Extra time in the USA v Ghana game!

I'm really hoping that USA go on to win. Why? Because they have been one of the few teams in this tournament that have a positive outlook; they actually seem to want to win, rather than simply avoid losing. Also, in Landon Donovan, they've had one of the stand-out players in the tournament so far.

So, for once, Go USA!

Yup! That's the team I've voted for...

Funny that you bring up Donovan's prowess. Critics blasted him even with his excellent performances with Everton.

Ghana scores... 2-1

Well, in addition to his excellent personal playing performances, I think Donovan has inspired what is, on paper, a fairly average team to play well above themselves (I guess the coach has to take some credit for that too though).

I still think USA can equalise

Fingers crossed they will! I already had half a bar of chocolate to survive this nail biting game!

USA lost. That second goal was like a punch to the gut that they never recovered from.

If you think you are allowed to leave this thread you're all wrong. I expect you to support Germany from today on

We might be out of the running, but we still kicked Algeria's ass. Also, we made England's goalie look horrible. I'm okay with this.

EDIT: If I had to choose between the England and Germany, I'd go with Germany. Just sayin', last time, you needed us, England... :P

Don't be sad about the elimination. USA did very well and acheived their best result in world cups. I'm curious to know how will they evolve 'til 2014, the next world cup.

Now, too cheer up: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88426

Paraguay, I root for Paraguay... Oh, you mean tomorrow? Hmmm...

I'm invited to a huge party to see that match. The host has a home cinema with a four meter screen, the kind where you have to move your head with the action.

I don't want to break your heart Ravenne, you're dear to me. But, but... Many of my favorite players are in the England team... And I like Philip Lahm...
Okay. My heart is with England and my brain with Deutchland. There...
