It's supposed to be the best football, but the ever decreasing time that nations have to get together does not make real football teams. That and the quality of the referees is killing this tournament. There are a small number of great referees that I'm sure do at least 2 matches a week during the seasons. Why can't they do that here? And who lets these clowns on to the pitch?

So, 5 games or so in and it has been pretty poor fare to be honest.
England were awful, they were like a Championship side and a mid table one at that. Good point for USA as well, they can look to picking up points from the other games now and should qualify for the next round I reckon.
Maradona's beard and cheap suit remind me of a guy who has just been let out of prison.
Today's games don't offer much for the neutral apart from maybe Ze Germans tonight against Ze Aussies.

Ireland would have kicked Uraguay's ass. Give 'em a hand.
USA USA USA USA USA USA! That was sweet. An early defensive lapse, sure but Howard was immense and Onyewu and Demerit were rocks. We created chances and were rewarded. Dempsey's shot may have been muffed by Robert Groan but it had some spin and mustard on it. If not for Groan redeeming himself and pushing Altidore's fine shot on to the post, we'd have won. Prior to the game. I'd have jumped at 1-1. I was in heaven when that was how it ended. The pub had IPA on the hand drawn cask, the USA picked up a point in their toughest game, good friends... a capital afternoon. Nothing in sport comes near the World Cup.
