America vs. France: Semifinals - Feb 4, 2006 @ 2:15 PM

The clown using my avatar is responsible for all of this!
We couldn't perform any better given his infamous "wing pivot" nonsense.
It was a disaster. Šprem missed a single shot and was subbed out immediately. Balić—who acts like he's God—didn't pass to anyone today except Metličić. They tried to push through 28 passes along the line, but the Zappos wings were completely empty. Omeyer didn't save all five shots; they were direct hits right on him. We conceded two goals while playing a man down, and then we conceded two more while having a man advantage without letting a single one in. To me, it looks like someone placed a bet against us.
I won't even dignify those two pieces of trash referees with a comment.
The Americans play a hell of an organized defense, and credit where it's due. They are the primary "culprits" alongside that clown. Congrats on the win.
Following our usual pattern of inevitable failure, we’ll likely lose by the same ten-goal margin tomorrow, regardless of who we face.
In the end, I'm a bit disappointed, though fourth place isn't exactly a catastrophe...

OH, I see now that we've moved from 12 goals to a whopping 20! I'm going to go check the score; maybe a winger will actually show up so I can witness a goal...

If you ask me, this loss feels like the end of the road... I think we can officially kiss any hope of a trophy goodbye now.😢

Here’s a seven-point lead, two minutes left on the clock
We better figure out how to close this out right now
Every other team we played knew exactly how to shut us down

frozentiger6, don't hold your breath—just go ahead and start a thread for third place.

It looks like our only shot at scoring is through a penalty kick. 🙄

Duplic, I have to say, this entire forum combined with Mozilla is becoming a massive headache...

Well, damn it, there goes Vori gone to hell
don't Vori!!!!

No way they have a prayer at grabbing third tomorrow.
That Vori guy is a total parasite.

What on earth is this guy doing out there on the wing?!? 😠

And they didn't eat us back then? 🤣

Who even is this Igor Balvan? Seriously, what kind of absolute moron are we talking about here?

This isn't some glorious win for France, it's a total embarrassment for us...

I feel better now🙂

Besides their goalie, they didn't do a damn thing today. Their offense was completely clueless for most of the game, and the defense was a disaster. Honestly, the keeper is the only reason they aren't getting absolutely slaughtered...

Well, it’s over now

And once more, just two minutes

Let's head over to Madison Square Garden!👋

Oh, really? 🤣

Omeyer already has 20 saves under his belt

Nice work in the net, keeper.

We’re right here by your side when things get tough,
but there are limits to how much we can intervene... 😢

Hey Vanja, go ahead and start the thread, and let's give them a standing ovation. Seriously guys, massive props—hitting five semifinals in just three years is an incredible feat.
