I don't quite understand why Ghana still played so 'enthousiastic' in the last few minutes though, they even missed a few goals by rushing in as they did.
It seems like US-Italy is truning into a bloodbath right now ...

Czech really missed their big boys..
Anyway, go USA!! (Man.. That red card was more than surely deserved.. Come on Italy, what are you playing; soccer or karate?)

Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

Re: Official World Cup Thread
I'm just watching, 10 Italians vs 9 Americans. Italian offensive players play terribly.
Re: Official World Cup Thread
Whoa! Now that's soccer
Fantastic stuff. Well done US. I think if McBride had been a better player they might have even won.
I wonder if the game has converted any Americans to the beauty of draws?

Re : Official World Cup Thread
That was fantastic! One of the most interesting games so far. The Americans in the audience didn't look all that enthusiatic, when all the foreign papers will applaud the American team. Maybe the old stereotype still applies, that Americans just don't have a feel for 'soccer', at least a different one.
The Italy/ Czech / USA/ Ghana group is the most exciting by far. Their final games last round should be two thrillers. Brilliant stuff.
Re: Official World Cup Thread
That was a crappy game...are red cards for late tackles usual?
Re: Official World Cup Thread
I liked the game, good play from the Americans. A little too violent a game perhaps though...

Re: Official World Cup Thread
I can't believe Ghana beat the Czech Republic. Luck? Yes. Hard work? Yes.
On any given day though any team can win and the chances of that happening again in my mind are slim to none. Czech vs. Italy will be an amazing game. Ghana vs. United States will be an amazing game.
I just can't wait for Argentina vs. Netherlands and Germany vs. Equador.
Re: Official World Cup Thread
That was quite the game, exiting really.
Must say the referee knew what he was doing, 3 red cards and each and every one of them was deserved, also props to the linesman for cancelling the late US goal. Would have been great had they won, but it really was offside.
I'd expected the Italians to eventually score the winning goal considering how each and every American was thoroughly exhausted, but the goal wasn't scored, mainly due to some great reflexes by the US keeper.
As said, this group is definitely the most interesting one, each team is still able to progress to the next round!
Looking forward to the Italy - Czech republic game, bound to be interesting !
