Good goal, that.

[naiwf]

I had a bad feeling about this one. Looks like I was right.

Slovenia making us pay for pretty much the same weaknesses we were showing against England.

[Dont Fear The Reaper]

Marvellous strike

[Walker]

lol, America

EDIT: In all seriousness, good goal, Slovenia are looking good. Wouldn't surprise me if England only manage to finish Runner-Up in this group.

Wonderful celebration too.

[Lineker]

Good goal. The celebration had nothing on South Africa's during the opening game though.

[therockbox]

Watching the replays, is that the first time that a player has shot from long range and not just twatted the ball as hard as possible? I can't remember anyone else trying to curl it in like that from outside the box.

[LUKIE]

Fucking nazi jew killers! WHAT THE FUCK!!!! The ONE game I wanted them to win, and they have to lose.

Fuck Serbia.

And what the fuck USA goal keeper! WHY WERE YOU STANDING SO FUCKING FAR OUT OF YOUR GOAL. Ludicrous. It wasn't tea time, it was time to put the rocket boots on.

Fuck the World Cup. Italy better win the whole thing now.

I'm thinking that Howard's ribs had something to do with him not diving. Not that I think he'd have reached it anyway.

[Szumi]

Why does Bob Bradley continue to have his team hoof the long ball? It's never been working for you against a solid team, it didn't work on Saturday, isn't working now, and isn't going to work, period. Try and actually pass the ball around, not just kick and run.

Because he's not a good coach?

[LUKIE]

He didn't dive because he was in an absolutely ludicrous position. There was no need for him to be that far forward.

I actually want the USA to win damnit!

[GoGo Yubari]

What the fuck was that? What a fucking dimwitted referee.

[Szumi]

What a blessing in disguise that is for USA. Findley gets a yellow card (even though it was an awful call), and is out for the next match. Good thing, because he hasn't contributed anything at all really to the squad. Thankfully we're starting to pass now instead and are looking threatening.

..Wow. And then that happens.

[Lineker]

2-0!!

[naiwf]

See you guys in 2014.

[maninblack]

Slovenia came to play.

C'mon, Yanks. You can do better than that!

Slovenia and England to progress! Yay, the beer is all but mine!

[The Quasi Juice]

Wow, the second round games have been wonderful so far.
