even one where I don't think anyone even touched the guy and he was on the ground and I saw nothing for a reason. Its not going to make anyone interested and just piss off and disgust casual viewers to the point they will never move beyond casual.

like I said if the US team went all the way and Soccer had life in this country i'd be happy to witness that History but I never bought it and now the cycle will turn and we won't hear about Soccer again until the 2014 World Cup...where the US can lose again to some 3rd world hell hole

Soccer is just like ice hockey; only without ice, sticks, pads, fights, and actual excitement. Even lacrosse is better (despite the cheese-eating surrender monkey name), but at least has the grass field like soccer. But since lacrosse still has sticks, pads, fights, and actual excitement it's still the better game.
But other than that, this 'soccer' thing is ok. Just not enough to get worked up about either way.
There's shittier sports out there, I guess.
Shuffleboard. Badmitten. Dog fighting. Cock fighting (which just seems to be a bad way to use one's cock).
Posted by: The Atom Bomb of Loving Kindness at June 26, 2010 01:57 PM (CnrIa)
Yeah, the spine-yanking fouls were pretty typical. The only thing that seemed questionably un-called was the lack of an unsportsmanlike for delay of game when Ghana had some guy collapse after a "foul", the stretcher being called across the field, and the subsequent, slow substitution. Clearly a penalty that should not have been mere extra time applied to the bonus-time already being played.
Overall, officiating was fine for the World Cup.

Devastating ad, if we actually had a media that was not sucking the O's dick at the urinal, and could wipe their mouths and report about the Federal Government allowing American citizens and law enforcement to be killed for political posturing.

I saw a report briefly while surfing the T.V. a couple of days ago, showing a bunch of guys in fatigues getting ready to go down to the border. This was not the bunch that organized a few years ago, forgot their name, but looked like a bit more militant bunch. People are getting mad about this. Now talk that Obama wants to executive order amnesty, you want to see an explosion, then let them try that. This is nation destroying what is going on with immigration right now, already it is dividing states.

Instead you show up afterwords to rub salt in the wound just because someone actually gave a crap what a US National sports team is doing. You are as bad as the dnawagon jumpers you are trying to pretend to make fun of. Check that, your worse. At least those people had good intentions. You're just a douche with time to kill waiting for Mom to get ready to take you to McDonald's.

this place is getting ugly w/ you and Fluffy being complete dicks but I already explained about why I came here after the game, I was busy, didn't expect the US to win, saw they lost, went to Ace to feel better, saw a soccer thread was the only one breathing, ranted on the soccer mania cycle, gave props to it as the funnest to play but most boring to watch, and then you 2 became complete dicks, last thing I will say on the matter

Watching people get all butthurt that not everyone loves soccer as much as they do is more fun than watching a game.
Yes, it is. (Change "loves" to "hates" -- that, too.)

Four games. Zero goals from strikers.
Oh, and the defense is porous.
Can't score. Can't defend. Other than that, we're on the right track.

I for one did watch the game. I happen to like the game, although I'm not what you'd call an enthusiast, and the USA is about my second-choice as team. I thought that the USA should have done better and my condolences to the USA fans in here that the team let you down.
England's my team, and I do not have my hopes up for tomorrow. However I do have some, faint, hope and I'll be up early to see how well they are founded.
As for those who hate the game, well, you can blow me. I'm watching this shit anyway.

Soccer is an activity used to teach 6 year-old girls about competition.
Yes people...we are now reduced to competing against Ghana...perfect metaphor for where we are heading...

Hate to do this, since I love the soccer, but OT
