CAHILL KING!!!!!!
Just anazung!
sorry amazing even. Fingers crossed for injury time.
It's a done deal.
:-)
Great stuff.
There will be partying in Australia tonight.
Japs have gone to pieces...
3 - 1 in the last few minutes.
Whew, where did that come from?
Dutch tactical acumen combined with Aussie fighting spirit :-)
Japan just got tired and stopped pushing up.
AMAZING. Go Australia! 3 goals in 10 minutes. Great intro to our game with the Czechs.
Feel sorry for Japan's goaly. He was excellent but ...

Keenly looking forward to the USA game.......
Go America!!
Like that's going to happen. The US may have troubles getting out of their own bracket, let alone past the first game (if they got there). I really don't think they're going to get out of their own bracket though. If they do, it will be in 2nd place.
We still can have hope... or faith. Go U.S!
I wouldn't be surprised to see Eddie Johnson -- if not as a starter than as a substitute.
I already informed my boss that I'll have a LONG lunch today -- fortunately he is a German National so it's not an issue.
I doubt many people in the last World Cup predicted that the USA would get out of their bracket and Argentina and Frnace would not advance.
The Czechs are all new to the World Cup. I'm not ready to concede that they will advance. For that matter, I'm not ready to concede that Ghana won't. Michael Essien is a better player than anyone on the USA side.
Time to leave the office to watch OUR boys play! (what's this THEY you kept mentioning in your post?)
Enjoy the game!
Good luck to the team USA!!!
I would bet he's first off bench.
Convey starting today. I think thats a good thing!
