I bet he threw up a little in his mouth right about that time.

That was ridiculous!
On the other hand the US didn't play bad. The goal itself was a freebie but the point is totally earned. Looking forward to Germany today. I wonder how the new goalie will be playing, he has a reputation of getting many goals too.
Also, did anyone notice how the Vuvuzelas blended in with the bagpipes to sound like a piece by the Starving Weirdos? From now on every football game should have a drone band playing.

Would love to have seen the tabloids in the UK today -

Gotta say go Australia tonight against Germany - though with Ballack gone they're a little harder to hate

This is what makes soccer so farcical and unwatchable to the average American:
1. Player One slide-tackles Player Two, making minor leg-to-leg contact
2. Player Two goes limp and crumples to the turf in a near-perfect (and no doubt well-rehearsed) re-enactment of Frame 323 of the Zapruder film
3. Player Two grabs his calf/shin/ankle and makes a grimacing face as though he is attempting to defecate a shattered beer bottle
4. Player One throws up his arms, gesturing a combination of "I'm innocent" and "This man is an enormous vagina" to the crowd, followed by "Surely you aren't buying this horseshit" to the ref (who is always from a neutral yet vaguely dislikeable country, usually Argentina)
5. A team of doctors rush over to Player Two with a stretcher, neck brace, donor kidney, gas cromatograph, and the Jaws of Life.
6. After carrying Player Two off the field on said stretcher, he waits until the crowd's attention is diverted back to the game before getting up, walking it off for about 10 feet, and then "heroically" re-joining the action moments after his near-crippling injury.

Hahaha. They use to have the "magic sponge", which would take care of anything from a broken leg to a concussion. Then they were somehow able to bottle that magic in spray form. I haven't seen much of that miraculous healing power happing this tournament. Perhaps they realized that that the "magic" was cancer causing.

With Müller and Özil they have suddenly become lovable.
And yeah, Fuck Ballack. And Schweinsteiger along with him. Even though he has made a good game tonight. Pity that the referee was so awful. That red card was completely unnecessary.
Now hopefully Portugal makes an awesome game too and I will be happy!

That sums up soccer.

If all soccer players were in drag, I'd totally watch it.

I'd watch women’s soccer if they took their tops off after scoring.
One day if you are all good little boys and girls, I’ll tell you about my adventures with drag queens and the stripper who watched soccer.

Sadness reigns in the portuguese part of my heart.
