* Official Match Thread...SLOVENIA V USA *

[surrey jim]

I'm afraid the USA will win this, 3-2 IMO.

as you said

edit: not given

 

[Simster]

The ref has had a mare there. That really should have been a penalty OR the goal counted.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

yeah, how on earth was that a foul by the american?!

 

[Renns]

I f ing hate American fans

 

[Simster]

Good news is that Slovenia have had about 4 million yellow cards.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Slovenia winning would have given us an easy last group game

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Slovenia winning would have given us an easy last group game

if we're relying on SLOVENIA not trying against us, then we might aswell not bother

 

[fleet]

We need two wins - a big one tonight would help enormously. We should just think of it as the knock out stage from here on.

 

[Rookie]

cracking game, was it just me or was Edu holding the Slovaks arm before he put the ball in the net and that is why the ref disallowed it? Can see it from the camera angle behind the ref

..and there was I thinking it was USA v Slovenia

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Yeah ! we can lose tonight and still go through or even top the group

 

[JonathanLivingstonSeagull]

haha this is mad. i found myself having the thought when a slovenian player got booked - 'YES! ...i hope he is suspended for the match against england'

jesus f*** i had to laugh. its hardly messi...

i think we should all be more concerned about the erratic nature of the groups after all the shocks, we will probably end up playing germany in the next round which will be a fifty fifty no matter what anyone says about the relative abilities of the teams.

i'm sure someone has said this elsewhere.

still, exciting match. usa stitched but i am pleased really.

i also couldn't have bared SLOVENIA topping the group with six points after two games. f***ing upstarts it is isn't even a proper country and that
