USA Beats Algeria Last Minute To Advance in WCup

The most heart attack prone game I have ever watched was USA vs Algeria. US should've went ahead so many times, and did on a goal that was called offside (which replays show was not). This further makes me wonder if FIFA is anti-USA? Anyway we won anyway on a late goal from my boy Landon Donovan.

Here is some videos of reactions to the goal. It's a shame since the first video is in Seattle at a bar I went to often and this was one of the few WCup matches I didn't see there. I could have been on TV... :(

Thoughts on the English National Team

I believe England always tends to not do well in World Cups because of the English people. There I said it. The people, especially the media, always tends to put all the pressure on a single player every single tournament. We saw it on Becks in '06 and now it's on Rooney. When one man feels that he must carry the entire team you have already lost. The second Rooney is shut down and unaffective, as in the last two matches, the entire English squad is lost on what to do. You must realize a team wins matches not a player. USA is purely a team, we don't have super massive players to put the whole match on. And our mentality is alot healthier, as long as we can figure how to stop conceding goals.

I believe the day the English realize that a team is more important than it's individuals and starts calling players that will work well as a unit rather than famous names then you will see some glory. Hopefully you can figure this out by 2018.

ps Gerrard as a left mid? come on Capello...

USA ROBBED OF VICTORY!

FIFA needs to investigate this ref. Every single free kick we took the play was called back on an infraction that didnt occur. This ref made some serious deals before this game ever happened. He also didn't even add time for the injury that happened in extra time. I CALL FOUL PLAY!!!!!!!!

New Adidas ad

So this is the brand new Adidas ad that just came out for the World Cup. It has Davey Becks, Snoop Dog, the weird nervous guy from "Knocked Up" and Daft Punk! It's the cantina scene from Star Wars and it's not that bad. It even has a "Galaxy" joke in there! A incredibly cheesy and bad Galaxy joke that you all might think I probably wrote!

It's not the greatest ad ever but it's still pretty cool. What do you guys think of it?
