Wondolowski got a yellow for his tackle of Messi and Messi scored on the free kick. The USA did not have a shot on goal. When Argentina scored at 3 minutes the USA was reminded how quick Argentina could score and could not commit to attacking the ball. All USA passes were rushed - big kudos to Argentina as they completely dominated the game from start to finish. To USA's credit, they did not roll over like Mexico did when they lost 7-0, but USA had no chance.
True that was the one yellow. And not a bad one at all. Not much you can do when Messi takes a shot like that other than wish Messi was Ronaldo instead.
It will now be Argentina vs Chile. This has the potential to be a very good game esp if Chile plays with as much energy as they did under Mexico.
Meanwhile, Ireland beats Italy and will advance!
Austria is dead and buried.
Saturday is an insane day of soccer. There's like 4 games including US/Columbia at 7 or 8pm.
