Fantastic display of belief by the Iranian side. Definitely deserved much more than a loss. I dare say they did more to win than Argentina...

Argentina to me looks like Brazil. A couple of individual references but not really a team capable of going to the end and winning it all. Let's wait and see...

 

[Zado]

Yeah,Argentina is Brazil MK II....nothing great,not as great as you could expect from them.

Ghana seems to be crazy good.

 

[Santuzzo]

the 2-2 was well deserved, Ghana also could have won this.
Fortunately Klose came in to score the 2-2....whew....

Wow!! Ghana vs Germany was an amazing game!
Ghana had chances to go 3-1 up in that and probably
win it. Best game of the tournament for me so far. All
4 teams can still qualify. If USA manage to beat Portugal
tomorrow they will be the first team to go through from
the group.

Definitely not EU best year I wonder if the weather has something to do with this...they better announce one of the next WC to take place in Finland

Let's hope not...

I miss all of the games today... although I was walking down St. Laurent street today and there was what looked like a celebratory riot of Argentinians joined for like five minutes even though I don't really care that they won it was super fun. I love the football spirit haha.

I kept getting notifications about the Germany and Ghana match and I could hardly believe it. It's good to hear that Ghana are managing such great matches!

Yeah that was a great match. Full game here:

I was hoping for Germany to win, but I have to say Ghana was maybe the stronger team and would have deserved to win this.

 

[IbanezDaemon]

Belgium vs Russia. Sigh....there's a few hours of my life
I'll never get back. Awful match.

Work finally slowed down and saw the score for Algeria vs Korea... go Algeria!

 

[Centrix]

Good luck to all my fellow Americans around here! May the best win

 

[bouVIP]

I want the USA to do well but I also want Ronaldo to get back in to form and dominate....

 

[Zado]

Thank you Algeria,so much

Anybody else watching the games on cbc.ca? What happened to their commentators? There's only one of them today, and he's dull by himself. A good chunk of the football experience is a contagious commentator (especially when you're watching by yourself), and that's usually accomplished with two of them discussing the match.

EDIT: holy shit, the US goalkeeper is GOOD.

 

[Santuzzo]

Even though it's 1-0 for Portugal, in my opinion the US is stronger at this point

Yeah, no doubt. We are clearly lacking in physical form...

And damn, the US players have a nice mid-range Shot...

 

[IbanezDaemon]

Wow!! What a goal by Jones. 1-1.

 

[Santuzzo]

Wow!!! 1-1 well deserved!

EDIT: Howard is amazing!

 

[Alberto7]

Yep. Yep, they do. That was an awesome goal, even if it was quite silly on the goalkeeper's part. He totally did not see that one coming.
