    Netherlands and Ivory Coast was a good game but Ivory Coast got shafted because of that one effin idiot ref. He yellow cards Kone over something he had no control over but let's one of the Dutch guys commit bloody murder and only gives him a verbal warning plus he takes ages and ages to make some calls. What a crock.

    Unless we play a hell of alot better than we did against the Czechs it'll be an easy win for Italy. I hope that isn't the case though :)

    Good for Angola. Still hope for them. Nothing clear in this group yet.
    Portugal may be classified tomorrow.

    Italy-U.S.A and the Czechs vrs. Ghana...

    I'm thinking the Czech Republic and Italy.

    U.S. will have to be faster than last game to have a chance. But again, nothing written on stone...

    What do you think??

    Man i can't believe how good Argentina is. The way they move the ball is unbelievable, i think they can win it all. And Messi, is amazing, he played like 20 minutes. Got a goal, and an "Assist". From now on, i'm saying Argentina is gonna win it all.

    Portugal is in. I feel sorry for Iran though, great game, unfortunate events.[;_;]

    Czechs crushed by Ghana. Good game, bad referee...

    Such is life in the Cup.

    Waiting for USA-Italy.

    Unlucky for the Czech Republic but Ghana played great from what i saw (2nd half) and deserved the win, don't know about that slow ref taking like 15mins to red card that guy then yellow carding the Ghana guy for taking the penalty kick 2 soon :-/

    I'd like to know what crackhouse FIFA goes to to hire referees. I thought the moron in the Ivory Coast/Netherlands game was bad but that idiot for USA/Italy is one sorry bastard. The one red card I thought was justified was for the guy that elbowed McBride in the face - that was just a low down cheap shot especially coming from such a professional team as Italy.

    It would've been nice if we'd actually made our own goal but I'm proud of the way our boys played today especially for being a man down for such a long period. They drove the ball hard and took alot of great shots at the goal :)


    I sooooooooo want to see Brazil play Argentina!

    For now we'll just have to settle for Brazil-Australia... lol and for what I saw in the last Aussies game, may not be easy for Brazil.

    Results today were amazing. WOW!!! Good come-back from USA and Ghana.

    I don't think the Czechs and Italians saw that comming... (I know I didn't...) lol

    Very good World Cup so far (despite some ugly referee decissions)
