We were more surprised at Spain's inability to finish with so much possession (not a good sign for the Euro run).<BR/><BR/>But we were also surprised that the U.S. was able to get the ball away from them as often as they did. If Spain's delivery into the box, and their strikers, were as accurate as they can and should be, things could have been a lot worse. <BR/><BR/>Still, I thought our players disappeared against England and were much more organized yesterday. Maybe because they had more notice that Donovan wouldn't be in...? <BR/><BR/>I agree about Michael Bradley, I want to like him because he is so tenacious and fearless, but he needs more control because he gives away too many free kicks.<BR/><BR/>Fear of Ramos and Puyol -- join the rest of the world. And fear of not, they're just really good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561489188679737.post-33119055322977186602008-06-04T20:19:00.000-07:002008-06-04T20:19:00.000-07:00The second half was a disgrace for the most part. ...The second half was a disgrace for the most part. Heath Pearce can defend but if you hit him with a bat everytime he gave the ball away every bone in his body would be broken. The US defenders treat the ball as if it was radioactive. Bradley may be the great in Holland but everytime I see him for the US he looks like a very bad red card waiting to happen. You just want grab him and scream "What are you doing?" Beas was unfit. Lewis and Adu are the only midfielders who look remotely dangerous. Dempsey looks burnt out.<BR/>EJ is much better but he needs to score and soon. They miss Landon. Otherwise eveything looked good.

Don't know why, but it works. It's not perfect, but your eyes aren't as bothered with the 'blockiness' of the picture. Hey, I just invented a word.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'm in the same boat as far as ESPN 360. I can get it with my home cable provider, but not the office one. However, if you go to channelsurfing dot net, you can pretty much see any soccer match you want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
