I've been watching the Korea v Nigeria match so I've been missing the Greece V Argentina match.   Has Greece essentially parked all 10 players in front of the box?

Yes.  Leaving one man up in hopes of getting one cleared out to him.



It's more interesting to see what their coach do on the side of the field, Maradona ran more km more than Messi during the ARG-NIG game

Maradona is nearly as entertaining to watch as the match what with all of his theatrics... gripping and kissing the rosary, the yelling, running and that strong desire to get in there and kick the ball just once.

I just want to see them actually play the first 45 and not wait around until they get a goal scored on them.

Me too.  This crap of giving up a goal in the first 20 minutes is driving me crazy!

Interesting.  Gooch is not starting.  Bornstein is in his place.   Edu is also in the middle.  Wonder if they are really going to push the pace from the get go.

It's seems like a pretty frantic pace already.  Hope they can control the game a little more, but still push the pace. Oh and, GO USA!!!!

WOW.  How many goals do we have to give back because the refs are terrible?!  At least it still early in the game.

They're trying to get too cute the closer they get to goal. They need to just hammer in one or two (more than we should already have).

This game is VERY open.  Lots of shots from both sides, both close and far.

WE have been potting together some very hard pushes, we just have not been able to put it into the back of the goal.

We have allowed them to have too many shots, one luckily bounced off the top bar. 

Horrible off sides call, but other than that, I wouldn't say the calls have been bad. 

Finally, it has been a fairly clean game so far.  Only 1 yellow and really not that many fouls.

Yeah.  Jozy and Donovan both hit that ball waay too hard for as close as they were.
