That sucks, Mark. I keep waiting for IT to visit me. They caught me using Pandora last year, so I've limited my streaming to the US matches.

Holy crap! That was absolutely exhilarating! U.S. wins! 1-0 is not very indicative of the way the U.S. played, the score should've been 3-0 with all of the chances they had.

Agreed. The U.S. has made it through to the knockout round, but if they squander too many opportunities for goals like they did today, it might be a quick exit.

Nelson's link helped. I was trying to listen to ESPN radio and watch it via Nelson's link, but the delay between the two was like 20 seconds (in Nelson's link's favor).

P.S. Go Ghana!!!!!!

Yea. But the offense looks good, at least they're getting chances and the defense looked better this game (Onyewu was a liability and had to sit). I'm excited and the if they play the way they can and finish more often, they could have a reasonable path to the Semi's. Always the optimist...

It was an amazing game! I enjoyed it and some of my coworkers started getting into it as teh US was playing. Now they say they'll follow the WC more closely.

Wow, what a match. USA kept banging away at it, even after the disallowed goal. Showed some real guts.

**HumidorsAndMore** · 06-24-2010, 09:45 AM

USA definitely deserved to get through...2 perfectly good goals disallowed in back to back games! CRAZY!

I think that sums up this team perfectly, they just keep fighting!

Final day of soccer today for the next two days. I've watched more soccer in the last two weeks than I watched all sports combined in the last year.

I'm pulling for Paraguay and Portugal today!

It should turn out to be a great game thats for sure.

Arriba la FURIA ROJA!!!

**ndv21** · 06-29-2010, 11:30 AM

PENALTY SHOOTOUT

**mrtr33** · 06-29-2010, 03:33 PM

Well done. Good game.

Paraguay looked really good today. I guess I haven't been paying attention to Japan. That was harder that I thought, but Paraguay has impressed me again. They are my favorite team in this cup.

In respect to you, Nelson, I fly the Spanish flag today in my avatar.

Mark, that was indeed a good game. Both of them. Great day for soccer!

**mrtr33** · 07-02-2010, 11:02 AM

What an exciting game. All I can do now is just listen to the games, and I'd still like to see exactly what happened with that red card there at the end, but who would have ever thought the Netherlands would come from behind to beat Brazil? What an awesome game!
