Slovenia Vs. USA, Ireland Vs. Estonia, And More

Whoopsie, I was busy yelling at ESPN for their ability to talk up Michael Bradley at Chievo Verona and forgot to put up a post. So talk on -- how will Tim Howard do against Samir Handanovic? How long has it taken Kirsten to learn to spell the Slovenian goalkeeper's name? Will the fog affect the play between the USA and Slovenia?

Oh, and Ireland plays Estonia today. Considering they thumped a nine-man Estonia team in Tallinn, there's not a lot of hype surrounding that match. It's almost certain that Ireland will head off to Poland / Ukraine next summer for Euro 2012. It's also almost a given that Croatia, playing their second leg against Turkey, will move on to the tournament. The only real question is between Portugal and Bosnia -- who do you think will move on?

Finally, there's CONMEBOL qualifying later this afternoon, as well as an epic matchup between Luis Suarez and Mario Balotelli in Italy vs Uruguay. I hope fireworks are involved.

And as fog games go

This is probably the most famous fog-related event in American sports history

That turned out to be a pretty clear handball

though given the conditions I am not surprised the ref missed it

I can't believe I am saying this

but so far the USA is seeing the game out like a good team would

Hurray!

A good performance that results in a victory. I think I am more impressed without how they held up after that wave of Slovenian pressure that cut the lead to 3-2. B+
