Yeah, pretty much

Great rip by Honda, finally a nice strike from a free kick, as opposed to the numerous others that have looked like field goal tries.

Wow.

I am impressed with this Honda.

Italy got robbed of a goal. They seriously need replay on goals. I mean they are so rare, how can you not take a minute or so to see if it was a legit call.

BTW- they still deserved to lose, they played like crap.

Looked offisde to me. Still, I thought there was a certain dignity to the Italian exit: the finally started to play with heart in the last 10 minutes, and then everyone accepted responsibility for the disaster afterwards. No BS, at least.

Go Chile!

GO Brazil!

Agreed. If Donovan had not scored that goal the US would no longer be in it on account of two good goals not counting.

I was referring tot he ball that went into the goal off a defenders knee to bounce out and they said no goal

Who’s ready for Portugal v. Brazil? Colonizers vs. Colonized!

Go Brazil!

Don’t remind me. Portuguese colonization was counter-productive.

I wish we had been invaded by Germans.

Brazilian passion and creativity with German competence and discipline could have meant World Domination.

Are you kidding…? The introduction of a video ref would make the rigging of certain games very difficult indeed

I’m way more interested in the second set of games today, as this first set doesn’t really matter and most of the top liners are being rested.

Spain better come out blazing.

I actually want Portugal to score.

Maybe then Brazil will wake up.


celebrating the win

Most disappointing game so far.

Boo.

US plays Ghana and then the winner of Uruguay/South Korea. No ones easy at this point, but better than Germany, then the winner of Agentina/Mexico.

…Look at the name of that crazy country - U R Gay.

This world cup is looking a lot like the world war.

Italy and France are out early and America has shown up late.

England is taking on the Germans this weekend!

So is that a prediction for a USA/Japan final?
