The fifth goal was just taking the piss really.:D

Torres' header was pretty awesome though.

Tonight theres a schedule clash between brand new Top Gear and Brazil v Italy. The nation's collective homunculus must be torn up

Ah, just wait a couple of weeks and Top Gear will be on Dave.

ahhh... Dave.

i have a feeling italy might win today. brazil tends to get lazy, and italy will be fighting to be in.

egypt is gonna throttle usa

I dunno. I thought the US was meant to have a pretty decent team at the moment.

I don't have a preference either, but I don't mind watching games as a neutral. It's off to an entertaining start so far. Italy surely seem to realise they have to win this and Brazil are making really fast breaks whenever they get the chance.

America v Egypt so far is like something I'd see played in the street, by people in wheelchairs. I think i'm gonna look at porn.

good choice.


The USA are 1-0 up by the way. If it stays like that then Italy no longer have to win.
Brazil just hit the post for the second time tonight.



ooooh, Brazil... they're lightning fast on the break. 2-0! Great running from Kaka.


3-0!

amazing

WHOA. who would have imagined? wow...

bollocks

ole ole ole ole USA USA!!





So much for the invincible la Furia, eh?

Wow, that's amazing! :eek:

I forgot the first semi-final was tonight so unfortunately I didn't see it... so when I saw your post I checked on the score and it's a 2-0 victory for USA! Who would've thought...

Congrats, well done.
(though to be honest I was looking forward to a Brazil-Spain match)

Spain stays on a 35-game unbeaten streak then, equalling Brazil's record but not breaking it.

It was amazing! More amazing then the shock win over Portugal in 02 (whats with the Iberian peninsula?)

In a way I was looking forward to a Brazil-Spain showdown too, but that's only because I really didn't have much expectation that the US would pull it off.

Tim Howard is my hero. Save after save after save. Exhilarating win.

Two big mistakes by Spain defenders, the scorers showed great will, I was pretty happy, even though I like Spain a lot. They'll get over it. Torres looked angry with his partners in this game; in his last before that too.

Ramos must take a lot of the fault for the second goal.

I agree, they'll get over it, but having not lost since 2006, including 15 straight, this must sting a bit more than your usual loss. This was completely unusual.

Very unusual. I wonder what the bookmakers' odds were for the USA to reach the final after losing its first two games. Did anyone become a millionaire tonight? :D

I just noticed that there will be a third place match as well. Hopefully Brazil will lose against South Africa then (although 3rd place matches often tend to be the worst of any tournament).

espana goes down without a gol!

USA 2, SPAIN 0

DOWN WITH THE MONARCHY

ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa

bollocks

Heh, I knew you were going to say that.... proper English response to American football success.

I've never seen any English person being supportive of American (or Australian) national football teams. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I reckon it has something to do with "taking over our game" and/or the term "soccer"?

jesys christ, chrome was that pic really important to post?

They just hold a grudge for so long, you know? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_v_United_States_(1950)

soccer is kinda a cool word though

It think its the number one reason 'soccer' struggles to find an audience in America. Futbol would work fine.

the stereotypes are true, you know.

amerikkkans really do have larger penises.

representin'.

i'm very sorry, we're out of bollocks tonight, but would you care for a bowl of cocksnot, on the house?

suck my balls Spain. seriously i can't believe this happened. they were pretty unlucky. it's pretty funny watching Onyewu just boot out any ball that comes near him, whether its necessary or not. didn't Spain have about 18 corners?

spain had like 20+ shots on goal, and USA had like 5

ha!

my local MLS team, the Dynamo, two time MLS cup champions, are on a streak of 12 matches undefeated.

ending the season in style

Spains football team deserves a public spanking. I mean that literally all players should have their shorts pulled down and be whipped by a belt. Preferably weilded by a midget.

why? they are just fucking jinxes is all. spain, as a team, has been and will always be a jinx. they are fucking doomed, cursed by the gods-- they are the futbol version of greek hell.

GOL de BRASIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fucking BEAUTIFUL!!!

holy fuck those were some crazy last minutes. all those changes at the last minuts. wtf did they think this is, basketball?



south africa did great though. nice match.

That's so true. I think they're second only to Holland in being the most underachieving team in world football. I'm as amazed as anyone that they actually won the last Euros.

So a Brazil - USA final it is then. Magical realism or what?!?!?

Even better. It's Machado de Assis vs. Faulkner.
