Greece was disappointing.

I'm enjoying Maradona's team, though. So far they look pretty good.

Yeah, Argentina has a nice attack.

I love south korea they play so well, great passing on some goal opportunities they couldn't quite get and another sure goal opportunity denied by a bad call on a flopping defender it should have been at least 3-0

clearly england is highly favored in today's game but I have this feeling, today is the birth of fùtbol as a major sport in the U S of A!!!

USA! USA! USA! (3-2 USA! All second half goals after scoreless first)

Messi's great talent just jumps out of the television screen. He's a pleasure to watch.

Come on daschoo, everyone knows that the rest of the UK doesn't have any football teams () so climb aboard the England express, you are more than welcome

As you say though, I can't see how anyone makes the US favourites. They may well win but they cant be favourites.

If you went through the teams man for man, the only player from the US that might make it into the England team would be Tim Howard.

That said, football is a team game & if England are not as committed as the US, they could be in trouble.


PS Greece are rubbish, 2-0 South Korea now

Full speed ahead to another quarter finals penalty shootout exit no doubt :laugh2:

What the **** is that background noise? That's more irritating than soccer.

Those tubes you blow in. Pretty annoying. Sounds like you're playing inside a hornet's nest.

And that's why, Rob Green = useless

 

[daschoo]

sorry but that was hilarious. its a shame for green, in fairness i like him but that really was funny.

Is that because he reminds you of a Scottish keeper

if you had craig gordon playing you'd be one nil up

 

[UKCowboysFan]

if you had craig gordon playing you'd be one nil up

fair point

 

[UKCowboysFan]

Poor result & performance by England.

That said, if we hadn't gifted the US a goal it might have been different

Will be interesting to see how the teams get on against Algeria & Slovenia, especially the US to see how they play when they are favoured to win

 

[Biggems]

I hate soccer...I find it to be completely lame....however, I love me some World Cup action

USA USA USA USA USA


btw, I would like to see more attacking with Donovan, Dempsey, and Altidore
