Marcum hurt himself on that nice play?

 

I'm watching the US choke away the WWC final.

The third shooter completely missed the net on penalty kicks, that is worse than air balling a free throw to tie the game in overtime
Not even close. Basketball players practice free throwing every day. Penalty kicks are just a tiny part of soccer skills.
What is with all the excuses today, first a ball bounces off Weeks glove and people want to forgive him because it was hit hard, who cares, he is in the majors. Same with this, these players are in the World Cup and they cant put the ball within a 24 by 8 foot box from 10 yards away? No excuse, unbelievably pathetic.

Yeah, technically that is the SS's play there so I don't blame Wilson for going after it. McGehee had it in his glove, so he should've held on. Either way, one of them should've called it.

 

I don't think Casey ever had it in his glove. On the replay it looked like it was just kind of sitting on his wrists.

Hard to blame Wilson for that. Casey should have had it and held on

No, it was on Casey's heel of the glove when he had it. If it was in the pocket sure you could blame Casey there but that is mostly Wilson's fault on that one.

Missing 3 penalty kicks in soccer is the equivalent of missing an extra point to win a football game. They had a nice run, but that was a choke....

12 yards away - can't believe you didn't know that! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Since I was watching the U.S. choke, were McGehee's singles line drives? seeing eye single....blooper...?

First one was a solid hit to right-center, the second one was in on his hands and he kind of dumped it into left field.

Thanks. Plus he had a sac fly to score a run. So I'll suspend ripping him for one day, I'll give credit where credit is due.
