damn cristiano ronaldo was all over the place. he even did his step over cross thing.. at the f'n world cup haha showboating as always. header hit the crossbar and then ripped that shot that the keeper barely saved.
portugal at times looked really quick and skillful with figo, ronaldo, and pauleta
and then again at times they looked like crap
also holland was good today. you hear the teammates controversy that robben was "ballhogging" haha, i dont think thats a bad thing considering he is a damn good player

Cant wait to see USA, Brazil and France. All awesome teams. England didnt even play like they wanted to win. It looked like they were saving up for their upcoming matches. Just barely got by. USA has the second most experience in the World Cup with 12 players. Hopefully we can do it this year.

Absolutely the worst commentating I've ever heard in the Australia Japan game.
Not that I care about either of these two teams, but the lone goal so far clearly shouldnt have been allowed.

That was nuts. I looked away for just a second and he scored 2. Next thing you know, there's another. Wow!

I dunno, it was a hell of a goal. Blistering bending shot from way outside the box hit just inside the post.

Good one.
j/k. I was hoping the US would win this game so they'd play with less pressure, thus lose when they face Italy on Sat. Now that that game looks like a must win for the US its going to be a very close game.

With all the problems that they are having in Italy, its a good possibility that the US could beat them. However, they wont have a chance if they play like the first half of todays game.

<---- May be lucky enough to get home and catch the last 20 minutes or so of the Italy game. We'll see if that 6MT finally pays off.
