    In the first 10 min of the second half. And it just scored another goal while I am typing this. 2-1
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    LOL!!!!
    Thanks for keeping me up to date.... but don't let me keep you from enjoying the game.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    good game. The score stands at 2-1. Korea was clearly waiting for the buzzer to go off, in the last 10 minutes.

    On to France and Switzerland game in an hour.

    no offense to France or Switzerland...

    Looks like Spain just unleashed the hounds of hell on Ukraine....

    Spain is a darkhorse in the Cup

    Dayummmm!!! What a first half kicked **** game! Ghana is redeeming itself with a continuous barrage of offensive playing that leaving the Chezch must have felt like shiaat! if Ghana can play like this, surely the US has the chance of NOT being the last group in Group E!

    It ain't over yet, can't wait for the second-half. Btw, anyone wondering, it's on ABC-DT (High-def) right now.

    The biggest upset in this world cup, 2-0 for Ghana! Thanks to Ghana, today's game of US vs. Italy will NOT be the determining game whether US advances to the second round. What a EFFFin' game!

    Freakin STUNNING!!! What an upset!!! That offsides penalty that took the goal away from Czech really hurt.

    I tell ya, I'm sold on World Cup Soccer. These games are nail biters from start to finish. I don't care what game it is.

    Argentina is a damn beast!

    Come on USA!
    No excuses!

    US bounce back! Could have been a lot better without the red card, but now it looks even for both. Second half would be very intense...

    Soccer fans, give 'Green Street Hooligans' a rent or buy on DVD sometime. I think you guys would enjoy it.

    That referee should be sent home right after the game; worst I've seen and I've seen a lot of soccer. A$$ hole.

    Freakin' hell!!!

    Good to see we're still in it, but two effin' red cards?
    And how many flops was Italy aiming for?

    ....eff that, how many off-sides were they shootin' for?

    America turned it around and played with a lot of heart. Good for them. Now a win against Ghana coupled with a win by Italy will have us in the round of 16.

    USA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The last ten minutes seem like everyone dragged their feets, but it was a very worthy fight, even though the referee is a moron. The last 15 minutes he pretty much let **** run its course.

    USA..USA...USA...USA!!!

    I used to play soccer when I was younger but then the older I got, the less interested I became.. Now my two big sports are football and hockey. Hate basketball because of TOO much scoring and baseball is just WAY too slow. Don't even get me started about golf.;)

    I usual still watch the world cup since it only comes around every four years. The thing I truly hate about soccer is the offside rule. I don't know how they could change it but I hate how the last defenseman is where the offside line is at. Just as soon as you think someone is on a breakaway, they stop because of offsides. Taking it away would stop a lot of those boring 0-0 games, thats for sure.

    Hopefully the U.S can somehow get in to the next round because I want to see the States actually do something in soccer for once. Come on Italy, we need your help( If you guys don't know, for the U.s to get in, they need to win of course, and have Italy win against the czech republic) .

    "Off-sides" keeps the other team from camping out at the opposing team's net.

    not that it matters anymore, they should have wait until they got to second round before asking for those 30K Euro each. What are they thinking anyway? buying the whole nation of Togo collectively?

    Ukraine is witing the history, bouncing back should be the theme of this year game.

    I know what Im going to say might piss some people off. There are countries that are obsessed with the world cup. If their country won, their whole country would go crazy cause they wait every 4 years for this tournament and love soccer. Now just say the U.S. somehow wins this(I know thats a small chance of happening), would people really care that much? I know their are some U.S soccer fans but I just don't see anyone caring that much if it happened. I want to see the U.S win just like any other fan but it just feels like won't mean as much for us winning then another country more into soccer.

    yep, it's a way long shot for the US team to be in the final four. But, the most it will do is to encourage little league soccer to flourish.
