From: Jim Goloboy on 25 May 2010 20:53 HT USA 1-1 Czech Republic [Edu 17; Sivok 44] Czechs equalize just before halftime when Sivok outjumps (outpositions?) Onyewu and heads in a free kick. Yay central defenders who haven't played since October. Czechs had missed a great chance to equalize when Fenin curled the ball around the post when unmarked in the middle of the penalty area. USA hasn't threatened outside of the goal.

I'll blame it on lack of crispness on the heels of his injury for now, though realistically this defense is going to get peppered.

Onyewu and heads in a free kick. Right! It was a free kick, not a corner.

60' USA 1-2 Czech Republic [Edu 17; Sivok 44, Polak 58] On the counterattack Polak cuts inside Pearce to turn in a pass from Lafata. Lafata looked to have scored himself a few minutes earlier but it was ruled offside...one of the other Czech attackers was a bit offside when the cross came in but I thought Lafata was just barely onside.
