Yeah, far better now. Shame they don't qualify top but well done to the USA. That looked like just as tense a game as the England one.

One thing I'll never understand, though, is why Frank Lampard can never perform as well for country as he does for club.

I eagerly await demonrail's West Ham oriented response to this...

WE'RE #1 IN THE GROUP!

i almost had a heart attack! what a game!

jeeez. so dramatic. i really didn't think they were gonna get it done if they didn't score in the 60-75 minute range, because everything after that starts to look desperate.... though sometimes that works.

Yeah, the USA game sounded totally intense. They deserve to be top, given their disallowed goal against Algeria and that it took England two games to turn up.

In answer to blunderbuss:

fucking awesome awesome awesome. I almost shit my pants.

the USA attacked so much, it was beauty to see. wowowowowoowow

I am gonna watch the replay on Univision tonight just to hear the announcers scream at the top of his lungs GOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously!


I've never been so excited about a single gol in my life!!! shit! fuck! damn! We almost didn't get it after Algeria blocked US out for 93 minutes, I thought it was done, I thought we were out to Slovenia... then that magic goal!

NBA buzzer beating finish right there! That shit was almost more exciting than the NBA championship last thursday! fucking US way to come through in the end!!!!

Hot damn!

also.. Ghana still has a big big chance, they either need to win or draw against Germany, and if Australia beats beats Serbia then Ghana can even still advance with a loss, but nothing will be as good as that last US/ALG match.. it was even more exciting than the US/UK match, because this time we actually qualify! my JAH!

I think for the first time in my LIFE I am going to go and buy some cheesy American flag gear ;)

should I go with a classic

or should I go all fucking out?

AXL loves 'merica!

so does this chick but I'd prefer this one





of course this is exactly the kind of shit that traditionally makes me balk away from the American flag : (

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

when in doubt...turn to a spurs player to bail ye out of trouble!!!

delighted for england, moreso for the americans....great results all round1 deserved1 now for germany to fuck up!

what a fucking week it is for me. I don;t know what to do with the rest of my day!

The USA not only advances in amazing fashion, but it wins the group! first time ever!
I got an xbox 360 for $90 off the Ebay, and am hooked up to play online with my friends
and I am getting my repacement phone on Friday, a Blackberry Bold, which I am so hype about, since I have never had a "smart phone" and have been using a second hand cell phone for the past 3 years. FUCKING AWESOME WEEK.

ger-eng next sunday eh?

we'll find out in a little over 2h15min...

MASSIVE RELIEF

We were better today, of course, mainly because of Jermaine Defoe (He's a Yiddo) but unless theyre at 100% for the whole game, theyre going to struggle with a side thats on our level. The passing was good, the intensity was good, but Slovenia were rubbish and Germany, Ghana or Serbia will be much harder to break down unless Rooney produces something special

I was in the pub for the first half, and you could hear the fans singing over the vuvuzelas, if theres one thing we have over everyone else, its that we can sing everyone into submission. The atmosphere in the pub was terrific but i didnt want to pay £3.20 for a pint and a seat in a room full of sweaty men, so i went home.

Overall, im glad we've avoided national shame, but i dont think we'll get beyond the next round

KIS in good point shocker!

Two valid goals for USA weren't accepted.
Within 3 matchs.
Yanks are not welcome in this world cup, I think.

he runs like a girl and cant take a corner to save his life.

I like Lampard a million times more than Ferdinand, Terry, or Gerrard. He seems like he's living permanently under John Terrys shadow, because he should have been England captain when Terry lost it, and it would have made him alot better as a player

thats true, i prefer him to ferdinand but gerard at least looks like a chav made good.

ghana/germany is a good match.
