USA USA...
Thank you... the team of the Legend(Ballack)-Killer is almost gone; Boateng the arrogant Ghetto-Boy is pi$$ed in the interview because the own declared god couldn´t believe not to be member of the Ghana starting eleven. How great. How sweet. Shall he never come back.
Great day for Germany and USA. Perfect.

Cheers everybody, let the beer run. :)

Jones was a beast in defense. Without him it would've been very hard.

I really don't understand two things:

1. Why on earth play Beasley? He just isn't good enough on that leve, without Jermaine's protection he'd been completely lost. They have Chandler in the Squad who is a good right back. Jonson to play on the left. That would've been much better.

2. Why on earth not play Boateng? He's by far the best passer of the ball in Ghana's team plus he is a warrior and always tries to do something decisive. The only one who played good vertical passes in the entire game.

Boye had a nightmare. At fault for two goals. I say their manager will be getting heavy criticism for not starting Boateng.

Johnson played well and Jones worked hard which I was surprised to see him starting on the left as I never seen him play there when he was at Schalke and Blackburn. I think there's more to come from Bedoya and Bradley, although Bedoya started brightly, both of them are better than what they showed tonight.

The second half turned out to be decent in the end. Great win.

Back in the days, at Frankfurt, when Jones was still a forward, he did play at the wings at times.

Loved him ever since. Great spirit, wonderful fighter.

What I don't understand with Mueller is he is rolling around on the floor, then when Pepe comes near him he is on his feet at superspeed. SHould have been booked for play acting as well as Pepe being sent off.

He is of good German stock what else can you expect?

Though sloppy for a good 60 minutes, that was a great win for the US. You guys may not realize but this World Cup has been quite popular here in the States already. Yesterday's match was projected on giant TV's outside in cities across the country with huge crowds. While this was done in WC's past, the crowds yesterday were definitely bigger, even more spirited. There are also numerous other viewing parties for all countries and matches all over the place. Today's Brasil-Mexico match is likely to draw large viewing parties here as well.

Love that map by Dazed. Hilarious!

Today's daring selections - BEL, BRA, RUS to win.

I'm particularly looking forward to seeing how our 'zuiderburen', the southern neighbors, cope with the expectations that have been heaped on them. There is no doubt that this is potentially the best Belgian team in many decades, possibly the best ever.

Belgium vs Algeria
I really don't care about these guys,anyway it will be a big surprise if Belgium don't win this.Today Belgium squad looks stronger than the one in which Wilmots was on the pitch.
