U! S! A!
U! S! A!
U! S! A!

Half-time now, 1-1. My boys can do it!

And the English commentators were

a) talking about how England can lead a rout through this game

and
b) talking about how good Green was

I don't know if you guys get the same, but is there really a need for so much slow motion footage? It's like every ball that goes out for a corner or throw in, and there's a super slow motion instant replay of the ball going out or of a players reaction. It's distracting, just focus on the game now!!

Yeah Tuffty, we get the super slo-mo replays on ESPN, at least. Fine American tradition, no doubt.

Onyewu confirmed for Beard Struggler

U-S-A!! U-S-A!! U-S-A!!

Silly England commentators. Apparently England supporters can take comfort in the fact that the 1966 WC winning team drew their first match as well. Jesus, do they or will they ever stop talking about 1966?!

My prediction was right lol.

Alright, a tie! Go USA?

I wish ABC would show more matches...I don't have cable anymore and online streaming kinda sucks.

Here's to an exciting tournament!

Hopefully the USA will win their next two matches big and finish on top of the group.
Winner of the group will probably avoid a round of 16 match with Germany. Let the English deal with them.

It ain't easy being Green

Tuffty · « **Reply #72 on:** June 13, 2010, 01:10:23 PM »

Thing is, at least in my eyes, the English pundits and media talk so goddamn much about a 'goalkeeper crisis' when they have at least 3 top tier keepers to choose from. Yet they still talk about how none of them appear to be reliable enough and they also keep going on about say Rooney's injury prone state, that it's all bound to be a self-defeating prophecy. Already, the goalkeeper made a calamity of a mistake, I'd be willing to put money down on Rooney being injured at some point during this tournament. It just has to happen. If you ever wanted to believe in karma, there's your proof. I'll tell you what else is going to destroy England's chances. Heskey. Completely useless.

Now the media's talking about replacing Green!! Way to inspire confidence in the team.

Grats Ghana

That handball

cool_kickin_dude · « **Reply #74 on:** June 13, 2010, 05:59:54 PM »

^ also Serbia played with only 10 guys. only the second red card in this Cup.

Tuffty · « **Reply #75 on:** June 13, 2010, 06:04:58 PM »

WTF was that handball all about?!

But yes congrats to Ghana, clearly the better side and certainly deserved to win 1-0.

And for those of you who missed Algeria v Slovenia...be glad

Non-event but then, it was always gonna be. Slovenia won 1-0 which means England have to beat them when they play their last group game against them.

Third. Ghezzal was sent off from Algeria, and there was another red card to Lodeiro from the France v Uruguay match

too bad for Serbia, now they have to beat Germany

Australia for the surprise

clockface · « **Reply #77 on:** June 13, 2010, 06:45:47 PM »

I kinda see trends happening all of a sudden. Bad finishing in the opening match has crept into all the matches so far. Now Green has just 'influenced' the Algerian keeper then followed by their red-carded striker who handed the ball which was mimicked by the Serbian defender for a penalty which I believe now will be given out in the Australia/Germany game later, if above stated rules apply.

Tuffty · « **Reply #78 on:** June 13, 2010, 09:55:08 PM »

^ Well there's been a red card at least! Though it shouldn't have been one IMO. Guess the next trend then is unfair red cards? lol Hope not

Now it's 3-0
