USA and Ghana just about to begin - should be a good 'un. :)
Saw Clinton in the stands, hand on heart, singin I say can you see.
Clint Dempsey had tears in his eyes. You yanks are weird. :bulb:
I flipped on ESPN, thought I might watch a minute. It wasn't on, even though they are the only people who have been airing the World Cup besides the Spanish channel (sucks for anyone who doesn't have cable who might want to watch). So now my son is watching it in Spanish.
I did, however, find out that it is on a regular broadcast station, so I might switch. Or not, I'm not terribly interested.
That was a quick goal. ABC is airing the USA vs Ghana game, lolli.
Yeah, I found it. The vuvuzela sound is less irritating on Univision.
Hmmm I wonder if the US will get its act together in the second half.
Commercial break, drinks anybody ?
Penno!
Well, the US should have wrapped this up.
brutal.
Americans out.
Ghana deserves to continue in the tournament - now the only African nation remaining.
Well done by the Amerikans though.:up:
Yeah, lots of missed chances.Quote:

I guess it's now 10 minutes past kickoff.
I have to assume you ejaculated prematurely, though. You were way too excited to make it last. :(
That's a rough start. :noob:
Oh for fuck's sake... but good game so far

Useless USELESS CUNT of a referee
45 minutes and everything to play for though
useless FIFA more like, it's not always possible for a referee to be able to see everything >_<
So, we're out of the running, American lives can now return to normal.
wait...
brits you guys should always play like this :heart:
Ugh. I can't bear to watch anymore :(
Christ on a stick that was bad. Who knows what would have happened if the score had been 2-2. The English wouldn't have to all-out attack and be open to those counter.
Video refs goddamnit :mad:
Exactly. But what can you say? It always goes against us. We had the Same in Euro 2004, some European ref dicked us the whole game, and rightly so, felt the abuse of our media.Quote:

Bad luck on the missed goal, that would have changed the whole second half.
You still had a lot of good looks at it, just couldn't get the bounces, and Germany couldn't miss...just one of those days.
Thats a poor image, such compression makes it hard to see where the goal line truely is.Quote:

Also, go Argentina!

hmm
Anyway, I predict the daring solution to the latest international tournament debacle will be as follows:
1) Fire the manager.
2) Change nothing else.
3) Hope it all somehow comes together next time.
