ZOMG we were this close to beating Holland!

Feel bad for Holden, because apart from those 2 mistakes at the end he was great, again. What a second half for the USA though, they were so fantastic, so happy. I actually didnt think they had much of a chance beating Holland, but they completly outplayed them the 2nd half, and were so great! Freddy and Jozy are just fantastic players, and they are both still so young, I really think they have great futures. Jozy especially, he is so strong for an 18 year old its amazing really. The whole team, aside from Rodgers really were good, Im so proud of them all :D

Now we are going to missing Adu and Bradley against Nigeria though, which sucks, but I think Jozy and Benny can come in and do just as good. Just need a draw to advance, but a win is needed to stay away from Argentina. Come on USA!

Mate, you wouldn't want to, it was really boring. Actually most games I've watched in the Olympics were boring. I dunno, these Olympic football games aren't as captivating, It took a long time for Argentina to be dangerous. Both teams had bad finishing. ALthough I thought Riquelme was about to score one time but Federici bloody saved the ball.

So the U.S. team breaks my heart once again :rolleyes: You'd think I would be used to it by now, but it still sucks! What the hell was Orozco thinking throwing an elbow! I mean, sure it wasn't horrible, but he should know that any kind of thrown elbow is going to get you booked! They fought towards the end to get back into it, but you could see that they were definately tired. Oh well, guess it's time to get ready for the WCQs now.
