****...World Cup

<p>^There is no tie breaker... if they have the same number of points the team with the best goal difference advances.</p>

<p>So right now even though the czech and ghana have the same points czechs would pass because they have scored more goals</p>

<p>so now ghana plays usa and italy plays czech for the last round</p>

<p>Bruce Arena again.......blabbing about not giving up an early goal. Let the game begin. Gotta say he should be thanking Czechs. So will this be another upset? Will the Italians go home crying?</p>

<p>wow.. complete madness on the pitch.. Zaccardo scores an auto goal.. now its 1-1 and daniele de rossi is sent off for elbowing mcbride (that was one hell of a hit by the way)</p>

<p>Lots of blood and RED CARD.........wow the pace quickens. So 1:1 and McBride is working it.</p>

What was up with waving the Israeli flag, at half-time and after the win? (One of the players from Ghana took it out - a very small hand-size one - and started waving it.)

<p>Most of Ghana's team members play for other countries during the season. They all got together to play as one team for the World Cup, that is why there is a lot of speculation about how far Ghana will go. They have great players, but they just haven't been playing long enough to create a chemistry as strong as the other teams. I'm glad the game with the Czech Republic proved that they can play well as a team.</p>

<p>red card for mastroeni! 10 v 10</p>

<p>Edit:</p>

<p>red card for pope too!</p>

<p>That was an intense game, my favorite of the World Cup so far. I hope the Czechs find a way to get out of this group</p>

<p>That mastroeni red card was ridiculous. His tackle was barely worthy of yellow. It was a good point for the US, but now they have to beat Ghana and hope Italy beats Czech Republic. What a roller coaster of a game though. That offsides on Beasley's goal was so frustrating.</p>

<p>I LOVE THIS FREAKIN GAME!!...anybody else feel the same thing?</p>

<p>I LOVE THIS GAME,TOO!!! But I am cheering on Ghana in the Ghana vs. U.S. game, my parents are from Ghana.</p>

<p>hahaha 3 red cards! the ref was hilarious!!!!!
Ghana vs Czech - Initially i wanted czechs to win so bad (wanted them in the final 4), but ghana deserved the win at the end.</p>

<p>and so we are at Socceroos v Brazil. This will be fast and furious I predict.</p>

<p>as Italia awaits their FIFA punishment. Ugh.</p>

<p>AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE</p>

<p>OI OI OI</p>

<p><em>puts on the war paint</em></p>

<p>AUSSSSSIIIIEEEEEEEEEE</p>

<p>gooooooo socceroos!</p>

<p>YELLOW GREEN</p>

<p>Kick off in ten minutes: Brazil is going to pwn them.</p>

<p>hazmat: verde amarello? boo</p>

<p>I just put that up...........I really just want to see a great game.</p>

<p>omg Aussies are dirty players!!</p>

<p>RONALDO? Is that what you mean? The whale?</p>
