World Cup 2010

Soccer is so much more exciting when you're truly rooting for one of the teams.

The best USA can hope for is to reach the quarterfinals.

Hater.

Quarters would be tremendous.

I wonder why they never played between 64 and 85?

Because we were a bush league outfit that didn't make any world cups, didn't play any major friendlies and didn't have a team of professionals. We were the soccer equivalent of the Charlestown Chiefs except way less funny and they were the Maple Leafs.

Howard's status for Friday's game is uncertain..

[thrill]

He's undergoing tests, but not x-rays so nothing is broken.

[Tambourine Man]

Man, Germany's fun to watch. Once they get in the attacking 1/3 it is on. No dicking around.

[thrill]

I put $20 on Germany when I was in a casino in Laughlin, NV like 4 months ago. I don't remember what my odds were.

That said, this is a crappy Australian team.

[Tambourine Man]

Yup, the score's not reflective of how lopsided this match has been. I want at least 2 more this half.

[PujolJunkie]

Australia has looked horrible. Are they this bad of a team or is Germany just a beast?
