Great game probably the best so far, given the two distinct styles of both teams but especially to the US by coming from 2 goals down, should have won in the end though and it was a disgraceful decision. Bob Bradley (Hannibal Lecter) as the commentator called him should be a happy man too. They should now beat Algeria in the final match and have 5 pts, its going to be a tight group on who goes through.

We're actually in an "ok" position with 2 points so far. We still need some things to happen to advance, though. First up, of course, is a win against Algeria. We need to make them our punching bag really...

As long as England beat Slovenia, you've got a great chance of making the last 16. Slovenia played much better than I expected today, but we beat them in a friendly not so long ago, so I fancy our chances of pulling it off again.

The time is nearly upon us gentlemen. Im off out for a load of beer then onto a mates house, which should hopefully be full, to watch the game and with any luck, to have a party.

See you all 3 points later!

So how's it going?

TheCunningStunt · 06-18-2010, 12:46 PM

We look tentative.

The Monkey · 06-18-2010, 01:22 PM

Exactly why was the third American goal disallowed?

I suspected we might see some retribution from certain countries for things like Vietnam, Soviet collapse, and our continued rejection of the metric system. I just didn't think they were going to change the reality of soccer to do it.
