Is there a 3rd place playoff or can Torres have a well earned rest ?

He won't be having much of a rest. He is going on tour with Liverpool now, not sure where, and it was in the contract that Torres MUST play.

Tour to Singapore and Thailand isn't til 22nd July or so, so I'm sure he'll get a couple of weeks off

Do most teams not report for pre-season at start of July?

I would say he will get extra time off regardless of when they start back.

Great result, they worked like crazy for each other, tackled like they'd just watched the 2003 AISF Tyrone Kerry game before they stepped out!

Didn't see the odds on it, seems high for a soccer game, especially when it's not the WC.

Would have like to have seen the odds on USA qualifying before there last game, must have been 100/1

Feck that was some finish to the game.

SA 1 up and crusing, Spain score 2 in 2 mins (87,88) and then SA score in 93rd.

Extra time now

Are Brazil bad or is USA going well? Saw them against Spain and they were well worth the win.

orangeman · June 28, 2009, 08:17:02 PM

USA beat Spain, maybe the best team in the world and are now 2 up against Brazil. Brazil and Spain both must have been bad.

magickingdom · June 28, 2009, 08:36:06 PM

2-1 brazil back in it, hope the States hang on
