[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="748758" timestamp="1264302905"] The USA has not had any good defending in alot of their matches lately. [/quote] to be fair, it's unlikely that any defender on the field tonight will see time in the world cup for the US, while Honduras is playing a lot of guys who will start in the world cup for them.

Robbie Rogers was unlucky to not score... he beat the keeper and pinged the post from about 35 out.

must be playing at home.

hopefully they'll put some serious money into it and bring in some pitching!

now 2-0.

[quote name="Vincent Vega" post="748734" timestamp="1264299282"] That's exactly what i would say if i were from HJ [/quote] and i guess i'd be pouting if i was from HF.  if you were at the game, you'd know how bad it could've been.

US now trails 1-0.

Jimmy Conrad just picked up his second yellow in the first 17 minutes of the 1st half.  Honduras also got a PK out of the play, even though the player was nowhere near the ball, and a shot was taken from the other side of the box and went well over the goal.  I have absolutely no idea what the call was.  I do know i'm tired of the US getting early red cards every other game, and usually on bad calls.

am i the only one who doesn't really understand the point of playing friendlies to warm up for the world cup with at most 1 or 2 potential world cup starters on the field?

about to kick off.

[/quote][b]Intensity[/b] or unsportsmanship? [/quote] they showed plenty of sportsmanship or they would've won this by 100 points and held HF to under 15 points.

yup.  James showed up when it was too late to matter.  the horns have a ton of talent, but they need to do some regrouping.  neither of their losses were bad losses, but they were both to teams they should've beaten.

Texas looking pretty bad in the 2nd half.  down 12 with 2:18 left.

Texas has been hosed a bit by the refs, but they haven't handled the adversity worth a crap.  looking like a VERY young team in the 2nd half.  James has been silent, and Pittman has been saddled with 4 fouls (two of them very weak calls).

Texas down five with 8 minutes left, UCONN going to the line for 2.

Kind of BS right now.  incidental contact is a fall on Texas and no call on UCONN.

UCONN 13-0 run to lead by 4.

tied at 52... Texas has had a bunch of shots rattle out in a row, and getting squeezed by the refs... currently have 6 team fouls this half to 1 for UCONN.

Texas scores quickly to open the second half, but then gives up 7 points in about 30 seconds, and now leads by only 3.

Texas looks like a different team!  up 42-34 at the half, and have forced 16 turnovers.

Texas leads 25-23 midway through the 1st half.

another tough game for the horns.

well, there you go, bluedove.

i sure hope they didn't do any dunking after the 1st quarter... that would be bushleague  ;D

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="748510" timestamp="1264261561"] Bullet, please stop trying to defend HJ. You can't. This has nohing to do with HJ. IF HJ ran off 150 points, I would not be mad at them. But I wish you would jusr go ahead and admit HJ played their game and kept scoring on poor little Hf after the game was won in the 1st quarter. It's basketball.  The shoe is on the other foot and you can't be man enough to admit your double standards..................... [/quote] double standards... you're right, you got me... i have totally different standards when it comes to my opinion of a team who wins by 60, plays subs most of the game, and presses for one half compared to a team who presses the whole game and wins by 135.
