u.s. vs argentina

so, we're 10 minutes in and i just realized that i wasn't blogging about this game. and in the 9th minute, eddie johnson got taken down in the box. he converted the penalty kick. we're exuberant.

11th minute, argentina has a free kick outside the box. the float it in, and apparently the u.s. decided they didn't want to mark anyone, as there are 4 argentinians coming straight at keller. keller stops heinze's initial touch but crespo puts it home. ugh. sheesh.

42nd minute, keller has just made back to back phenomenal saves. the first was on a long blast that he pushed up into the crossbar, giving up a corner. on that corner, crespo had a great flick header that keller was all over, although he did give up a rebound that was cleared out by a defender.

45th minute - big rip from a u.s. player, i think feilheber but not sure. but stopped somewhat easily by argentine kicker. as you can tell, there wasn't too much between the 11th and 42nd minute. we go to half 1-1.

53rd minute - u.s. freekick just outside the box...over the wall...and the goal.

58th minute - another u.s. freekick, this time from the side of the box...nothing much to speak of.

60th minute - messi sneaks through 3 defenders and has a really nice shot that goes into outside of the net.

63rd minute - crespo is wide freakin open for a pass from messi and he skids it into the back of the net. shoot.

75 minute - this is where i stopped watching the game. we had dinner plans, and it didn't look like the u.s. was planning on doing anything to equalize.
