So, Germany’s U-17s have to be the favorites right? They’ve been unfailingly dominant in the almost 2.5 matches of theirs I’ve seen.
Dah! The germans be killing it in the heart!
Anybody else heard that Pelosi has been offered a contract by Liverpool?
I think we jinxed them.
Do backheels ever work out well?
almost 3-3…wow
and again…just wide. Germany holding on for dear life, they looked gassed
David Yelldell just transfered to Bayern Leverkeusen. His paycheck must have been tripled or more.
was the final 3-2 germany?
ya but england deserved more!
I don’t know about that. They were thoroughly dominated for 60 minutes and lucky not to be down 4 or 5 when they started their comeback.
The only thing that matters today is SSFC over LA
HOLY POOP ON A PRINGLE, IVES!!
Your beloved Peru up 1-0 on URU?! Amazing!
Copa America = MLS. Gotta love the 0-0 and 1-1 ties.
seriously tho, and if not a low score game, it will be 3-3 or 4-4 haha
Well… The ref of the NE/RSL game just made himself the topic of conversation for the league this week. RSL and Borcher’s got completely screwed.
AND the replay is now showing feilhaber was five yards offside in the first place. Unbelievable.
Yadar Reyes. This is his 17th game, and his 5th red card.
And ESPN just showed that the entire play was offside.
Error upon error upon error there. Wow.
I was looking forward to seeing Gil play 90 minutes in a full RSL game today too. I can’t imagine Kreis is going to leave him in the whole game now. He’s going to try and salvage a draw i assume.
Don’t believe Feilhaber was offside. You can’t be offside on a goal kick. It doesn’t look like anyone touched the goal kick. I don’t have DVR to rewind and watch again but I think he was OK. Commentators frequently don’t know the rules.
My problem wasn’t about Feilhaber possibly being offsides. It was about how Borchers made a clean tackle and was sent off with a red card.
Borchers, the martyr.
Obviously a bad call. My response was to the people calling for offsides. While I was typing the ESPN commentators just corrected themselves and admitted he wasn’t offsides.
I just saw Gio fly down the flank, and Chile’s LB just stole the ball away from him on a clean tackle. Look, a team who plays defense.
Yeah, absolutely right. Going to be interesting to see the storm that this call kicks up this week.
What a good move by RSL. Peg one back and you can seriously sense the fire in their bellies to win this game now.
Lol @ RSL outplaying the Revs a man down. Steve Nicol deathwatch, anyone?
Except for their idiot keeper. 1-0 Mex.
I think the ball spent 2 minutes in Chile’s side of the field for the entire second half, thirty seconds of which were in the net.
Erm, first half.
Didn’t know Nancy played. She a left wing?
Holy make up call.
Mls officiating at its best. Maybe we should just have ejections and not lose a player so the refs can’t f**k up that bad.
Hahaha ryan cochrane ugliest beard in the league
He’s going for the Brian Wilson look.
I think the amazing part of this game has been how badly RSL has outplayed NE even being a man down for the majority of the game. RSL’s defending on set pieces has been atrocious but their possession and runs off the ball have been very good. Kreis is in my opinion, the best coach in the league right now.
Chileans now up 2-1. Much deserved – it was unbelievable that Mex was up 1-0 at the half. Dominating performance. The Chileans can fly. Good to see that one team has shown up for the Copa America.
haha perfect
Totally outplayed. Couldnt take advantage of a 2-0 lead. Couldnt take advantage of the 3-2 lead. But as Revs fan, a point from Rio Tinto anyway you get it is a solid result.
Not sure if they really showed up, considering they played a second string u22 team. So far this Copa America has been a huge disappoint, but it’s probably due to the players being out of rhythm.
How did Gil play?
