World Cup 2010

[Trompe le Monde 1,107]

I don't know why Altidore wasn't subbed - he was useless

Regardless of who wins today, I hope it's a great match to watch.

If England play as mediocre as they did against Algeria, the team better not come back!

But if they play like they did against Slovenia, we'll be in for a match.

Remember, both teams had a 'mare in their respective Game 2's

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I didn't think they played particularly well against Slovenia. Better than the previous two games, but still somewhat mediocre.

They did - but Germany played a heck of a lot better than England did, even when they were a goal down and had a player sent off. They beat Serbia on possession.

At least they didn't lose.

Playing like seaside donkeys and not losing is a characteristic trademark of England at major tournaments. As is playing well and losing.

Yeah it's obviously good that they didn't lose - just wish they were more aggressive. England teams never seem to be.

When they need a win - they'll get one goal and then play the rest of the game as defence.

Are you always this grumpy in the morning?

I still remember an England match where they only had 7 shots on goal and won. Care to guess which one?

This England team hasn't acquitted itself yet - 4 mediocre performances so far, starting with that Japan friendly.

Definitely not a morning person

It's not morning.

[Pooky 3,784]

It's not morning.

That's entirely relative.

Go Germany!

[Pooky 3,784]

Go Germany!

Go where?

I am heartbroken that USA is gone, we could have beat Ghana had we played a little tighter in the first half, and during the extra time.

Regardless, we did well...I am proud of the USA and all the obstacles we overcame.
