USA up at half, but Ghana looks better if only they could finish. It will be a very nervous 2nd half I think.

I don't think US and A should play so very defensively as they do now, it feels like Ghana is closing in on a goal, too much defense is not good I think...

A news reporter said that the US was vindicated. Apparently Ghana eliminated US during the last two World Cups.

Is there a soccer competition going on somewhere? I've just spend 5 days (nearly 8 hours a day) following cricket between England and Sri Lanka.Greg Bernhardt said:
But I guess a game that takes that long, goes right down to the wire, and ends in a draw is too hard for some people to understand
The London Olympics screwed up the international cricket fixtures for a year either side of it. At least the ICC are treating FIFA with the irrelevance it deserves

That tie for Mexico was a huge upset, and is making me rethink whether Brazil will win the whole enchilada.

I don't think Brazil has what it takes. No way they beat Netherlands or Germany right now.

I agree. I'll probably change my vote to Netherlands tomorrow depending on how they play.

LOL
Australia just scored 2-1 against Netherlands. Is this match played in Neverland?
EDIT 5 min afterwards: Now it's 2-2. Not so much Neverland anymore.

It's certainly not Spain this year. They have one half to score at least two goals or they are out.

Spain needs some hungry youth. This team has won too much. Loving it!

What happened to the Spanish passing game? The "ole!" has turned into "oh ****!"

Chile is now one of my favorite teams. Tons of heart and lots of entertainment.

The Spaniards are not playing as one team. They are playing individually, as 23 overrated individuals.
