Chris Seitz will not being playing tonight. He is still suffereing from a leg injury he picked up in the collision that led to the Brazil goal last Friday. UCLA keeper Brian Perk will replace him.
Julian Valentin is recalled in place of Ofori Sarkodie. The rest of the side is unchanged.
Before you condemn the Uruguayans ,you need to look back at the worst piece of acting ,by Szetela ,since Vinny Jones moved to Hollywood.
The US did not play well ,rode their luck at times ,but never gave up ,Freddy did not have his usual game ,but still showed leadership qualities ,I thought.
All told ,they did what they had to do to move on ,and you can`t complain about that!
It`s still looking good!
What does his acting job have to do with Uraguay's dirty play? It came in the aftermath of a Uraguayan swing at his face that would have RC'ed had the ref seen it, which just lends credence to the claim that Uraguay played dirty.
Because diving and acting is what is wrong with the game regardless of whether he connected or not. I have been headbutted in games, and I never once reacted like a sniper behind the grassy knoll had shot me. your a man, don't be a wimp, that is how I see it.
