Comments on: Rossi and De Rossi combine to defeat USA 3-1 http://italy.theoffside.com/results/rossi-and-de-rossi-combine-to-defeat-usa-3-1.html News from the Italian Serie A Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:30:56 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mrs. Shankly http://italy.theoffside.com/results/rossi-and-de-rossi-combine-to-defeat-usa-3-1.html#comment-47577 Mrs. Shankly Wed, 17 Jun 2009 04:15:47 +0000 http://italy.theoffside.com/results/rossi-and-de-rossi-combine-to-defeat-usa-3-1.html#comment-47577 American fans should be very proud, they scored 3 goals. Unfortunately, 2 of those goals were scored by an American playing for Italy. :) It will be a while before the US can truly play with the big teams. First they need to stop whining and enjoy the game. Second, they need to stop believing that Donovan is their best player, since he can't even cut it in Europe even by invitation of a former coach. Look at all of the Americans playing in Europe. Howard, for example is a fantastic keeper, and single-handedly kept the score down to 3-1. But with so much still so wrong about American soccer from fans to US Soccer Federation to players, how can one help but cheer for the Azzurri? Oh, and thumbs down for the kits, can't wait to see the true blue again! American fans should be very proud, they scored 3 goals.

I wanted Italy to win because the have a shot, but I wanted the US to prove they can play the big dogs, and Italy to do terrible (and still win) so lippi would make changes. I think it worked out great. Me too eric, I was really hoping they wouldn’t suspend or injure each other.

They game should not have been 4-1 or 5-1. Don't forget Bradley and Altidore miss hit pretty good chances in the first half and the US could have been up 3-0 at the half if we are playing that game. I'm glad that game is over because I get torn when they play. I am both a US fan and an Italian fan. They game should not have been 4-1 or 5-1.

The U.S. did nothing but play composed defense in the 1st half. In the 2nd half, they got outplayed by Italia, as our team kept attacking left and right while the Americans were on their backs for most of the game. The Italian National Team can't quite capitalize when it should (remember the Luca Toni, Gillardino misses), plus they were disorganized as they kept losing balls moving forward. Anyways, This game should have ended 4-1 or 5-1 if it wasn't for those flaws. Tim: you are clearly a U.S. fan, shove it dude!

I think that they are actually made by cocacola because there is a picture of one in the ad at the beginning of every game. Can we ban alexis lalas?

I agree with Johonna those horns are terrible they emit the sound of a donkey dying a slow painful death. Hopefully FIFA bans them next year because they aren't manufactured by Coca-Cola or something. Weston, they can celebrate, but can they do it without the horns?
