Random rantings and ravings about the Los Angeles Dodgers, written by a small consortium of rabid Dodger fans. With occasional comments on baseball, entertainment, pop culture, and life in general.
This is it, the final game for the US in Group C play. And it doesn't get any simpler than this: Win, and you're in.
Or, tie vs. Algeria and hope that England loses to Slovenia.
Or, of course, there's the scenario where we tie and Slovenia and England tie but England does not outscore USA by 2+ goals. Okay, so maybe it's not that simple. Just win the damn game, US. Make like a Dad with some cojones on Father's Day, and stop settling for these ridiculous ties.
GO USA!

I want good, solid wins from both USA and ENG so they can both advance and look good coming out of the group.
I love telecommuting.
Algeria have been attacking early. I'll bet US defenders and keepers need to change their undies at half.
Listening on ESPN Radio. Tommy Smyth makes not being able to see it an OK thing
I cannot fathom why Joey COle can't get a match. Why have him on the squad? He's the most creative ENG player and he hasn't had a sniff yet.
Tommy Smyth is love him or hate him. Most hate him. I don't mind him.
US came close but was offsides.
Defoe!!!!!!!
US needs to spend less time whining about disallowed goals and just stick some more in. Dempsey is still whining like my sister - just get stuck in and play, lad!
What's with the negative ENG tweet, Karina? Dang! Lay off us.
Come on USA.
England up 1-0, US still tied. We need to win!
Another one coming up for ENG...I can feel it.
ENG crowd willing the lads to get another one. How does Rooney keep missing? It's like Ethier continuing to hit the ball well right into the CF's glove at the warning track.
I can't imagine that either of these scores will hold. Someone will have to take a big risk, and be rewarded or punished for it accordingly.
Joey Cole on for Rooney.
"Someone will have to take a big risk, and be rewarded or punished for it accordingly."
This is also the way my workday will go.
Win USA! this team have been better than the scores, played better than some usual favorites, cmon!
73 minutes, no score.
The tension is cool and all, but I feel like I'm watching the Dodgers' offense in interleague play.
Hold the ball, ENG! Almost there!
ENG are through!!!!!!!!!! Hell fuckin' yeah!
And let me say: I;'ll take it.
USA scored.
Dammit. More part-time soccer fans will stick around.
YES!
Hey, don't hate on us part-time soccer fans.
I love you, Mr F.
But I hate part-timers.
I was screaming like a mad man on that goal.
My neighbors must think I'm crazy.
unbelievable!
Wow, I am in love with Landon Donovan
THE U.S. WINS!!! UNBELIEVABLE!! DONAVAN!!!
landon donovan now has more goals scored than the entire dodger team did on national television sunday
That was awesome. Back to work now...
@KB
At least they'll be in the other bracket. Not so much bumbling around the ENG matches.
Not only did US win, but I think Twitter broke.
P-WC-G T up
