Looks like some Germans snuck in the crowd.

No, the US is now 100% in control of its fate. Not fucked. Not even slightly fucked.

Don't you wonder what it will take for people to stop talking about the games like this? So far, Mexico has tied Brazil on home soil, Iran very nearly got a result against Argentina, Spain (the favorites) flamed out in two games, Australia gave the Dutch all they could handle, Costa Rica beat the piss out of Uruguay…

Nope. This is awesome. I love how everyone thinks Portugal's all that Lol.

Well then, poor execution of strategy by the Ticos.

In Costa Rica's screamer preview, I recall quite a few commenters around here questioning whether or not the Ticos would even score a goal during the World Cup. I was scoffed at when I noted that they would steal points away from the three "favorites" in this group.

Rooney bears a resemblance to Shrek physically, and in that he was good once, but each successive time he performs, he gets worse and worse.

Good. Maybe Spain will join civilization and dump these people to fend for themselves. And speaking of the World Cup:

I was wondering that. But hey, if she waits for a good reason to waive a Canadian flag at a World Cup game... she'll be waiting a long time.

MLS players having some good tourneys so far

Perhaps, even, since 2002.

I don't see Beckerman losing his spot after that performance, and there's little reason to move Jones back after how well he played last night.

I'm American and a huge USA soccer fan. So, yeah, I actually watched the game and know that USA scored 2 points.

Moral victories are nice; three points are nicer.

This comment is how-to manual for USMNT cynicism: (1) Use the term "overrated." (2) Condemn a player on the basis of a single performance—in this case, not just Bradley's worst game but virtually his only bad game for the US in recent memory. (3) Exaggerate/fabricate the praise US players receive: who on earth has…

hey, bloody bloke, possession is nothing, goals are everything.

If only Lampard and Gerrard worked together so well.

And nobody cares about you since the day you were born. No need to wait.

It's not always racism. Sometimes it's just xenophobia.

I have never, and will never, understand how Americans can make any sports discussion about LeBron James.
