Good luck America!

Looks like Portugal is the team that needs to be worried.

Shouldn't we tell Ghana that the name “Black Stars” is racist, and they shouldn't call themselves that? I suggest they change the name to “Rainbow Stars,” or maybe “Unicorn Stars.”

Germany is crushing Portugal.

[kevkrom]

Because after Ghana, the U.S. takes on two giants: Germany and Portugal

Well, one giant (Germany) and one complete train wreck (Portugal).

Underdog to Ghana neatly symbolizes exactly where Obama thinks this nation should be.

Ahhhh. . .not a chance.

This is horrible.

Hope US loses.

Soccer is not right, except ad a fun kick ball game for kids to play, unorganized.

Ghana would appreciate it. Hope they win.

[stremba]

Let me preface this by saying I don’t really care about soccer at all. However, my pride takes quite a bit of a hit to think that our national team got knocked out of two straight World Cups by Ghana. Ghana has what, a population of about 100? A total GDP amounting to roughly the value of a bag of soccer balls? We got beat by THAT country TWICE. Sorry, but we need to win this one. Any self-respecting superpower ought to be able to grab a win against the likes of Ghana, for goodness sake.

(BTW - In case it’s not obvious, the above is meant to be a bit tongue in cheek.)

The authors are delusional.
