If Messi turns it on Argentina is going to be hard to beat. Germany looked real good today. USA and England one hell of a game. We don't really know what a few teams have like Spain untill they play. France is a little iffy after that first game. HAve to wait and see but overall i'm excited for soccer. (For once)

I would like to see at least 1 African team make it to the final four. Hopefully its Ivory Coast because Drogba (lets hope he gets by that broken arm) is by far the best player in this cup and hes my favorite :)

Did anyone watch Spain vs. Switzerland? Easily the best game of the Cup so far. Spain had so many chances but they just couldn't capitalize. But how about the Swiss goal....just plain luck. That the guy went head over heals and kicked the Spaniard in the face.

I watched like the first 30 minutes, and Spain was just dominating. The Swiss couldn't even get the ball, let alone score. They came back though, I'll give them props.
Props to Nigeria???? They lost because they had one player lose control and tried a front kick to an opposing player...Greece isnt even that good
I didnt see the entire game so i didnt know someone got Red Card'd I watched the last 20 minutes of the game and saw they only had 10 guys on the field.
US-Slovenia was one of the best soccer games I have ever seen. Of the US would play all the time in the 2nd half I think they would garner more fans! The referee basically screwed the USA from arguably the greatest comeback ever at the World Cup
The US isn't out by any means. They have a few differnt outs to still get into the next round. Just got to come out and play a dam good game on Wednesday.

That is really a dismay that South Africa is gone. Cameroon is already gone and Ivory Coast is about to go unless they drop a 9 bomb on N. Korea. Its all up to Ghana and Nigeria now.

Ghana has an excellent chance to advance even though they do play Germany....They are leading the group and are playing without their captain and top 5 in the world defensive midfielder Michael Essien.
I think Ghana has a good chance because Germany doesn't have their Captain either which is hurting them some. France was bad. Really bad the whole time and it sucks to see Sotuh Africa gone after a good showing today.
So This is what it comes down to. Tomrrow morning 10:00 EST The USA puts it all on the line. I think its a winner but thats just me

That game was Crazy. From getting screwed (again) by the refs to Dmepsey almost scoring to missed calls then Donovan bringing it down to Jozy to Clint and Landon with the put back. Possibly the greatest soccer game i've ever watched and I think everyone in America that was watching or gives two ****s about their teams was watching or heard about it

Paraguay vs. Japan was one of the least yet most entertaining matches I have ever seen.
1st half was extremely boring with neither side getting much action but the 2nd half was crazy with possible goals just about every 5 minutes. Extra time was much of the same 1st half.
The shootout was the most entertaining part. I found myself holding my breath on every shot. The 3rd shooter for Japan hit the crossbar and that was enough for Paraguay to win 1-0 (5-3).

If nobody has read this in my quick thoughts already, here it is:
One Dutch porn star twittered that if Holland wins the Cup, she will give all her followers a blow job. Since that post, she has over 50,000 followers.
