US up 1-0 on Italy (soccer)

[Unchained]

On any other day I'd be watching it,but I'm flipping over during commercials to take a peek. Virginia-Cal State Fullerton on the other ESPN in a git-r-done or you are done special at Omaha.

1-1 all...Italy got an equalizer from one of their subs (Rossi) around the 60th minute. The ESPN guy writing this blog rundown says the US just can't pull a possession back and make a run to put some pressure on Italy and make them play D. Looks like 30 min's of hell for the US defense if they're gonna pull the draw. It'd take a special efford to get another goal and get the W going 10 on 11 against this bunch.

2-1 Italy. Rossi nets another from about 35 yards out. This cat's on fire--the other goal was from about 30 yards out. Not looking good for the guys in red/white/blue.

beating the italians is hard enough, but for a squad like the americans being down a man isnt good at all....from what i could tell at least they are playing better...they looked horrible against costa rica

Yeah--the blogger for ESPN wrote that the red card given to Clark was BS--should have been a yellow for sure, but it wasn't anywhere near bad enough for a red.

3-1 Italy final. Pirlo controlled the pace of the match, and Rossi added the goal-scoring spark as a sub in the 2nd half. I really would have liked to have seen what the US could have done had they not been a man down for nearly 70 minutes out of the 93 played.
