to be honest, it doesn't matter that it was a draw, both teams will go through, watched the other game in the group and Algeria and Slovenia look terrible, both the americans and the English will go through, just who will go through top as neither will want to play the germans after last nights display beating the aussies 4-0

Honestly I don't understand soccer (football for you annoying non Americans =P) you play one and a half hours for 1 point? Talk about a snooze fest. That's just my opinion.

Spoiler: I don't understand why you Americans call your sport football.

Just sayin'

EDIT: And soccer can be exciting as hell, just not those World Cups, they are boring as hell.
Try watching a game between two teams that are about as good as each other. It can get pretty exciting.

To surprise quite a lot of people here, USA weren't NEARLY as much of an underdog as a lot of people think. They are currently 14th in the FIFA Rankings, the English are 8th. Bearing in mind this is out of 200 odd countries as well.

Either way, I didn't think it was that good a game, a good result for the USA but for us English, the side were not even a shadow of what they were in qualifying and we definitely aren't in World Cup winning form.

I think the Germans or the Spanish are going to win it this year, but I have Ghana in the sweepstakes so I'm all for them doing well

Don't know really, I'm assuming England will prevail. I actually watched Doctor Who instead... it was a good episode...

Despite the fact that they were on at different times?

And meh, despite being English I have a rooted dislike of the team (Except Robert Green), and my allegiances have been shifted due to a sweep-stake. I still can't believe I got Switzerland and Serbia

Not to you personally, but to all the dildos who are talking about how they were on at different times, I'M AMERICAN. I TORRENTED THE EPISODE AND WATCHED IT DURING THE FOOTBALL GAME. FUCK.

Ok ok ok ok calm down, it's easy to assume that you were misinformed about the time of the games, that's all. Jeez...

 

[VanityGirl]

Happy with the tie, I'll see how the next couple of games go!

 

[UnwishedGunz]

which means someone owes me $20!!

Well, seeing as there were about the 7 people saying "HUR DUR THEY WERE ON AT DIFF. TIMES WHUT R U DUM!?!" it gets really annoying really fucking fast.

Well as long as it wasn't aimed at me, as although I may have sounded somewhat snide I was merely pointing it out, I'm fine with it

OK, so now I have to make this not be a flame war(if possible, not my intent just very excited). What did you think of the game and what chances do you give both England and USA in a potential title run? Who do you think will win the Cup?

I thought the game was great and neither team will win. The winner of the 2010 World Cup will either be Argentina or the reigning champs:Italy.[/quote]

Have you seen Argentina their run-up matches? Granted they don't say much look at how we beat Denmark with a close 2-0 :S (I'm dutch).

And italy has an aged team. I place my bets on Germany,Spain and The Netherlands(biased).

 

[MrBirdy]

I'm english, so I expect dissapointment. I never put USA into the winning equation, I still don't. I don't really know much about the quality of the teams, but it seems (to me) like the way the teams were organised into groups was to seperate the good teams and put 1 in each group.

My list being:
Group A - France
Group B - Argentina
Group C - England
Group D - Germany
Group E - ?
Group F - Italy
Group G - Brazil
Group H - Spain

I'll be watching the final, and maybe some england matches later on.. but I'm not that into it.

How can you not have The Netherlands in that poule? Based on the Fifa stats alone... Then again, you probably don't even know us. We're the team with Van Persie and Kuyt...

Didn't the British win Bunker Hill as well? Not a great win, but still 235 years ago...

Well, Bunker Hill was a battle between some bitter British people standing on a hill with shitty weapons and more British people running directly towards them. Noone really won, just a lot of people died on both sides. More people died on the British British side because they were attacking. A quick game of TF2 would prove that's always the case. Imagine Bunker Hill was the second point on Dustbowl, with 2 sentries around the base and the blue team have no medic.

BLU still capped the point though. Hardly a tie. RED may have taken it back as BLU lost a lot of points, but it's hardly something to YouTube.

 

[Kinguendo]

the entire match he whined about how the US didn't deserve to even be tied with God's gift to the soccer world: England. Announcers are supposed to be objective if it's broadcasted on a national level. Had it been a British announcer in England he can say whatever, but he was completely biased towards england and gave no credit to the fact that the US actually played alright whereas England played like shit. He was a terrible announcer and whined and complained the entire match, but what else can one expect from the Brits?

You said it yourself, the goal was a fluke... you didnt deserve it.

And what was that last sentence? I couldnt hear your stereotyping for all the burgers you stuffed into your mouth.

But burgers taste better than crumpets.

Then you clearly have never had crumpets. A straight match up between a crumpet and a burger there is no contest, now make that burger an XL Bacon Double Cheeseburger and I will have to agree with you... But burgers VS crumpets, crumpets win. Why? Because if you eat burgers in the morning or for supper then you know you have a problem.
