World Cup -2010

[GRH]

This is my first World Cup that I've ever watched. So far I've enjoyed watching the following games:

England vs. USA-- America lucked out with their goal
Ghana vs. Serbia-- Ghana lucked out with their penalty kick
Germany vs. Australia-- Germany looked scary good
Italy vs. Paraguay-- Italy was underwhelming
Netherlands vs. Denmark
Argentina vs. Nigeria
Cote d'Ivoire vs. Portugal-- I was half sleeping through this

Currently I'm watching Brazil vs. Korea

I must admit, I don't fully understand all the nuances of soccer, but I'm beginning to pick it up as I watch games.

Congrats to the USA for beating Algeria and topping the group!

We've got ze Germans next... should be fun.

France and Italy have both been eliminated. Does that mean the amount of diving will be decreased?

That was a REALLY nerve-racking win against Algeria. America had so many chances to score in that game that they didn't capitalize upon.

Yep, the judges have been sent home as they are no longer required.

Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Spain are all very nice, but I think you are all forgeting Portugal chances on the competition. We have never won a world cup or a european Cup, but we were close and there's certainly some talent on the team. I think that if we can beat Spain on the next game, the portuguese team will be launched and can be the surprise this year.

lol Portugal will go home like USA did today :D

England 1 - 4 Germany

We were dreadful and got what we deserved.
And if it wasn't for our star player, David James, the Germans would have probably scored eight.

As for Lampard's chance....FIFA has issued this Official Photograph to confirm why the Uruguayan Referee & Linesman were correct to not award England a second goal.
