They just had Landon Donovan on the panel from LA and he's not happy with the USA line up. Apparently they are playing for a draw from the onset. :facepalm

All I can see is disaster written all over this. Well it doesn't surprise me as Klinsman has openly stated the USA can not win the world cup. I agree,but you don't say that in the USA as they believe the impossible will happen just by showing up to church on Sunday.

US doing a great job after the slip up. Thought Portugal were better than this tbh, but having watched them for the first time since beating England some years ago I have to say the USA can easily pinch this match.

That is a world class finish from Jones of the USA.

Up there with Messis goals, not quite as good as Cahills though IMO.

A real shame that Ghana were drawn in this group. Germany, Ghana and USA have all given it their everything, its a shame we have to lose one of them.

Portugal need a 6 goal swing in the last game. Very unlikely but you never know...

What a blow that was for the USA, lost it in midfield with seconds from the 2nd round, not to mention being able to rest players against Germany. :cry:

Got to say though world football is clearly changing. A little more experience there from the USA and they could have killed the game off in added time. :clap

There have certainly been plenty of overachievers a this world cup. Maybe one of the best world cups I can recall seeing so far in my life time. Will it keep the pace up to the finals I wonder????? :dunno
