ZeroG001 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 ^That game was so much fun to watch, though! It got really silly after the third goal. What happened to North Korea after their game against Brazil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Congrats, Portugal, you beat and embarrassed the worst team at the World Cup... and somehow needed to throw in 16 fouls in the process - wtf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I can't believe American fans cared. Â Right after the game ended, everyone driving in Manhattan seemed to be honking their horns for the next 5 minutes. Then again if this had been the New York Yankees winning the World Series (or the Puerto Rican Day Parade) the horn honking would be still be happening.

Hercules Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have to say that was absolutely incredible. Â To be honest, I think ESPN's full coverage of the event is what is getting people more into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 To be honest, I think ESPN's full coverage of the event is what is getting people more into the game. People were really into Curling for awhile too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I didn't say Americans are going to start watching more MLS or Premier League games as a result of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooksta77 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 History today as two brothers played each other in the World Cup for the first time. Jerome Boateng of Germany and Kevin-Prince Boateng of Ghana. They have been fighting due to Kevin-Prince rupturing Ballack's Achilles. Thought it was interesting.

ParkTrips Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I remember being in Washington in 94 when the Mexican team qualified for the knock-out round - not a huge deal, even to me as an American - and the city was full of crazy Mexican celebrators. That was my first glance into how passionate of an event the World Cup can be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm now rooting for Mexico, just to see how many "locals" here would risk deportation by being stupid, and breaking laws during their celebrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaneymon Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I must laugh at the fact the NZ got more points than Italy in there group. This pleased me and the rest of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Ginger Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 Inland Empire, representing at the world cup. It's so cool that that Landon Donovan is from Redlands! I was surprised when I found out, because I don't really link Redlands with soccer superstar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Linn Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 It was a good run while it lasted...shame it had to end. Bradley is a moron for starting Clark and Findley though. Clark is the reason we went down 1-0 and Findley does not belong on this kind of stage. If Altidore keeps developing and the defense gets patched up by young guys, we'll be much improved come Brazil 2014. Â And, since both the US and Ivory Coast are out, go Holland.

ParkTrips Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 What a disappointment. They just ran out of gas trying to play catch-up in the 2nd half. Damned early goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
