thanks guys, we didi it, and I have no voice left. what a game…

;D

Alex Song.  Match fixing?

That's all I can think of….

Brazil is stoked as Cameroon have nothing to play for, but Mexico need be very worried…

Croatia could definitely beat Mexico…..My "picks" have been shredded but I do have Brazil and Croatia moving on…

What is up with Steve Mcmanaman (sic). …. he is beyond embittered….its painful to listen to him…  got the impression Ian Darke wanted to wack him a few times today…he was saying such stupidities..but its the bitterness that stands out…

I've been watching Univision.

me too…but don't speak a lick of Spanish.  But love the excitement of the announcers

Suarez backs it up…


ESPN announcers should say "Suarez es much hombre"

I feel like the entire board is watching World Cup games as they have cushy government jobs while I am stuck in the office.

Assuming your job has the luxury of high speed internet, i'd recommend tuning into ESPN3

anyone have a direct link to the live stream of the games? I've tried ESPN but don't have the login info for the service providers they ask for.

Not at all. I would stare at the wall in my office blankly for two hours before I'd watch the glorified kick-the-can that is soccer.

I still like our chances to advance… you have to if you look at the group standings


but that was sickening to watch…. Bradley's giveaway cost us the game… He doesn't look good at all at this Cup… I'm really surprised…

not sure about the 5 minutes added on… do they add on extra time because of the break for excessive heat?

It is for all the time for players laying on the ground pretending to be injured.  Anyway all the US has to do is not to get beat too badly by Germany and they will advance.  They have a five goal differential up on Portugal.

I thought since they beat Ghana they would advance if tied.  I guess I am wrong.  The way they run the first round makes no sense at all.  But whatever. 

Soccer is fine every four years like Figure Skating, Swimming or Track and Field.
