Dah! USA lost.

At least they played well. Landon Donovan was so close to scoring.... I hope Soccer will be more popular in the US now.

Go Korea!!!

(although I think the final will be Brazil vs Spain)

I'm rooting for Turkey to take Senagal.

After that, I want....I mean must see Brazil loose eek! I cant stand to see Brazil in another WC championship game.....just cant stand it.

As for the US game, I'm dissapointed I pulled an all nighter again! It was a very good game, lots of umph....but they could have done much better.

If you are talking about the computer game, try using only half of the power, aim at the corners, curve only a quarter and keep trying cuz the wind changes and each time the result is different.
Thanks a whole bunch man, outta about 50 shots I still came up zip! **Gives soccer a bad name**

Well...tomorrow, DAE HAN MIN GUK!!!!

well, seems like Brazil is going to have a little trouble. Without Ronaldinho, and his ability to assist Rivaldo like the last game, Brazil is missing a center man big time. But still they are still a very strong team. So far can't see a team can stay in their way. Looks like Brazil is gonna get it this year.

The US team played better than I expected I think their coach solved the size problem and did it very well. They know the Germans are too tall and slow to accelerate. Too bad they didn't get the goal that the ref could've called a hand-ball at the goal line.

I guess the final is gonna be Brazil vs Spain.

All you have to do when playing against the Germans is keep the ball on the ground. They are slow, pretty un-organized, and tall !

All Korea or Spain has to do is keep it on the ground and run the **** out of them, and they will take home the victory.

I hope Turkey can do the upset over Brazil, I like variety in soccer...not the same damn team taking it year after year. Its just amazing to see the underdoggs prevail.....makes you think what talent lies where!

I'm afraid this is not true. I've checked everywhere and no-where does it say that he is going to miss the final game.

I'm not saying anything, I m not jinxing it. I was excited though after the win today by my team who I still don't have totaly faith (Spain and Brazil are gonna be tough if either advance as far as Germany)
