with you on Sweden...lets nail this one after the US disaster...you capped that one perfectly and both of us should have won that game...poor refeering cost us a VERY NICE payday...hopefully the Swedes dont get Fawked like the US team did by the refs...couldnt get the 0.5 at my book, but got the PK +$125 so if they tie you win and I push...if they win, we both win...hopefully they play their hearts out and get a solid win here over a England team thats already guarenteed a spot in the next round...GL

one more thing, what are your thoughts on Ecuador? Played them +1 for a a unit and ML +600 for 1/3 of a unit...my bigger play (2.5 units) is on Sweden PK with you, but what do you think about my Ecuador selection? no chance against the home team, or do u think they can pull out the tie and/or victory?

What exactly makes the Czechs healthier than the Italians for this match.

I am missing some injury news?

Arent the Czechs missing Koller still for this match??

That would seem to be by far the biggest loss on the injury front.


Well, Baros doesn't appear, as of now, that he will play either.

I suppose I should of phrased myself more precisely.

If the Czech's were healthier, then they would stand a great chance v. an overrated Italian squad. :SIB

sat back and watched as a fan today.had a few futures riding that i lost,due to injuries on the check team..flap you were right about the injured czecks but i did not forsee koller also getting injured in the 1st game.after a goal off course.no barros no koller no chance.

TEAM USA :shrug: as a avid fan and former player ,how can i see that reyna is done and bruce arena cant? i mentioned in my 1st post in this thread (1week before the tourny)that CLUDIA REYNA is finished.the usa allowed 5 goals in the tourny (- the pk)reyna was responsible for 3 of them,1 in the czeck game(not closing in on his guy while he shot and scored)..his man scored on the corner kick in the italy game..AND then the biggest play in the biggest game to date he muffs a move b/c of a little pressure and the guy goes in alone to score ghanas only goal.
reyna has always been overrated,but he never sucked,,this year you could easily see that he cant hack it internationaly any more.how can a coach wwith arenas track record cannot see this is beyond me.name him captain and leave him on the fiels after mistake and mistake...but before the tourny i gave arena the benifit of the doubt b/c i respected the guy and he had to know something i didnt,hes a genuis(so i thought).
THE END of an era...bruce arenas swagger and confidence blew up in his face,with his refusal to change on the fly after games or during them...somehow after 2 games THEY still had a great chance to advance and give us the oppotunirty to let us watch are team play against the golaith of the soccer world and let me wager my $100 to win $3000 and believe in my team...YOU FUKN RUINED THE WHOLE TORNAMENT AND YOUR REPUTATION IN 10 DAYS YOU ARROGANT FUK..now i know why the team came out flat,,b/c they didnt believe and they had reasons not to believe.the fukn players that have been done and never were (cherlondo,,lewis,) you mixed in with them and brought them down by not fielding YOUR BEST 11 or your best system b/c all of a sudden your italy and your going to win 1-0 all the time..YOUR TIME HAS COME for you and claudio ,see you in the mls.

btw players like eddie johnson,,obrein,,dempsey ,brain ching(watchout for this guy..lost a chance to gain some very valuble experince b/c of this nonsense...these are the guys that wouldve gave the usa a better chance to win now and the future..as long as we get a great knowlegable coach (carlos qurosh,)i still think with the handful of players we got and that are coming up we will make the final 8 or 4 in the next cup

now im thinking he cant be that stupid..maybe he got a payoff by the italians or theirs a case of soccer politics going on ,eddie johson ,brian chings and obrien moms are never at the games and claudios father and mom are always at the games and has a relationship with bruce so he felt that he had to start certain players b/c he didnt want to offend some of the parents.

Well put about the USA. Horrible performance by the USA. No doubt Arena should be canned. Too smug for me. I think the USA came in OVERconfident due to Arena. They didn't make things happen. If Arena keeps his job, it will be a miracle.

overconfident??i think it was more like no confidence in the gameplan and who hes starting..this is donavans team he made it reyans team,i think the team was split..look how passive beasley and doanavan played,now im thinking this was b/c of the roles he made them play,,kind of like sticking it to him. "you want me to be more defensive minded ,okay"..4 -5 - 1 is not how they made a run in the last wcup,or even made this tourny....and now reading more into those comments made by beasly after that 1st game ,he was holding something against arena.."maybe i shouldnt be starting" who the fuk says that..all he kept doing was passing the ball back,maybe overreacting to his gamelan on purpose..and beasly and donavan are great friends im sure they were both not happy about their roles in this new formation and gameplan.

you'd think at the least we'd have a strong aggressive team like the aussies, not this sad bunch of softies. the USA cannot produce a soccer team as technically accomplished as fcuking GHANA! how sad is that? they can whine all they want, but i have no doubt the better team is going through to the second round.
