7-0. Ouch.
I was rooting for North Korea. To receive such a beating after losing only 2-1 to Brasil is harsh.

I am loving this game. South Africa are roasting the cheating french and giving them a big hand out of the competition.

A largely gutless performance, partially salvaged only by Ribery--who I generally can't stand--late in the game.

Domenech just proved how much of a **** he is. How could you refuse to at least shake the hand of the other coach?

Out of three games, Mexico tied one, won one, and lost one. Just like 4 years ago. Even so, it classified to the next round, just like 4 years ago. And now it's going against Argentina... just like 4 years ago. When we lost.

I don't think things could have possibly gone better for Argentina than they did. They breezed through group, rested players (Messi can run all day and all night, and is probably better off not resting), gotten bench players involved (including a goal from 37 year old Palermo), and generally had a lot of fun, while really growing as a team.
Of course, you never know, but I don't think Mexico will be the favorite...

I think our team was abducted by aliens and have been replaced by clones who can play!
1-0! Seriously, it's like a whole different team. |

Yet another clean goal disallowed for the US.
It's almost like a pattern...

Yahooo!!!!
*koff* Sorry. US 1 - 0 in overtime, or whatever they call the time tacked onto the end.

What, the last minute one? They didn't show that on the highlights - they're reporting it a US win.

I give a lot of credit to the Algerian goalie. He had a couple of great saves

Okay, okay. The USA goal stands. But FIFA has arbitrarily awarded Algeria a goal in the game for "unspecified reasons." It's now a draw.

Congrats to the US and to England for two narrow wins. Boy did the yanks leave it late though.
