UPDATE: USA 3 - Portugal 2 **FINAL - GAME OVER - DONE**

[kt]

Looks like USA is getting into a good start. Let's hope they can keep it up til the end.

 

[kip1124]

USA has been on constant attack. There were 2 other good chances of scoring.

 

[kt]

Yeah, they are really putting pressure on Portugal.. from my counts, they came close 3 times of scoring.

 

[pallander]

ops,funny.thought Portugal would win easy...

 

[kt]

Is anyone watching the game? Any soccer fans out there? You guys are missing out on a good game played by the US.

30 minutes into the game and we are leading 2-0

 

[kip1124]

3 - 0 now

 

[pillage2001]

YES!!!!!!! YES!! Go on..WOHOOOOooo......

wops..3-1 now.

 

[kip1124]

3 - 1. very fast paced game

 

[kt]

Agreed.. very fast paced game. Keep those people who can't stand watching a scoreless game interested.

 

[pallander]

this is insane..Portugal must be sleeping.....a big congratulation to US if they make it though..

 

[pillage2001]

Nothing is going Portugal's way.

 

[kip1124]

man, flurry of offensive by Portugal. USA needs to hold on with their lives.

 

[nagger]

the first 30 minutes have been like a greek tragedy for the Portuguese team.

Our head coach, António Oliveira, must have been drinking too much Oporto wine late last night and chose a very bad squad line-up, IMHO.

I must give this one out has well: I never expected the USA team playing this good.

 

[pillage2001]

US must hold on to their nuts now. Portugal has woke up.

 

[kt]

Have to say that the difference in this game is the defense. Looks like the US defenders are doing a better job than Portugal's. Both team's offense are doing great job.

 

[kip1124]

halftime, with USA dodging a big bullet last couple of minutes. this match definitely has a lot of action. it will be interesting to see how Portugal comes out 2nd half.

 

[nagger]

Let's see if the Portuguese coach leaves Beto and Petit in the dressing room @ half-time.

It's time to bring on Nuno Gomes and Paulo Bento

 

[pillage2001]

Man, I'm losing too much of sleep.

The US has been playing rather well. Portugal woke up at the end of the half there, there was quite an offensive flurry for the last few minutes. The US defenders seem to be doing a pretty good job defending as a team against the Portuguese O. One more insurance goal, and I'll be happier.

I'm already happy now. More goals won't hurt though.

Yup. The more, the merrier

 

[kip1124]

yup, goal differential is the tie-breaker, in case of a tie.

 

[torient]
