just about right

Ghana team seems to be in a near mutiny… two players kicked off team…could have implications for US although we control our destiny… I don't get a lot of the African teams…work so hard to get to the World Cup and then self destruct..

You thought he should get more?  

Anyway go Germany.  Hopefully they can humiliate the "American Team".  

I think I know why soccer is so popular in so many places. You don't have to big and tall to play the sport.  It isn't like Football or Basketball where you have to be huge or even Hockey where you have to pretty muscular to play.  Any half a man can play the game.  It is probably the same reason super-hero movies are popular.  Small guys can dream they can suceed in real life.

Reminds me of France in 2010, although I think that was far worse

I thought he should get nothing….but I'm a huge Uruguay supporter so I'm a bit biased! :)

I am big Orioles fan but I think Manny should still be suspended. He got off easy in my opinion for a third time biter. 

He will bite again.

i've only got gamecast going right now, but it looks like the germany-US collusion pact remains intact has been compromised.

Colluding to let the German's win?  Anyway hopefully Ghana can score a couple of goals so we can end this thing.

Sore loser. If Germany lost I would be much more sporting loser than you.

If Ghana wins I think they are in as they scored more goals.  I didn't bother to read the link.  Well so much for Ghana winning.  I think at this point it looks like the US will advance.
