    Go Costa Rica, great 1st half! Good to see CONCACAF doing so well in the tournament (although I'll never cheer for Mexico). And I'm always happy to see Italy go down. That goal was karma since they should have been awared a penalty just minutes before.

    How about the guy on Uruguay getting kneed in the head and pretty much knocked out cold yesterday going right back in the game?? Does FIFA have any rules concerning concussions/head injuries?? That was ridiculous yesterday.

    I think that was an accident
    Definitely an accident, but I think Indifference was wondering about concussion protocol. He defnitely wouldn't have been allowed back in the game if it was MLS, NCAA, high school or youth club soccer. Hell, he wouldn't have gone back in if he were an NFL player. We are very strict about protocol these days. He was knocked silly. But he seemed to recover quickly. He clearly didn't want to miss a minute of World Cup play.


    Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. The guy was laying on the ground looking unconscious and yet he goes back into the game a few minutes later??? Insane.

    Australia
    Spain
    England

    Things really fell apart quickly there for the Swiss. That 2nd goal is completely on the goalie...you gotta make that save.

    :)) Aussies shouldn't even be here. Dodged a play in Vs European team by somehow becoming Asian.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    Oh fuck yes. Game day. Yesterday's result certainly did the US no favors but just fucking win it today and get through. Feel like they will be in a much better mindset playing for a win rather than a tie against what seems to be a beatable team. Gotta test the keeper and back line. Will be tough without Jozy. Never thought I would say this but Hoping they go with wondo over johanasson.

    Didn't see the game yesterday but the result definitely makes the US game all the more impressive.

    Fucking do it!!! Fuck Christina
