Well, I'm off to mow the lawn, water the plants, walk the dogs then sacrifice a goat for the god of football :amen:

England's new captain should prove helpful to the team.

When he flies them back home on the 24th...

France takes a 1 - nil lead over Honduras just before the break on a free kick after Palacios', um, cross-checking penalty.

Clint Dempsey has more World Cup goals than Wayne Rooney and Lionel Messi.

Amazing win by US. Now just the easy task of taking on Portugal and Germany for them to look fwd to.

Re: The 2 page World Cup Thread
 

Amazing? I don't think so, but I was very happy to see them win (despite my usual contempt for the USA). This is because I believe that the US has the potential to become a powerful footballing country, and if it ever did it succeed in that might very well put a major dent the crazy idea that baseball, the NFL and, excuse the swearword, the NHL are "popular".

If and when the USA become really competitive in the World Cup, I think that could trigger a big dent in American Exceptionalism and lead them to gradually realize that the rest of the world does matter a tiny bit and that they are part of it.

Re: The 2 page World Cup Thread
 

Thats funny coz i also wanted them to win. It will put MLS on the map IMO.

When Brooks scored the second that was a moment, he was so shocked when he scored, subbed on and a rookie, awesome for him
