Nice win by the US last night over Ecuador 2-1 to reach the semifinals. The bad news, due to yellows and a red, 3 players will be missing the next game. The worst news: probable opponent is Argentina. The odds will be very long.

I didn't think that it was possible, but I need to congratulate Sweden for setting the game back 100 years. Today, they lost to Italy 1-0. They didn't manage a single shot on goal. In their first game against Northern Ireland, they played to a 1-1 draw. Note, their score came on an own goal by Northern Ireland. Other than that...no shots on goal during that match! So, in 180 minutes of play, plus injury time, they have ZERO shots!!! No truth to the rumor that Sven Ryan is coordinating their offense. Pathetic!

They should make the field smaller to get more shots.

Conversely the cheaters looking really bad You are a very sick man. I believe a nation is just another form of fiction nothing more. So I don't see any difference in rooting for for example Barcelona or the jets as a "foreigner" and rooting for a different national team than what my passport says. Moreover I feel very alienated from 90% of my "countrymen" and am not shy about the fact that the only thing keeping me here is my practice and the fact that this is where I can make the most money. Furthermore they are cheaters and my personal integrity is more important to me than the Turkish national team. In short; yes I am a very sick man.

Good God the fields are atrociuos. Players a re slipping all over the place. We build new state of the art stadiums, but the fields are pitiful. Lille and Marseille particularly. Marseille will hold a quarter and a semi final. Guaranteed the field will be the cause for some major event (a slip, a bad bounce..)

Wasn't expecting that from the Croatians. They beat em fair and square. Penalty was total BS too.

Wales and Croatia have turned the bracket inside out. Croatia could go all the way with their bracket and if they play like last night. Bottom half will be tough for anyone. Spain will have to go through Italy then Germany just to get to the semis...

Spain will have to go through Italy then Germany just to get to the semis... The difference between the brackets is unbelievable. It's like the JV tourney and the real tourney. They've really shit the bed (pun intended) with the new noone gets eliminated format. I just know the Fucking cheaters will squeak by and then go on a run and they fucking end up like third by beating Wales and Romania or something like that.
