Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

World Cup Gamethread: USA vs Algeria

GAMETIME 8:00 AM MOUNTAIN TIME

I'm posting an early thread for Wednesday morning's game. The USA needs to win this game in order to guarantee advancing into the knockout rounds. Otherwise they must rely on Slovenia tying or beating England. If USA loses they are out of the tournament.

 

Jeremiah Oshan of Sounder at Heart, has created these snazzy Team Reference Cards. Here's the one for Algeria and a bigger one for the USA. They were made before the first match, so obviously Robbie Findley will not be starting with his 2 Yellow cards earned, he will be replaced most likely by twitter users Herculez Gomez or Edson Buddle. England and Slovenia will be playing at the same time, so we will be keeping a weather on that game in case a blowout occurs causing the Americans to change strategies.

If you want to read more about Team USA and the World Cup I recommend the following links:

Steve Davis of The Daily Soccer Fix is posting from inside South Africa during the contest. He has a unique perspective on the country and the tournament. My favorite is this Dear John letter he writes to Team England and breaks up with them.

Kristen Schlewitz of 7500 to Holte writes a column comparing the USA group against the matchups they could face in the next round, if they can advance.

If you enjoy playful banter between two English accented gentlemen then the Off The Ball Podcast of Michael Davies and Roger Bennett at ESPN Radio are worth a listen. These two are hilarious and I just love the way they say cherUNNNDeLOOO!! (Referencing RB Steve Cherundolo)

Eat. Drink. Be Merry. But the above FanPost does not necessarily reflect the attitudes, opinions, or views of Purple Row's staff (unless, of course, it's written by the staff [and even then, it still might not]).

Him and Buddle should have more chances. Findley has very little experience and looks lost with the ball.

but I’d imagine there would be a high correlation between teams desperate enough to allow vuvuzuelas, and those lousy enough to fire their manager.

The US team has some good chances in the first half. They should probably be up 1-0, but they’re not. Gotta keep fighting. Both teams will be getting desperate if the England score stays like it is.

One of the criticisms of team USA I’ve heard is that they tend to dig themselves into a hole early. Is the fact that we’re tied at half a good sign?

what worries me is how open the second half will be

Algeria is still a very athletic team, and it only takes one lucky break to put the US in a serious hole. With that being said, the US was by far the more aggressive team in the first half

and one was very scurry..

However this team can smell blood in the water. I expect Donovan to step up in the 2nd half. They’re creating scoring chances so it’s just a matter of time before they score.

Looking at previous World Cups, there is a 30-minute "extra minutes" period.

Then if it is still tied, then penalty shoot out (like hockey’s shootout).

My other thought was that the Treaty of Versailles wasn't signed until 1919...

so that date COULD be dicey, but the end of WWI is generally accepted as Nov. 11, 1918. This is our source of Veteran’s Day belonging to that date in the US.
