Calcio - US ties Italia
I know this game was on Saturday, but I’ve been away from the blog for a few days, and wanted to post some quick thoughts on this game:
- When the teams were equal it seemed that the US controlled the game, but Italy was much more effecient with their chances.
- The US team played damned tough. I love seeing a rough game of soccer.
- The second half was by far the most intense halfs of soccer I have watched.
- To still be alive going into the final match of group play is much more than I expected a week ago after the loss to the Czech Republic.
- The officiating felt like the Seahawks Super Bowl all over again.
- Calcio is the italian word for soccer/football
