This group has become way more interesting...

exactly! more interesting....ghana was awesome in the second half they kept pressing the attack over and over again...if the czech goalie wasn't so good the czechs would have lost 4-0

go GHANA...i'm moving there tomorrow.

Heard the dude's on the pregame show say he predicts US to win by a score of 2-1 for an upset.

Lets see if he's right. I'm going with a 1-2 loss for US. I just can't picture them winning :shakehead:

if they win it would make the ghana upset look like as important as three farts after eating a bacon double cheeseburger....

i just want to see that they don't get blown out.

Ghana was great, and the czechs really miss Jan Koller up front.

but damn, Italy vs USA was a such a massacre: 2 red cards! I've never seen that before on a big event, hell it rarely happens in normal league games.

Beasley nearly scored the winning goal, but sadly his teammate was offside.

THREE RED CARDS....due to a second yellow. That referee will definitely get the boot...he was the worst referee I've EVER SEEN....and they already said that back in 2002 he got suspended from officiating any second round matches due to "irregularities" pointed out in his work by OTHER referees...

why the f*ck did they let him officiate another match...HE SUCKS...he ruined the match man..

well i mean 2 red cards for one team, never seen that before. but those tackles really deserved red. those were attempts to break people's legs really.

it had much too much influence on the match....9 men vs. 10!!! in the World Cup? that's practically unheard of...that referee is truly a moron.....
you know all FIFA must be having a field day with his ass after that match....he should definitely be suspended from further matches.

I'm not much a soccer person and I can't figure this out. Sorry for being so dumb. What does FIFA mean anyways??? Futbol...something something Association???? :sweat: :sweat:

I didn't see all of it. When I watched, only guy on Japan team that seemed like he still had energy was Alex. They had a really nice chance to score couple times, but missed.
