hes the reason imma Man U fan, honestly, Id be a fan of whatever team hed play for, since im not from europe, my alliance is to players, not teams. 1 year into his contract hes already getting a pay raise. Proud as fuck of him. Javier Hernandez set for pay rise at Manchester United | The Sun |Sport|Football Im pretty sure hes doin OK, playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world will bring you enough media(endorsements).

IDK much about Canada, but if USA doesnt win by 3, ill be real disappointed in em, given how other teams have been blowing out lesser competition.

USA won this 2-0, goals from Altidore and Dempsey. Canada has nothing, expected more from the US.

My heritage is from Europe, so I am a fan of pretty much any team that has a Serbian player (except Ivanovic and Chelsea...I fucking hate Chelsea)

If it was a friendly match, then yes i would agree.

This is a major tournament against one of the weaker teams, and they only won 2-0...

I would be a bit concerned...

I'd say so. We have beaten Spain and held our own against Brazil, but can struggle against teams like Algeria, Slovenia, or Romania.

As it was, without Tim Howard, that game wouldn't have ended 2-0, and Altidore's goal was really just lucky in that the Canada GK didn't get in front of it properly.

Not sure whether I'd call it lucky or not. It was a good cross that found its way through, and he was able to slide and put a foot on it. At that point, he had quite an empty net, so he shouldn't have missed.

that altidore was lucky as hell, bad goal keeping, but a goals a goal, didnt see the dempsey goal. my problem with team USA is the roster. Wheres Edu, and id definately start Davies over Agudelo any day.
