Stays in line with how he picked the squad. Don't upset the pecking order.
Edit: Which is to say, I hate both of these teams. I am rooting for Germany in the tournament, so I guess I kind of want England to win since I don't really see how England could beat Germany. But Italy /Germany would be the much better game, and I'm only a mild Germany supporter.
Double edit: I like the country England fine, and the England/US relationship. So I'd like to root for them, but they have so many players that I simply can't root for. And their strategy is so negative. I have to imagine they are a very annoying team to root for for English natives.
Oh god... now Gerrard is down. How unfit are England's footballers?
Looked like the defender grabbed him a bit just when he wanted to jump and ###### up his timing.
I don't know, you could make a pretty damned good team of former Hammers.
WUT.
That is pretty typical Scott Parker play in the final third.
Sandro is better. Jake Livermore will be by December the way he's progressing. Parker is a fine player but so, so overrated.
Italy have had something like 23 shots on goal, how they haven't scored I have no idea.
He was Harry's boy 100%, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him moved. I would be shocked if Bradley is on Spurs' radar. Sandro, Livermore and Thud could get the job done. Sigurdsson, according to a couple of dodgy sites, is a done deal, BTW. Hope that's true as he looks a class player and it would be nice to have an honest to goodness threat on free kicks.
He did not.
How much do you think he's worth? He sounds like he's by far the most popular player on the team. Captain America! I think you'd need to pay 15 million pounds. I think a team like Tottenham should look at Dempsey. He's in his prime, his prime is the next 2-3 years, and he wants to leave to play at the Tottenham level. I guess you could argue Bradley is more valuable. But Dempsey can go out and get you 20 goals. He's a sublime finisher.
But we have the Dutch Clint Dempsey already!
Nope. He's had four or five "setbacks" and I wouldn't be shocked if it turned out his ankle was irreversibly ######.
I can't deny that there's some perverse part of me that would love for him to score the winning goal/penalty.
No doubt!
It may be a moot point as there are reports Spurs signed Gylfi Sigurdsson.
edit: I would love for Dempsey to be a Spur. I just don't think it's going to happen. Paying a lot of money for players his age just isn't the Spurs way.
I'm just glad I'm not smoking pot right now.
Carroll is pretty good at winning the ball, if only he hadn't that ####### price tag as a millstone.
I think this is true of Italy's team. I think a lot of their attacking midfielders (read: every midfielder) all love to take 25 yard lashes at the ball, which pretty much requires a legendary shot to beat a keeper like Hart.
I like Carroll's game though. I like his work rate. I think the big price tag (and poor start with Liverpool) gave him a work ethic it didn't sound like he had before.
It's like England lost confidence in what they were doing. Or maybe they just got tired, I don't know. They looked much better the first half.
Strictly seaking I believe the first goal would have been scored in the 90+2 minute.
I think England let Italy do this. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that the heart of the US team - Dempsey, Donovan, and Bradley are on part with the best England can offer.
+1000
England is way better up top and in the back, though.
Didn't Italy win a world cup they had no business winning through PKs? I thought I remember Buffon being allowed to come off the line in a serious fashion. Though perhaps my state of perpetual drinking is confusing them with an Italian league team in some Champion's League game.
Yes.
That was very much the exception
Kinda. England's back has still looked very shaky against top level teams. And if you consider Dempsey and Rooney playing the same position (fair, I think?) then I don't think England have actually shown the ability to put up big time goals.
Which is to say, when Rooney isn't in form (he didn't come into form in the WC or this Euro, despite generally being in form in the EPL the last few years) England just can't score.
In depth I agree. But England's starting 11 are bringing some dysfunction, some willingness to park the bus despite not being good at it, and generally mediocre play at every position.
One thing I'll say about the big-time US players is that they play well in tournaments.
First 0-0 finish for a game this tournament. So many wasted chances.
I predict Balotelli scores and Italy win 4-3.
US is generally far more cohesive as a unit then England so can punch above their weight. Possibly only the Dutch are less cohesive as a team than England.
Could be like that football league shootout (I forget which one, it was only a month ago) where they went to 10 rounds or something like that.
The League 1 final, no?
Gerrard has done well at free kicks today.
