WORLD CUP 2010

Yep, he's playing really well.  He is normally goalie for Everton in UK.  US have really embraced football (soccer) in recent years and they've got a great team now.

So pleased England have brought Crouchie on, he's gangly but brilliant!

Not quite the start we'd have hope for.  G

[nixage]

better than expected for us (US).

[J Cosmo Asp]

I can live with 1-1.  Wonder if the odds sheet has changed?

[Madame Buttonfly]

I should think odds of USA winning will have shortened!  Well, good game, disappointing but never mind, long way to go yet….!

AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH

Only a double?  I've just finished bottle of wine…

[Giles]

Annoying, but apart from the one obvious mistake, I think we played very well.

Onto the next… going to watch ARG-NIG on the dvr.

Be interesting to see what the press will say about capello tomorrow.

The time zone here is killing me softly in the month of World Cup!

[Seul]

First surprising game still to come. US and UK play alike… North Korea vs Brasil on Tuesday is the game I'm reàlly looking forward to btw 

For tomorrow: GO AUSSIES!.. (Sorry Beats)

I'm sure Beatle will correct me if I'm wrong, but Lukas Podolski is probably the man to watch on Team Germany, he should be one of the most dangerous scorers in the tournament. The other striker, Miroslav Klose, always seems to come up big at international tournaments as well, he led the last World Cup in goals I think.
