yeah this sport is very exciting. My friend and work (from Trinidad) is also into. He wonder's why the sport isn't more popular in the US. I have a lot more respect for the soccer players and the sport in general.


Edit: Renaldo scores again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird ending. Penalty was called in the box on Croatia before the goal, but the ref decided to end the game right there since it was 5 seconds from completion.

Australia was the Hiroshima game (up 1-0, gave up 3 goals in final 10 minutes). Brazil was the Nagasaki game. Let's be historically correct people.

Sounds fair since Australia goes through anyway. Wonder what would have happened if it was the other way around.

I was switching back and forth between the games yesterday and only saw ONE goal between the two games. This guy's TV needs PIP.

If it happened within time.. which it did... would have been the biggest PK in the history of Croatia soccer

I have PiP on the main TV, but not the one in my office (no cable box on this one), so I stayed with the Brazil game until it was 4-1, then switched to Australia/Croatia

I try not to flip to much b/c you end up missing more then you see...

No, it's not just you. Donovan didn't show for any of the three games, and today he really contributed nothing. I'm disappointed in the guy. I thought he was better than this.

What bugged me the most about todays game was the seeming lack of urgency from the US in the second half. I mean, you've got nothing to lose, so why in hell aren't you taking chances?

Granted, a horrible foul call at the end of the first half basically handed the go ahead goal to Ghana, and McBride hitting the post in the second was more bad luck, but the US needed to show more in the second half. The kicker is Italy won. We win, we move on.

All in all a big letdown. WTF is up with the officiating in this tournament? Oh well, time to pick another team and enjoy the rest of the tourney.

I agree, the officiating sucks...if I were playing I'd expect the worst to be metally prepared for anything. Didnt seem like the US ever got back into the game after that call. Yeah it sucked, but you need to move the fuck on and play the rest of your goddamn game or you are going to go home.
