they looked like crap. that's all that needs to be said, hopefully they can pull something out of these last two matches, but chances are it's gonna be the czech and italians that move on in their group...
how about trinidad??? smallest country ever to qualify for the world cup and in their first match they get a draw vs. sweeden! not too shabby!!!

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Re: World Cup Soccer
How'd my boys Togo do today?
USA won't even score a point against Italy. They might seriously not score a goal this whole World Cup.

Re: World Cup Soccer
Not sure, but that might be the greatest thing I ever heard.

They aren't chanting "Osama" but for the Iran vs Mexico game, instead of exchanging pennants or small flags like usual, they both brought out American flags and cans of gas.

Hail, Hail to England. Looks like I was wrong when I said they would not make it past the first round.

Fans lose trousers to gain entry
By Harry Peart
BBC sports correspondent, Berlin
Hundreds in the crowd were in their underpants
Football's governing body has explained why up to 1,000 Dutch fans watched a World Cup tie wearing no trousers.
Around 1,000 fans arrived for the Ivory Coast tie in their traditional bright orange trousers - but bearing the logo and name of a Dutch brewery.
To protect the rights of the official beer they were denied entry, so the male fans promptly removed the trousers and watched the game in underpants.
Fifa said an attempt at an "ambush" publicity campaign was not allowed.
Fifteen major companies have paid up to $50m (£27m) each for the right to be official partners at this World Cup.
The American firm Anheuser Busch, which makes Budweiser, won the exclusive right to promote and sell its beverage in the stadiums and other venues.
There has been a wider resentment in Germany that a US brewery has the exclusive rights in a country which prides itself on the quality of its beer and has very strict laws governing its composition.
USA still alive to move to the knockout round. Way to go Ghana.

Re: World Cup Soccer
USA got screwed by the ref (Laritonda) big time vs Italia. These World Cup games always become political and I'm sure more than just a totally incompetent ref and fans in underwear will occur before this one is over. Gotta love the African teams and their athleticism, but where are the Lions of Cameroon????
