Agreed, but at this point I think they are playing with the house's money. Getting out of the round robin was the key. I think they would really be up against it if they should draw the Germans next round.

If if it had ended scoreless, would the US had advanced?

EDIT: Looked it up and I don't think they would have advanced with a tie. Needed the 3 points to jump ahead of Slovenia, but correct me if I'm wrong

Wow, amazing.

That was cool - When they scored, I was shouting USA USA USA in the office and I'm noT even close to being American! I do know that the US winning the group sets it up nicely for an England Germany 2nd round game as long as the Germans win tonight!

Brazil is playing possum with Portugal.

I tuned out until the knockout stage starts. Everybody who clinched is pussyfooting around.

I can't get over that first goal.

I hope Ghana has enough people to finish the game.

I hate to say it but the reason the majority of Americans hate soccer is because of the diving and fake injuries.

Defensive vaginas.

Don't fall behind and the fake injuries won't occur. Ghana was stalling because the referee was allowing it. The US put themselves in that position.

All in all, a proper finish for the US. Getting out of their group was a realistic goal, they achieved that. A quaterfinal exit was probably the best they could expect. They fell one game short of that, but were not disgraced.

Both games should be very interesting tomorrow. I don't think England or Germany has what it takes to win this, but they are evenly matched. Argentina needs to keep their momentum they built up in the group stage against a scrappy Mexico.

It's because we lose to Ghana etc. We aren't world class at it, so why would we care much about it? Americans aren't wired to care about stuff we aren't good at. Every 4 years, we care about not getting beat too early in the World Cup. Then, they choke and/or aren't good enough to keep winning. The sport can't really get a good hold. It's still mainly for tree hugger's kids, and Snow White professional residential areas. Still, you'd think they would get more of the other sport's leftovers.
