Watching the USA can give you a heart attack-ack-ack-ack! Dempsey and Donovan are exciting and frustrating at the same time.
At least the refs didn't win this one - having goals disallowed in two games keep us from advancing would have been too much.
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Funniest moment of the World Cup so far? Hearing an American interviewer and Donovan in post-match discussion. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good luck, Spain, Nuno.
And thanks mods, for allowing this little diversion from topic.

I supported Spain.
And they won.
Not sayin', just sayin'.
Wish Torres didn't look so injured tho. Cracking fluke of a first goal. :lol:
I was supporting Spain, too. Not just because Torres was playing, and Reina's in the squad, and Xabi Alonso (Benitez's single biggest mistake was selling him!) and Arbeloa - both ex-Liverpool players - are there - but because I do like the way they play football. Going to be a cracker of a match in the next round - Spain v Portugal!
So - here's the last 16.....(with my hopeful predictions....)
Uruguay v Korea Republic...........Uruguay.
USA v Ghana..........................USA
Germany v England..................England (against all logic!) (But please, NO PENALTIES!)
Argentina v Mexico..................Argentina
Netherlands v Slovakia..............Netherlands
Brazil v Chile.........................Brazil
Paraguay v Japan....................Paraguay
Spain v Portugal.....................Spain
Fingers crossed!
:D :D :D

Villa's goal was just WTF.
Watching the games on ESPN is no fun, the commentarists don't get all excited like everyone else in the world does.
I'm rooting for Spain, GO past Metropolis!
Italy was a total failure.
But football games bore me :(, I just TiVo them and watch em in fast Forward until I see a goal :roll:
I wanna be that guy that you wish you were ! ( i wish I were that guy)
You gotta set your sights high to get high!
