World Cup winners ??

[Jamdiver]

US 1 - Italy 1.

This sets up a very interesting set of final round matches in this group.
Theroretically every team here has a chance of advancing..

As are mine, i've only been correct in 1 of 3 picks..

Well, we got screwed again -- but then again, what's new? We ALWAYS get screwed! The ONLY legitimate red card in the entire game was the one on DeRossi for elbowing Brian McBride in the face. Pablo Mastroeni's red card was barely a yellow and was only issued as a makeup call. And Eddie Pope's second yellow was only a foul and should never have been a card! For all the critics of U.S. football -- I hope you're satisfied!!

He was the man of the match, but for all of the wrong reasons.

Believe me the game started to become a bit farcical after the second Red card.

But I honestly think that all the fouls that were being committed was setting up the ref to make some horrible calls.

Yup and the funny part is, I actually think that the Ivory Coast is better than Ghana, but of course they were in a tougher group..

USA looked much much better than they did against the Czech Republic, they actually look like a team who came to the World cup to win games.

Yes, they'd probably do a LOT better if they came from a country that actually LIKED football!
