BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

It looked like his hands were left of the center of the ball. It just deflected off. Gotta be the easiest goal that guy has ever scored.
On another note, our goalie kicked ass. Aside from that one goal in the 4th minute, he had some awesome blocks!

On some program here in the UK someone said that football / soccer is one of the most played sports in the US but very little watched and he thought that was because of advertising every couple of minutes breaking up the game. This is hilarious as here last night HD viewers missed the goal in the UK because of adverts http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/12/world-cup-england-itv-apology
I had to come back I saw the football thread starting up, I thought someone from the England had to put their head on the block :smile: Here they just cram as many adverts into half time as they can or if your an HD customer during goals :headroll:

Absolutely! That is the softest goal you'll ever see. I saw one magazine (News of the World) with Green on the cover reading, "Hand of Clod" (like 'Hand of God' when Maradona led Argentina to win the World Cup in '86).
After the game Dempsey said something like "It was one of those goals you see other guys make and you say "Why can't that happen to me?". Well today was my day, it probably shouldn't have gone it, but hey, they all count the same once they cross the line." Thanks again Robert
And don't get me started on Timmy... he is our savior. There was not much he could do about that goal in the 4th min, 2 of our defenders were our of poisition and let Lampard sneak in.
I think yesterdays game was a great start for us. A tie against the favored winner of the World Cup is huge.

I enjoyed the game but I sure would have liked the 3 points.
What happens if the USA and ENG both win their next two games. They will both have 7 points. Do they both advance?

Two teams advance from each group. In the case of a three way tie, they would see how many goals each country scored... whoever got the most will win the group. If they scored the same, they will compare how many goals each country allowed.
