THAT´S IT!!

CONGRATULATIONS USA!!! You did very well and have quite good chances to beat Ghana. Now it´s the question who can recover better, Ghana or the US. For the Italians, this tie is like a defeat.

Well done, very well done!!!

Yippee!

I feel much better about Thursday.

Now...

I might be on the road all day and have to figure out a way to at least listen (rather watch)! I don't think we can take a 2 hr breakfast stop!

For the Italians, this tie is like a defeat.

Right on!

Thanks for your support Michael!

For the Italians, this tie is like a defeat.

I hope some Italians are crying all night on this one, soince their team cheats as a strategy. And since that crappy ref hurt us more than them they can't even say "we wuz robbed."

Funny, since Soccer is still an unknown spectator sport here.

So the group standings are:

TEAM W-D-L PTS GF-GA
ITA 1-1-0 4 3-1
GHA 1-0-1 3 2-2
CZE 1-0-1 3 3-2
USA 0-1-1 1 1-4

So, let's see...if ITA beats CZE, and USA beats GHA, ITA and USA advance...If CZE beats ITA, then USA must make up a 5 goal differential with ITA (and 2 in the GF column) to tie, 6 to win....If CZE and ITA tie then USA need only make up a 4 goal differential (2 in the GF column) with CZE to tie, 5 to win (but they'd have to do it all themselves)...
