i mainly hope that germany's defence will be solid, after the ghana game where they have looked suspect

speaking of ghana, 2 of their players have been excluded from the team after a fight during training
2 "stars" muntari and boateng

I wonder if Boateng's brother in the German squad would ever do something like that.

Ghana's deputy sports minister earlier had said that as much as $3 million in cash was being flown into Brazil from the West African nation to finally pay the bonuses to the unhappy players, averting a possible player strike.

Africans!

So far Pogba not living up to the "potential wonder kid" label:

I feel the same way. If a few non-Whites can discourage me from rooting for my own country.

Than theres no point in watching NFL, NHL, MLB or any major American sport.

The NHL is white dominated. Lumping it in with the National Felons League in particular is an insult.

Looks like Gonzalez has replaced Cameron, who messed up on the first goal, in the US defence.

Looks like its raining with a much cooler climate which will suit the Germans.If they play to win they should run out winners by at least a couple of goals.

I see Ghana scored.....an own goal.

Good for Germany and the US.

Thank god for the rain. I still hope USA pulls out a victory. It would give them a load of confidence going into the knockout round.

African defending at it's finest. What a clownish display, but look at that athleticism. LOL

 

[Thrashen]

Klose on for Podolski. Will his big moment come against his former coach?

Reminds me of Vincent Kompany:

His first goal playing for Ghana.

Here he is kissing (literally!) his $100,000 payment for playing for Ghana:

If Ghana score again, and they might given how poor Portugal have been, then the US would be eliminated from the World Cup.

But that assumes no clown show goalkeeping and defending by Ghana! Hilarious goal for Portugal.

great skill by jermaine jones:

Ronaldo could hardly have believed his luck.First the header,then the 'flap' from the keeper.

 

[Matra2]

Up next, a big win for Russia and a draw or South Korean loss to belgium so the Russkies can qualify.

Yesterday the black thug Valencia was red-carded for this :

 

[frederic38]

i didn't watch germany's game but i assume that their defence was solid since they didn't allow a goal?
or the US didn't really try?

If was switching channels every five minutes,but from what I saw,they were solid enough,plus Jermaine Jones messed up quite a few attacks of theirs.


Muller scored this beauty:

I really thought the U.S. had a chance in this game. Germany dominated the action despite the weather. I guess it will be a German/Argentinian final.

 

[frederic38]

in the ghana-portugal match there was a huge miss by waris who plays in france, a miss from very close range
there was also a big miss by jackson martinez against japan

 

[Westside]

US played tough, holding Germany to 1 goal. But I feel they were winded in the last 1/4 of the game. Germany is running on all cylinders. At the very end Clint missed a head shot goal by 12" over the top of the goal post. US needs a day or 2 of rest. I will be pulling for Germany, USA and Argentina. Glad Ghana is out, hopefully Nigeria will be out as well.

Yeah, but great players exploit their opportunities. Ronaldo capitalized.

Don't worry, they are a weak team. If not for Bosnia's goal that was incorrectly disallowed, Nigeria would be home already. France (Africa North) will likely dispatch of them.
