Lyle VS Bigragu is live on ITV1! :D

[AdamGB]

entertaining game so far...

[emma]

im sick of football

[Oggie]

De Rossi sent off for elbowing Brian McBride under the eye. Opened a nasty looking cut!
Great game though! The Italians are looking a bit unsettled... the USA are putting them under pressure., especially now with the extra man.

[Oggie]

Extra man is no more... Mastroeni for the USA is surprisingly sent off, for a bad, but not straight red worthy challenge.

[Oggie]

Pope for the USA just got sent off too, haha. That makes 3 red cards so far. :P
Italy have the advantage now... still 1-1.

[AdamGB]

so what is it? 10 v 9? ha...

Emma, did you ever think about staying out of football threads and not watching it on the TV?

Its sort of like not hitting yourself in teh face with a fying pan...

[Oggie]

She's a woman... lord only knows what goes through their heads, haha.

But yeah, it is 10 men vs. 9 men right now... USA are surprisingly offensive even though they are a man down.
If they hang on for a draw, then this group is blown wide open.

[amat]

GO USA! Wanna hear how clueless Americans are about soccer? I was rooting for the blue team for the first 10 minutes until I recognized the name Donavon on the last shot attempt

[amat]

FUCK WTF?! Fucken commentators had me goin thinkin that was a goal

Your not allowed to stand in the guys line of sight? Wow that's dumb.

[Oggie]

Yeah, Beasley scores but the goal is disallowed! McBride was in an offside position and blocking Buffon's view. This is an awesome match!

[amat]

Holy shit what a save

[Oggie]

FUCK WTF?! Fucken commentators had me goin thinkin that was a goal

Your not allowed to stand in the guys line of sight? Wow that's dumb.

It would have been allowed if he wasn't in an offside position... you're only deemed offside if you interfere with play and the referee thought he was doing that by blocking the keepers view. If there had been an Italian player behind McBride, the goal would have been fine as he would have been onside.

Ok I get it now. It looks like this will end in a draw.
