World Cup 2006 - USA Held On
17 06 2006USA 1 Italy 1. A draw. Don’t know what was more enthralling in this match, the number of red cards flying round the pitch, the referee being centre stage for all the send offs, or the nine men game. You had this “Whatever next?” feeling right through. The fouls on both sides were pretty sickening though, they deserved being sent off.
I was rooting for the US in this one. Kasey Keller in goal was great! I’d have been happy if they’d won and dispatched Italy but it was a gutsy draw by the USA and they get their point. They do have some work to do on their offensive game if they are going to stay in. I will be rooting for Ghana, but I still hope the US works on their offensive game.
























We still lost though.
Yes… but I’m assured it’s only a matter of time before the USA walks away with the World Cup. At least you were there… Canada wasn’t!
