More poopie to throw

Comments from the World Cup analysis/blog of Michael Davies:

5th minute - GOAL TO THE BAD GUYS. Nightmare, Eddie Pope and Gooch completely fail to stay with Koller and he head butts it in at about hundred miles per hour past his long lost cousin, Keller. That was the worst minute of the Gooch's footballing life.

Key Points: "...completely fail to stay with Koller..."

23rd minute - Another bad giveaway from Beasley; this guy is so unlike himself I'm starting to think he might actually be someone else pretending to be DaMarcus. Perhaps, DaOtherMarcus.

Comments: while eating a hearty steak during the game, Tilam and said this nearly verbatim.

36th minute - A poor defensive header from the Gooch and wham ... ahead of me laser-guided footballs blaze through the air (a Lichtenstein reference -- YES!!!) and GOAL FOR THE BAD GUYS. Rosicky blasts a furious slider past and away from Keller into the top corner.

Comments: see the pattern here?!

The last goal was a perfect beat down of the mostly ineffective offsides trap. And the Rosicky simply outran a battered and uninspired and disheartened US defense. No blame on Keller, only maybe 1 or 2 goalies in the world stop that breakaway. As this level 1v1 against the goalie is death.

Italy beat Ghana 2 nil...that's not a good result for us. The Italy game is a MUST WIN at this point. The Czechs will beat Ghana and hopefully draw against the Italians to win the pool with 7 points. Ghana should finish in 4th place in this pool. If the US draws against Italy and beats Ghana, then we must hope that Italy and the Czechs draw. That will give the US and Italy 4 points apiece, and it will come down to goal differential. Shoot...
