Portugal Gives U.S. a Kick in the Gut
If the U.S. men's national soccer team somehow doesn't advance to the knockout round of this World Cup, they will spend a long four years thinking about how they were just seconds away from it.

There are FReepers who care about this?

Belgium through after Divock Origi sees off Russia with late goal
If there was one man you could guarantee would stand aloof from the general joie de vivre of this World Cup, it was Fabio Capello. He is living this World Cup as he lived the last, grimly battering away criticism as drab tournament performances fail to live up to the promise of qualifying. The Sovetsky Sport columnist Yury Tsyban had described Capello’s football as being whisky after the champagne of Guus Hiddink at the Euros in 2008; this felt more like a £3.99 cava grabbed as a last resort at the garage on the way home after a late night.

Algeria beat South Korea in six-goal thriller
Algeria moved them tantalisingly close to a first ever appearance in the knock-out rounds after dishing out a 4-2 defeat to South Korea in Porto Alegre on Sunday.

It was the North Africans' first World Cup victory since their famous 1982 success against West Germany and was the first time an African side had managed four goals in a single World Cup match.

Klinsman has the USA playing a lot like Germany - your ability to score goals is pretty good so I would not discount the USA beating or drawing with Germany - A win would give you an easier ride in the second phase so it is worth playing for - I think the USA team is better than everyone gives them credit for!

I would like to introduce a motion that we henceforth refer to Cristiano Renaldo as “that b*****d” from this day forevermore.

It sure is interesting how things can work.

Germany seem likely to win group G. They would play H2 who at this moment would be Algeria.
