hehe same here. but just a little, coz i actually support whole of spain, and not just cesc. he is the bonus

u these days damn free ah
so late havent sleep...sem break?

a levels over. so i can stay up la =) only prob is that tmr i have to be awake at 6.30 for something. i am gonna be damn zombie tmr then. ah well

lol...usa won...

vahh... USA defend so well

final US vs brazil lol

USA is officialy the the favourites to win it now

and there goes our unbeaten record at least it was confed cup, not world cup. still...

lol..seriously donovan is damn good...why fulham release him lasat time...
and howard also...lol

great result for the US. onyewu was a beast

donovan not released by fulham last time....release by bayern leverkusen

should sub in Llorente.. the main forwards were not productive today

I am very agree

So agree with you.

I anticipated that this kind of situation would be coming during this tournament, when I first realized del Bosque brought only one DM to SA. I thought surely del Bosque would opt for more direct approach than usual. But then I was wrong, he sticked to usual tactics, and I know its coming. We can't play like usual without a DM. Just ask Arsenal. Today in particular, will be a bit better if Cesc was the only player who was allowed to roam forward, while Xavi instructed to help out Alonso. Instead, del Bosque played Alonso in Senna's role. That's a big big mistake.

And of course, I will be forever critical of Torres-Villa partnership. I've barked about it in previous thread, and I won't stop. This partnership is overrated and is not working in big matches. It would've surely been better had Llorente came on for Torres or Villa.

aiya losing to usa....still x percaya ooo....
but still proud what we achieved...
world record 15 match winning streak...
and 35 match unbeaten....

i still cannot believe usa win against spain . anyway syabas to spain for making to the semis

they defend well... and take opportunities in counter attacking lol..

agreed. it really was heroic defending coupled with some very good counter-attacking play. it could've been 3 or 4 nil to be honest. the linesmen wrongly flagged for offside on two occasions where altidore and casey would've been through one on one with casillas. that was after the two went in and it really could've finished with a humiliating scoreline for the spaniards. their play was awfully predictable and one dimensional. the usa coach on the other hand had a very good tactical game plan. totally deserved the win and congrats to them!

better team won the game..

still,i think spain shud not feel too disappointed,they can learn many things through this game..

spain still have some weakness,and it show in this game(no width,poor defending against strong player,etc)

after they fix their weakness,would expect a even stronger spain next game!!!

well...maybe spain have off day at that time...

Who played on the right-flank for spain? Was it fabregas?

i dont think they had off day that time..
they played well but not at the best..
USA was clearly a better side..
defend very well especially tim howard..
and they take their chance chances very good..
