I'm kinda interested in the North Koreans
Did you hear their "fans" in the stands all decked out in NK gear were not Koreans at all, but Chinese "volunteers" brought in to play the part of NK fans? -->LINK TO STORY


In other news, the Swiss upset Spain.

BWAHAHA! :D

For the record, my hatred of the Mexican soccer team has nothing to do with Mexicans (whom I genuinely like) or immigration. I root against them because at a US/Mex match right after 9/11 the Mexican fans started chanting "Osama, Osama!"

The US got robbed! The officiating overall was horrible, but the US got robbed on a goal on a bogus offsides call...one of our players was being bear-hugged in the penalty box right in front of the ref. It should have been a goal at best, a penalty kick at worst.

What a comeback buy the US though! Too bad they can't start the game down 0-2 just to make them play harder. LOL Hats off to the Slovenes, they played with heart and gave us their best shot. They played a little rough, but I understand that in a big game you have to go all out. I just hope they saved some of that fire for England.

Speaking of Three Lions, the mediocrity continues. Could it be, as Alexi Lalas suggested, that despite their individual skill, they just aren't that good as a team?

who is showing all the games in the US, ESPN or ESPN2?, are they using American commentators?. All the games are on here on CBC but the feed is from BBC... I love the British commentating


The US/ England game was watched by 1.2 million a new record for soccer in Canada. in comparison Stanley Cup finals avg 4.4 million........ but I want the British to call the NHL games also

The games are on ABC/ESPN/ESPN2 depending upon how big of an audience they think it will draw. USA/England was on ABC, USA/Slovakia was on ESPN, England/Nigeria was on ESPN2. ESPN has hired mostly British play by play guys with color commentary done by American, Scottish, Irish, English, etc. former players.

On a separate note, where is Ger? He should be all over this thread! :P
