After they fucked us over, it's poetic justice.

Question for the big soccer guys. Which team in group D would we most want to finish 2nd to play next round? (that has a chance at finishing 2nd)

I would say Ghana. They don't pass well, their top player (Michael Essien) is out, and none of their strikers put fear into the US defenders.

There is going to be a goal in the 93rd minute. It will probably suck.

It didn't suck, though!

Best comment I've seen so far:

Final Group C Results:

US ties England, 0-1.
US ties Slovenia, 3-2.
US beats Algeria by 1, 2-0.
US beats FIFA refs 0-2.

People get mad at Rossi for choosing Italy over the USA.

Imagine taking the pitch at the World Cup....and playing against your OWN BROTHER.

Germany-Ghana has that today with the Boateng brothers.

Good God this match is just as good as the USA match.

It's wide-open, and both teams easily could've just scored--Germany got a terrific chance saved, and Ghana had a shot cleared off the line.

If that happens, we face Serbia--I'd rather face Ghana than try to break down a central defense led by Vidic and Subotic (side note, imagine how good the USA team would be if they had Subotic and Rossi!)
