U.S. down to ten.
Standard operating procedure for Team USA against Italy.
Whew. An offsides call saved Bornstein from an awful own goal.
And Altidore draws the penalty on the other side! Donovan easily converts! 1-0.

I believe they do. It isn't big, and it isn't clever.Did they give away free plastic horns to entice the locals to attend the match?

It's when you see the inflatable bananas you need to worryThey'll be wanting giant foam fingers next. And then before we know it we'll all have to have music after goals.
It's the thin end of the wedge, I tell you.
Sounds like they're playing inside a giant beehive. Did they give away free plastic horns to entice the locals to attend the match?
USA is acquitting themselves pretty well so far...
A lot of the Puma shirts are using variations of that template, with the collar flashes. It makes them look like they're wearing university gowns, if you ask me. Not good.
and the penalty was a bit generous as well. Definitively contact, but also a remarkable dive by altidore.
Back to the new kits for the upcoming season, Spurs' is horrible:
Heh. It appears Sky Sports News made a bit of a booboo the other day, accidentally showing a graphic of Arsenal's first six League fixtures for the 2009/10 season a quick-witted viewer took a snap and it's since been doing the rounds on various football forums...

If it is genuine, then it's not to say those fixtures are correct they could just be placeholders or something but for XIII and our other resident Gooners it might just be a taster of tomorrow's fixtures.
i agree there was likely a foul there, but the acting put me off. i don't think it should have been a red card, though.Definitely a foul (in spite of the theatrics ) and as he would have been clear on goal should have been a red card as well.
It was a great game. Both games today were really exciting to watch. I can't say I'm a fan of the US team, but I did feel bad when Rossi striked that ball into the back of the net. Talk about pouring salt on a wound!
Wish I could have seen the game, but Giuseppe Rossi breaks our hearts, first by choosing Italy over USA (not that I blame him), and then scoring against his jilted side at the first opportunity.
I guess 3-1 is not a bad result with ten men against the defending World Cup champs, despite the fact that the combined age of the Italian side is about 3,000 years.
It all comes down to the Egypt game for USA to have a chance at getting some points before our inevitable exit from the group stage. Although I'm still secretly praying for a shock upset against Brazil.

Indeed - the media do get the fixtures several days in advance though so who knows? If they are the actual fixtures then it might be a Sky worker and not a manager who's first to lose their job this season...
Ill have a little bet with you on this one guys. The leaked fixtures are not in fact leaked but wrong. A test that mistakenly went to air. My sources are it will be a trip to Goodison Park for the first weekend of the season with our first home game being against Roberto Martinezs merry men.
The full fixtures list is only hours away now. It is extremely exciting to make a plan of where we will win the league. I would almost certainly put some money on spending boxing day on the South Coast in one of my favourite watering holes Tiger, Tiger perhaps. Villa will be in line to give us some early Christmas presents at the home of football. Well be playing the scum bags from the other end of Seven Sister and Manq land at a similar time to last season too.
