Yeah, it was as bad as the USA giving up a Goal in the first 45 seconds of the game :P.. You have to give it to both Goal Tenders for some of the amazing saves they had in that game.. Though I worried that if England had lost that game, we would see London Bridges falling down and England on fire from a ravaging pissed off English Mob. :P

I find it ironic that America consistantly puts forth world class soccer players (football) yet as a nation remain about as apathethic to the sport as I would guess the world is towords America football (the rugby like one). Underfunded and pretty underapreciated and they still have the ability to piss off the world by being a top tier team.

It's hard not to get caught up in the enormity of the World Cup, even for those who don't like sports a lot. It's so big and so ubiquitous. Plus, when family members have it on the TV all the time....well, then it's impossible to ignore. :D

Well this is a chance to educate some of us. You'd be surprised the way people are getting into soccer now in the states. I am actually surprised that the US is even taking this much notice in our soccer team.

Evidently the Sounders (my city's soccer team) has one of the most dedicated fan bases in the US, but I think it's because we recently lost our basketball team and were looking to fill a void the Sonics left behind. (sniffle) And compared to the rest of world, the most dedicated in the US might not mean much at all. Still, people around here go ape shit over soccer. I don't think it's as ignored in the US as people might think, but there still are plenty of people who snicker at the idea of soccer, as if it isn't even really a sport. I think some people hold that position simply because it is HILARIOUS to watch a soccer fan flip out over someone bad mouthing the game though.

So far so good. There've been one or two hiccups in SA but nothing too major I don't think. Bafana tied 1 - 1 with Mexico, which everyone is so proud about. I watched the game at a local fan park which was packed with about 6000 people. It was an absolute riot
The Ger - Aus slaughter was painful.
It's great to get involved. Up until Friday's first match I had never watched an entire soccer match in my life before.
I don't know how SA soccer fans compare to US soccer fans, but they go pretty bos (mad) over here as well.

England were ok i guess but i fear germany will kick our asses.

Quote from: "Tank"Quote from: "Dretlin"Japan deserved that, far more than the Danes did.Agreed. Japan really looked good and wanted to win.
So many times I was shouting at my TV: "What are you doing just staring at them!!?? Dae something!!!"
I hope Japan go far.
I wholeheartedly agree. You could tell it meant everything to them. I am sorry for my fellow Danes! Hopefully, its a lesson learned.
I have been really excited for a couple days about tomorrow - Portugal vs Brazil!

I am very happy its a group match. I would be disappointed to see either Portugal or Brazil go before the knock out stage.
Who knows, maybe its a dry run if they meet in the final!

I feel sorry for the Danish, but Japan was this evening the better team.
Poor Cameroon, they played pretty well, but lost all their games.

It might just be a passing-back fest. They are both already through. I hope it is a good game though.
I was cheering for Japan tonight. They were amazing, especially Honda. His free kick was Beckham-esque. They are certainly ones to watch because if they play like that again, they are finalist contenders.

England should be able to beat Germany, because:
1. they are still an inexperienced, young team
2. the German defense is weak
3. they don't have a "charismatic" striker, who is able to put fear in the hearts of the English
Basically, the 2006 German team was much better than the current team. The 2010 team is severely crippled by the absence of Micheal Ballack.

Quote from: "karadan"They did ok in the end Tom :(In the first 35 minutes it looked like that the English team were fast asleep. When they were two goals behind, they finally woke up and put a lot of pressure on the Germans. That lasted till the first quarter of the 2nd half. The 2nd goal of England should never have been disallowed. The whole world, including the Germans, find this a disgrace. I can't really blame the referee, because the ball went in and out the goal again with an enormous speed. But I do blame the FIFA, because with the help of technology this type of referee mistakes could be prevented.

But Tank...they're THE GERMANS.
They play some bloody good football, mind you. Wiped the floor with England, blew away Argentina. As the most exciting team in the tournament they probably deserve to win it.
But they're still the Germans, and I'm pulling for Holland.
So there.
