Go UB...beat the dog-snot outta Pitt. I am still ticked off at Pitt for beating WVU a couple of years ago and ruining WVU's BCS title shot. Of course, coach Fraudriguiz's mind was elsewhere that week.

"Now that's a REAL stimulus package"

The Philly swim club incident was on the ABC news last night. But no mention of Akron.

Hopefully he did not do a fist bump with that Fe fist

You tell 'em Cablelady !!!

from Buffalo News on July 4 http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/723196.html

Saw YES two times.. OSU homecoming 1973....This was the concert tour that the 3 album set "Yessongs" was made. Then in 1977 in Charleston WV and Pat Moraz was the keyboardist. Tales from Topographic Oceans tour... That was the loudest concert I ever attended, in that my ears hurt for two days afterwards. Even louder than LZ at the Aud...... "Yes-light" << pretty damn funny. and Pooj...ELP in concert was awesome...esp in an outdoor venue like Rich Stadium (1974). there is talk of an ELP concert tour reunion But Keith is suffering from a hand injury.

Congrats maurader guy !! Well done !!!

Buried in the ever growing USA Confederation cup thread there is a mention of poster's favorite teams and championships (or lack thereof) So when did you become a fan of said team and when was their last championship. ? NFL ....Bills..became a fan in 1961....so 1964 and 1965 was fine by me. NBA...Cavs....getting closer MLB...Pirates (NL) 1960....I liked 1979, but since then ....... Indians (AL) 1965.,,, Can't remember 1948 NHL....Sabres...No Goal still bites.

The Brazillian goal in the 46th minute was brutal... Kinda like running back the second half kick-off in a football game. Still have to be proud of the USA in this tourney. Coming back from the depth of elimination to play in the finals is an achievement...Moral victory...sure. But is shows that more can be done. On to Mexico City in August....!!

Happy Birthday.. HAve a great day !!!!

Deer Hunter. great cast

Happy Birthday Ed. !! Hope ya have a great day...........

"No one...I repeat, no one Circles the Wagons like the USA men's soccer team" with apologies to Chris Berman.

Wed 6.24 ESPN2 at 11PM East Coast time will show a replay...So go set that DVR

You are correct PTR, The guys were tired. They get an extra day to rest before Sunday's CHAMPIONSHIP match. After the first two matches can you believe the USA will be in the finals ? And FIFA has to get rid of those damn horns... esp before 2010

The referee made the call on his view of spikes up and the foot above the ball. The challenge might have been late, also. I did notice that only ONE replay of the foul was shown.

And the three stars are 3...Jozy Altidore 2...Landon Donovan and the #1 Star >>>Tim Howard... (yes I know its a hockey thing, but these three played outstanding.) The ref in me says the RED card was bogus...Maybe a yellow. I hope Demarcus B. is not allergic to pine.

I was able to watch the second half...And then switched back and forth with the Italy--Brazil match. Advancing is great, but playing Spain will be a 'challenge'..... When Heyduk (sp?) , Ching , Bocanegra get healthy and the US adds the kid from Germany to the squad, I think their level of competiveness will be much higher. Still gotta get rid of those effen horns though. Mrs. Lew asked "What's wrong with the sound (of the TV)?"

Happy Birthday Gringo !!!

and you did that quite well. Recent play by the US soccer men's team is enough to put a frown on anyone's face.

OK Lana,,,quit hijacking the thread,,,LOL Back to soccer....US has to beat Egypt by three goals and the Brazillians have to beat Italy by 4 or something like that for the US to advance. (yeah right ) Question...Will the referee award the US 3 penalty kicks, so LD can score three ??? Maybe the US team will play the whole match with 11 players. That would be a change.... those effen horns have to be addressed before WC 2010.

With Egypt's victory over Italy, the US still has a mathematical chance of advancing. Those damn horns HAVE to go....effen obnoxious

I sure hope you are correct Gringo (the amazing part). I'll be home and watch live... YAY. It is the ONLY good thing about my stupid work schedule. In that I am home for three more days after today. 4 days on,,,4 days off... Since it is raining, no playing golf Might as well watch soccer in the AM, Then US Open after that

Unbelievable,,,to think that an Italian team is judged to have a poor defense. Goes counter to their history. Kinda like calling a Brazillian team dull and unimaginative..HAHA. Back to the match... The RED card was bull as others have said. A YELLOW would have been more appropriate. Donovan got creamed in the box late in the match and another PK should have been awarded. The Italian defender made NO effort to play the ball. Jozy is a stud, 'nuf said....He and Bradley and LD make a nice offensive threat. The US played well, given they played 10 vs 11 for 58 minutes. DeMarcus should stay as a midfielder and not as a defender. That is all,,,on to the Brazillians !!!
