    Awesome game !

    to anyone who missed the game - We had a fair goal disallowed for the SECOND time in the tournament and we scored a goal 2 mins before the game ended to make it through to the next round !

    WOW !

    Yea I didn't mind this call as much. This is a mistake that can be made with off sides. This time no one was getting mugged and tackled and the call goes on US.

    IMHO, a nice run - assuming this hasn't already been a nice run - might be what is needed to bring The World Cup to prominence among US residents.

    That would be the 'top down' compliment to the 'bottom up' role played by local recreation league, high school, etc. leagues.

    I don't believe the 'bottom up' approach, alone, will ever do it.

    Gip, that goal was the equivalent of a two out bottom of the ninth home run, or a TD on the last play of the game. And that goal means "we" as a country have finally arrived on the world stage.

    It's not just a "glad to be here" thing. We have higher expectations now.

    Yep.....think Byner scoring the TD rather than fumbling at the 1.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    That is what happened when we were watching, everyone was jumping up pounding fists and smacking hi 5s, I just sat there and wanted to punch that sissy Slaughter in the face more missing his block and our trip to the big show.

    I think there was a really good take on cleveland.com about soccer- at least now the sport is getting as much recognition in the USA as the Olympics. Everybody seems to be watching.

    BTW, don't want to get too far ahead, but the United States got a real favorable draw in the knockout stage. If they can get by Ghana, and probably Uruguay, they wouldn't have to play Brazil until the semifinals.

    Congrats to Ghana. Great game. At least the US is now seen as somewhat as a power in Soccer in the World and are not a joke. Good game lads.

    I wasn't a soccer fan before the cup, but I have really enjoyed watching the game, I learned a lot the last 2 weeks about it. I think all those guys really earn their money playing 45 minutes plus at a time.

    Yea I can't explain it. Growing up in another country provided me with a great experience on why soccer is a great sport. Playing soccer gave be the edge when I played basketball.

    I bet you are now going to tell me that NASCAR takes more athletic ability then soccer.

    There are so many things wrong with this website, I don't know where to start. I didn't know Die Hard can put together websites.

    I understand why you would take a shot at our kind of football but they are just worlds apart and can't be compared - a sport that has billions of followers can't be dismissed out of hand. Anyway, I just watched England get spanked by the Germans so I don't want to watch another "soccer" game for at least 4 years.

    C'mon you Browns!!!!!

    Go away T.

    Anyways, I'm happy that we made it out of the group stage. We just need better strikers, we had a bunch of chances (against Algeria too) that Findley and Jozy just blew by kicking it straight at the keeper.

    Also, replay needs to be allowed, the tea sucking English got hosed. Off to watch Mexico and Argentina.

    This world-cup is filled with more refereeing controversies than memorable moments.
