Wow that makes a nice desktop photo! :D
I think England will be fine.
Big News.. No Essien or Boateng for Ghana against the US.
The 29-year-old Portuguese captain played the full 90 minutes of the Group G clash despite recent injuries, but he was powerless to prevent his side being over-run as Germany’s Thomas Mueller scored a hat-trick.
USA!
USA!
USA!
Nigeria-Iran game ended in a 0-0 tie.
Looks like I made the right decision to skip that one.
The Iberian peninsula has conceded 9 goals in their opening games
Are we there yet?
Game won’t begin until 6:00 PM EDT.
"Thomas played very well up front. He kept Pepe and [Bruno] Alves busy the whole time. With his running paths he ripped the defence apart for other players – and he scored three goals. That's Thomas Muller."
I expect to see Germany in the Round Of 16. The two top teams in each group will go into the next round.
For the US to have a chance, it must finish second in Group G or go home.
No wonder its in the Group Of Death.
Game under way.
USA scores! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
1-0.
GREAT start!
USA score fastest world cup goal since 2002!
Just hope the US doesn’t get complacent.
Ghana is dominant.
US is being defensive.
This is not how you win a World Cup game.
