I'm glad the US- Ukraine game is back on! I was ready to blame Putin for that one!! Also I'm also looking forward to that Italy- Spain game at 4pm EST on ESPN2
All South Americans are laying an egg today minus Brazil. I saw Australia had scored a PK and was fearing it was Erazo who gave it up. It turns out that he's on the bench today.
just seems that Argentina can only play with fast counters, that's really bad for their group stage matches or to play against Germany or Brazil, which can pressure but have quick defenses to get back. Spain probably can dominate Argentina but I fear for Spain's Defense if they can get back quickly with a counter by Higuain, Messi and Kun.
Messi has to start getting used to this type of defending against him, it was the same on his last WC, he touches the ball and 3 collapse on him. France 2 x 0 Holland.. Romenia GK made an spectacular save
I want to watch Spain vs. Italy - they were the last two World Cup champions and the 2012 Euro finalists. I got several glimpses of Romania vs. Argentina. The Romanians are showing hustle and have not been inferior at all - in fact I'd say they've been the better side. If this is the best Argentina brings to Brazil, they will not win it. And as Guigs said, Brazil and Germany will give them problems. Anybody notice Messi puked again?
Portugal v Cameroon soon =D Romania already has their B squad in there, they used up all subs. going to change the game soon.
Second half has been one sided, Romania made tons of subs, Argentina going for their first sub now. Bad showing for the Argies
Well, they did draw Portugal and Germany. I think this is going to be a nightmarish World Cup for Team USA.
Spain's uniform - black shorts and jersey with neon-like yellow tones - make the players look like they're straight out of Tron.
If they beat Ghana it'll be considered positive (unless they embarass themselves in the other games), if they don't... it'll be 3 WCs in a row where they're eliminated by the same team. I can't see them recovering after losing to Ghana, even if it weren't Portugal and Germany next, just because it will be so deflating if it happens.
