I think the keeper would have saved if he just stood still, reflexes made him actually move his head out of the way! Game on! ---

That guy fouled the shit out of Altidore. My God, what does someone have to do to get a foul called? Oh, I know, have the ball hit your face. Then you’ll get a card. :rolleyes: ---

Fair play to Donovan but it was wek goal keeping. The keeper should have closed him down rather than standing there and letting him run at him. ---

About. Fucking. Time. They’ve been fouling the shit out of Altidore all game. Let’s see about the free kick… Damn. Almost. ---

One thing you really have to give the Americans credit for, the hold up to the general dissatisfaction of Americans towards feigning injury. I don’t think I’ve seen a single “rolling around in agony” incident from a US player. Good to see. ---

Wow. Slovenia is seriously chippy. You know, the way things are going now it’s only a matter of time until the US ties it up. The question is whether they have that time or not. ---

Nice! A draw is probably the best result for England. ---

The announcer just asked whether they should settle for the tie or go for it. I say go for it. They have Slovenia on the ropes this half. ---
