0-0 I say

What has to happen for the USA to advance? 2 wins? Which would mean they'd somehow have to defeat either Italy or Czech?

Is that possible?

 

[Ellestin]

One win might be enough, and if the US are in a similar shape than 4 years ago, they are definitely able to beat anybody.

I don't even watch soccer, but I love the World Cup for some reason.

Oh my god, if you went to see a game, say Brazil vs Italy....it's indescribable.

 

[JayKeeley]

if i lived in a place where more people gave a shit it would make the world cup a lot more fun...i was in europe during the 2004 euro cup, now that was crazy

When England faced Brazil in the 2002 world cup, it was on a weekday so the entire nation took a national holiday. They set up IMAX screens in public parks.

And have you heard what happens to Colombians when they score own goals?

Brazil although we drew with them not to long ago or won i can't remember

In Medellin 10 days later, Escobar was shot 12 times by a gunman as he left a nightclub. With each bullet his assailant was reported by police to have shouted: "Goal."

man that's hilarious...and i'm sick in the head for laughing

 

[dorian gray]

yeah, i remember that.
anyway, i played organized football for a good 12 years and then pick up games for another 5 or so. that said, it's SO boring to watch - in person or on tv. im finding it hard to even get interested in this Cup at all. granted it's a beautiful game but 1 goal per 40 minutes of passing around is not exciting. i'm hard pressed to understand why the rest of the world is so into it.
