Yeah, Okay... We'll Talk About It, Too...

((HT: ESPN/FIFA))

The HQ had the feeling Twitter broke twice in, about, a half an hour Sunday when Clint Dempsey scored and then CR7 assisted in game-tying goal with ten seconds left in the USA-Portugal match for a salvaged 2-2 draw.

Let's relive that hell all over again, shall we...??? With analysis...


So, there's all the talk now of colluding with Germany Thursday so both advance (yeah, that NEVER has happened in the past) and Portugal can go home- which would be the biggest irony of it all.

The back line was a complete breakdown in the last possession and NBCSports analyzes with a Molly Ringwold reference
((HT: Dan Patrick Show/Audience Network))


Yeah, it feels like a loss- and with a country that has increased expectations- it should be...

Now, go and park that bus against Germany!!!

Brazil And Mexico Had A Staring Contest For 90 Minutes

And solved absolutely nothing:

Both keepers, Guillermo Ochoa (who had the game of a lifetime) and Julio Cesar parried everything and punched it all away for the match of the tournament in Brazil. And, yes, it proved that a goalless draw can be exciting...

And saves like this at the last kept it scoreless

And, the HQ will reinforce that (no offense to the folks over at the four-letter) the only way to watch a game like mexico-Brazil is to watch our Spanish-speaking counterparts over at Univision.

Absolutely out of control...

So, Which USMNT Team Do We Believe In...???

((HT: ESPN))

The one where Michael Bradley showed what he does is world-class and Chris Wondolowski is back being an offensive force or the one that had the gaping hole directly in front of Nick Rimando for Rafa Marquez...???

The USMNT was up 2-0 at the break in Glendale last night, but gave up two in the second half to only leave the friendly with Mexico with a 2-2 draw.

Here's the highlights...


Here's David Moyes post-match...


And Fulham's Rene Meulensteen...


With some analysis thrown in...


And Carragher looked beside himself...
