Lets get one thing clear about Friday's game-A draw would be a huge letdown. Tying Slovenia is so 1994. This is 20fucking10. It's all well and good to tie England. But Slovenia is shit. And we must beat them. What is the point of advancing if we can't beat a team like Slovenia? Have we improved at all in 16 years if we are going to be satisfied with a draw? Hell no.
It's not all about the end result, how you get there matters. Losing a close game to Germany after beating Slovenia and Algeria one thing. Getting blown out by Germany and advancing out of our group based on goal-differential is a totally different, and much crappier thing.
Beating Slovenia and pounding Algeria like Mr. Garrison pounds Mr. Slave's tight ass would prove we have made some strides. A little consistency goes a long way. I expect the Yanks to win 2-0, and so should you.
Haha solid post and I fully agree. As much as drawing with England was a win, drawing with Slovenia equates to a loss.
ReplyDeleteOn top of that one of the Slovenian players guaranteed victory to the media...(oh its on now!).... It’s like the 2008 Summer Olympics, when French swimmer Alain Bernard predicted a win over the U.S. in the 4×100 freestyle relay...I think we all know how that turned out. Enough said.
Prediction 1-0 or 3-1 if we start Holden.
I think US wins 2-0 in a passionate display of soccer, that is after they put in Buddle and Gomez.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note, have you not seen the episode where Mr. Slave and Paris Hilton have an old fashioned "Ho-Off"? After viewing that, I have my serious doubts there is anything tight about his ass.
