LondonLax Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 How many fans have the Yanks taken with them? They are making a hell of a racket. It's not like the US is close to Brazil either, Natal is about the same distance from London as it is from New York. The Americans have bought more tickets than anyone except Brazil (Australia are third ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Every time I hear Tim Vickery he seems to be on a dodgy connection. I wonder what he really sounds like. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieZ Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 John Brooks looks to be coming on for Matt Besler, who pulled up in the first half with a hamstring tweak. Villa have been linked with him in recent weeks. Here's a chance to see him play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted June 16, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2014 That is one painful looking schnoz on Dempsey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laivasse Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Surely that makes it even worse? He kicked Dempsey in the face whilst both were jumping, how is that not dangerous play? his leg came up because of the contact after he'd left the ground, he's going horizontal in mid air, its not his jumping technique thats caused his leg to come up, its dempsey jumping in to him, not sure what else he could do I understand it's not intentional, and I'm not saying he should have been sent off, but if you're kicking someone in the face, it's dangerous play. Yes, he gets a nudge, but he could try control his leg better, his leg goes so far up because it's already swinging upwards before the nudge, he's completely uncontrolled and reckless, therefore it's dangerous. Dangerous play refers to an intentional move that happens to be dangerous. There's no such thing as unintentional dangerous play from a rules standpoint. For instance if a player successfully challenges for a header and clashes heads very hard with a player he didn't see, then that's literally 'dangerous play' but the term would be meaningless in that context. Much the same for a normal kick that turns into a high leg because you've been shoved backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all interpretation I suppose, but imo, if you're swinging your leg like Boye was when he jumped, it's dangerous as it swinging upwards with little control, hence why he kicked Dempsey in the face.

Rovers13 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The US have really been poor. This feels like O'Neills first game at Sunderland vs rovers when blackburn nicked a goal early but lost to a couple late goals cause they couldn't leave their own half.
