Here is an example of the great coverage the USA Team has gotten from last night's success in the World Cup. Eurosport is the biggest sports channel in the EU with different language versions.

I could not believe the 2nd red card...
I used to play soccer and actually got a red card one time, but I had to punch someone in the nose to get it.
Simply slide tackling a guy (after making contact with the ball) is a yellow card offense at best.

We're still yet to win a world cup match in Europe. Unless we beat Ghana and Italy beats the Czechs, we are done. According to all the hype, this is supposed to be the "best American team ever". Two games and not one goal of our own-doesn't look too impressive to me.

The 'own goal' was a forced error in the Goal Area by Italy after pressure from the USA. It was entertaning to watch and the result was about fair. Congratulations USA for holding Italy one of Europes premier soccer nations to a draw.

There are no 'heroics' in sports.

It was a good result! I'm proud of team USA. They really bounced back from a defeat on Monday handed to them by the Czechs. Had they lost, they would be out of the tournament.

Italy tied itself.
Soccer sucks. It's the perfect game for socialists - You must play with both hands behind your back - and the officials determine the outcome,
