Through!!!!! :d
Gonzalez, man of the match for me. Felt much better without Cameron back there too.
I do wish American commentators would stop calling this the group of death. It's not. It's just a tricky group. If not for Ronaldo, it wouldn't even be that.
Edit: slomo boobies!!!! YAY!!!
Anyone else tired of watching Bradley right now. Not sure who could replace him for better play but jesus i just want to ball to avoid him for the entire match haha.
Ahh Reno come to the dark side muhahahaha

Very disappointed with Bradley right now. I feel like he keeps losing the ball. Wouldn't be suprized if he accidently buries one in the back of our own net.
Think they'll let Suarez play soccer video games?

An orange cone.....
I might have to start listening to the radio broadcasts... (mildly NSFW: language)
I think most people who you assume don't like soccer really do like it. They are simply tired of 'soccer guy' telling them why they don't get it. It like hard core soccer guy thinks of you don't love it than you hate it and if you hate you are stupid. Lol. There's is a middle ground, trust me.
WC had been great! I actually re-watched the US match last night before bed. They looked better the second time because I wasn't so amped and could pay better attention to the game.
I was really hoping we would see at least twenty minutes of Mix Diskerud yesterday... I think he is the future at the OMC position...
Jizz means spirit, the same as spunk. Oh how Brits larf when Americans say someone is full of spunk.
Yep, but best to beware of the alternate meanings of your words otherwise you can get into a sticky situation....
Otherwise you get egg on your face.
Frantically looking for alternative meanings for the word egg
As far as all the increased bashing that has gone on I think LGI has got it spot on. This WC has failed to fulfill a number of stereotypes that continually get trotted out against soccer/football. We've seen scoring, few draws, and some very compelling upsets. This leaves them with diving and simulation to harp on endlessly about. Heck the Wall Street Journal felt the need to rank the teams by flopping. Perhaps they'd like to rank how many minutes of a game baseball players spend scratching their jocks or how many minutes of an NFL game is actually devoted to playing (Side note: I'm not a fan of baseball but I do love the NFL)?
I think at this point rather than celebrating the fact that the US is starting to do well internationally in a sport that we're not known for they would rather continue to tow the "Let's make fun of soccer" line. They do this out of either some deliberate need to be contrary to the rest of the world (we're 'murica, we don't need your sport!) or just generally being lazy and content to spout the same crap knowing it'll get a response.
