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

It’s not Omeyer, but they’ve got this other guy who’s just as much of a problem.

No fast breaks, no transition defense—that’s the missing piece if we actually want to shut down Omeyer.

meddo said:It isn't just Vori's fault; Sulinho certainly played his part in this mess too.

That's a fair point...
But it’s not because the play is bad. Honestly, Omeyer is out there playing like a man possessed.

I don't know, I just have a bad feeling about this whole situation...😢

There he is, the absolute jerk.

Omeyer... just a total outsider.😠

Lacković 1-5, Metličić 1-4, Vori 0-2. Total disaster!

Come on, quit whining—you guys should be used to heart-stopping finishes by now...

We can't have a guy like Omeyer leaking points like that all game. Next time someone pierces his defense, his whole streak is toast.
It was obvious early on that we had the blueprint to beat the French; we just need to stay cool and dismantle them like we did against the Mexicans. Hit them with the second unit around the 40-minute mark and boom—gold is ours.

Just don't start doubting our boys.
The gold belongs to us. Don't you forget it.

We’re going to lose

Vanessa said:O'Malley might be out, but they've got that other guy who's just as talented.

There's no counter-punching, no tactical retaliation—that’s exactly what we’re missing if we want to actually take down O'Malley.

I suppose I agree—speed isn't everything these days—though perhaps it's merely a calculated move to conserve energy for the second half.
Rooting for you guys.👍 👍

Goddammit, this kind of crap only happens to us...

France is totally playing us for fools, and instead of us sitting on a comfortable 10-point lead, that absolute moron has managed to let them pull up to a 60% defense...

Screw all of them, the pigs, those guys, and that traitor too😠
Seren is playing for a national team where two actual Frenchmen are on the roster

Man, I am just so incredibly frustrated right now....
I honestly don't get what they're thinking, it's like they have no clue what they're doing out there....

It feels like they're playing absolutely terrible, and if we end up losing this thing to them, I think we're all gonna lose our minds...
And don't even get me started on Coach Miller—I don't know how to put this, but how do you go fifteen minutes without scoring two goals? It's ridiculous...

Just look at the scoreboard: we were up 9-6, and now suddenly it's 12-10 in their favor....

Look, we can still pull this off, but damn it, Miller seriously needs to get our wingers into the game if we want any chance of actually playing decent ball.

O'Malley is seriously playing defense just to get them to back off a little.

mr X said:You can't let a total loser like O'Malley just leak all over the field for the entire game.

That’s exactly what I was screaming when they only had 5 defensive stops... now they've got 15!😠

Vanessa said:O'Malley might be out, but they have someone else just as good.

We’re lacking that physical edge—no real counters or counter-attacks to actually push back against O'Malley.

Don't sweat it.
At least we're creating clear scoring chances, while the French are struggling just to get a shot off.
The score doesn't reflect the game.
If we just stick to this defensive setup, we'll be fine.

Real Frenchmen? Who even are they anymore? That breed hasn't existed in France since the days of Napoleon.

Mod, honestly, just ban anyone who starts a massive flame war over this loss... unless they’re talking about Vanja, then I guess we can let it slide.

We are going to win—I am 10000000% sure about that

Mr.Ex.President said:I honestly can't stand them—all of them—including those people and that traitor...😠
Serena Williams is playing for the national team against two actual French players

haha

That’s like saying you want to take a dump on Ljubičić, who’s from St. Louis...😬

🙏

Mr.Ex.President said:That’s what I meant when there were only 5 layers of defense... now there are 15.😠

🤣🤣🤣

man, things just never seem to go right for us here
it’s like if one part of the game actually works, some other part has to absolutely fall apart
now even their goalie has completely lost his mind
honestly, if we can just hold them to a sixth-place finish in the second division, I'll be happy enough...
