I would expect the attack to score in bunches against Algeria and Slovenia just was we did in our last three friendlies.

I'd give a few of England's chokes to Howard's excellent positioning. But I completely agree about USA's defense. They need to communicate better and play smarter. They allowed too many holes for the English to run through.

Wow, Germany just put a whoopin' on Australia. Germany's attack looked brilliant and creative. Germany should go 3-0 in group play which could lead to a matchup with the U.S. if the U.S. gets out of group play (which they should).

Simply awesome. You never know what can happen in each game. Love it!

Holy crap. I'm totally hooked. I watched the Argentina game casually, the US game with somewhat interest, the Slovenia game (that looked like an insanely slowly kicked goal) intensely and the Ghana game rabidly.

I'm streaming it now at work. I wonder how long it will take my boss to realize I'm not working any more.

NBA what?

I'm streaming it a little now and then too. I logged in just in time to see Japan's goal. Good stuff!

PENALTY SHOOTOUT

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.

Germany played a great game and not to take anything away from them, but, Australia's defense looked lost the whole first half of the match!

+1. I am watching the Italy - paraguay match right now. I am shocked Italy can't be more aggresive at the front! Then again, Paraguay's defense is doing a great job.
