Great result and I think the USA will be the favourites against Ghana and will deserve their place in the Quarters should they get there. Their disciplined and direct style reaps rewards.

Sorry for Australia as they are the nearest team in style to the USA and if they hadn`t lost so heavily to Germany may have gone through instead of Ghana.

As for Serbia........What a sorry bunch, the technically gifted Slavs like their Croatian cousins 4 years ago, lose out to the Aussies

Its going to be 50-50 German team ethic and grit, against English Spirit and renewed confidence.

Well done, Aussies. As much as the rest of Australia has abandoned you, I think you did alright, considering the circumstances.

In normal circumstances, Chile should be footballistically sodomized by the European champions next friday. But in this World Cup all the "normal circumstances" have totally disappeared. Nobody knows what could happen now.

Of course it is! Last year it made a superb performance at the Confederations Cup. And it was very difficult for Brazil to win USA at the final. The team was praised by the whole International sports media.

England Germany 2nd round tie will be very interesting, one big European team going home early either way. I don't fancy our (England's) chances really, while we created a lot of chances we really weren't clinical enough. We should have won 3 or 4 to nil, which could (potentially) have put us top of the group.

Lampard missed what was essentially an open goal, albeit with his left foot. Rooney missed a simpleish one after doing all the hard work in making the run, and Defoe had an equally scorable chance that he somehow managed to miss. These are the sort of opportunities we need to be burying if we want a chance.

Yeah, I'm just don't usually follow soccer. I only recently sat through my first entire soccer game a few days ago. I have to say, it can be quite boring at points and extremely exciting at others. It's a very up and down tempo game. But I guess I'm glad the US is doing well.

Chile are a good side and I wouldn`t be surprised if Spain for all their talents slipped up on that one. Interesting as Spain, Chile and Switzerland vying for those 2 places, Switzerland should be routine against Honduras but you never know.

Most teams this tournament haven`t been clinical enough, even Germany have just scored one goal in their last two matches, its surprising how teams have lacked in this given the importance of goal difference.
