Who's ready for the World Cup? - Page 6

Thanks for the pic, Moe

Unfortunately no more Greece

At least we held Messi scoreless. I'm so disappointed. I feel like I wasted 2.5 hours watching today. Hopefully Greece can build on their performance and bounce back in the next World Cup.

Maybe they should recruit you as an Enforcer type player Christos

U.S. predictions for tomorrow?

Mine... 2-0 U.S. Altidore and Donovan get the goals.

If the US doesn't get into the next round it will be a joke...that's 2 perfectly good goals disallowed...

Glad someone on the USA team finally realized the object is to get the ball into the net when looking at an empty one, not shoot beside it!

Justice!

De Bleekere used to be one of the best refs in Europe, but he lost it. Disallowing that goal was a joke, just like the red card for that Algerian player (other players were protesting, not the captain)

He lost it a while back when he pretty much eliminated Chelsea versus Barca with his bad calls. Have no idea where FIFA finds these jokers. I predicted balls calls today 3-4 days ago when FIFA announced he would be refereeing USA game to "atone" for the Mali clown in last one.

Mugen910 · 06-23-2010, 10:10 AM

Now that is was a game!

homerjay19 · 06-23-2010, 10:20 AM

The US game was intense...looking forward to the Ghana Germany game later this afternoon.

Best sports moment I've seen in a long time.

I was watching the USA game earlier and as soon as we scored I posted the above. Later as I was rereading the posts and couldn't figure out how others had posted about the USA result before me... Yep... I was watching the match recorded on DVR!!!

Unlike Brent, I was watching the USA v Algeria game "live" this morning up to the last 30 min, and then had to hit the road. Fortunately, I turned-on ESPN radio and caught the remaining excitement, including the goal, which almost made me loose control of the car on the 5 freeway. I'm sure several motorist saw me fist pumping inside the car

St. Lou Stu · 06-23-2010, 10:55 AM

Wow

hotreds · 06-23-2010, 01:55 PM

Anybody watched any of the WC on their cellphones? Wondering how that looks?

marge796 · 06-23-2010, 02:08 PM

Congratulations Team USA!!!

TheRiddick · 06-23-2010, 06:37 PM

My apology for questioning FIFA referee selection process, they seem to be an equal opportunity employer after all. Mali ref at the USA Slovenia match...

Don Fernando · 06-24-2010, 09:53 AM

goodbye Italy, who would have thought that before the WC?

gvarsity · 06-24-2010, 09:54 AM

Interesting how a lot of the big European teams are doing poorly. France last in their group winless and Gone. Italy in trouble about to be Gone. Spain losing to the Swiss. Germany losing to Serbia. England tying the U.S. and Algeria. The big European teams are looking vulnerable. The only teams holding their own is the Netherlands and Portugal a team historically the most likely to fold up with dominant talent.

On the other hand South American teams are looking outstanding particularly Argentina. Still Brazil is Brazil, Uruguay looks tough, Paraguay is playing well, Chile is playing well and they are all leading their groups. Five of eight groups are lead by South American teams and the other three groups don't have a South American team.
