Is anyone watching? US managed to end the first game tied with the UK....funny how that worked but I was still impressed with the US team and their ability to actually hold the UK to only 1 goal...good job USA!
Gooooooooooooooooo U-S-A!

Not watching, but I'm enjoying the fact that some of the bars are open at 8am during the event.

^^It's pretty funny because on Friday I noticed on my walk home from work some of the bars were displaying signs that said open and 'serving' at 7am for this Sunday's game....lol....you are right....it's all a money making operation.

Sweden didn't qualify. :( We've been spoiled, having made it to the past five big championships in a row, but this was where that streak ended.

Oh well, two of the African teams have Swedish coaches. Go Nigeria and Côte d'Ivoire! And I can always root for Denmark. (Even if they stole our spot!) So yeah, I'm definitely watching. You North Americans can keep your Super Bowl and NHL - the rest of the world knows which the biggest sport is! ;P

(It's amazing how quickly you get used to the sound of those vuvuzelas.)

I love soccer, and I do like the vuvuzuelas; I got used to them from last summer when the U.S. was in the Confederations Cup in South Africa. Saw the US match. Was hoping South Africa could beat Mexico, loved that the U.S. got a draw with England, and the goalkeeper for Nigeria is brilliant.

Oh, MonaLisa, I'm an Arsenal fan, so I know who Freddie is! :)

So I'm trying to find a TV at work so I can watch the US play in about 2 minutes...and as it figures...there are none around now....is any website streaming the game that we know of? For those that are following the World Cup?

I just watched Serbia beat Germany! Gooo underdogs! First Switzerland beat Spain, now this. Oh, and Mexico beat France. Gotta love it - makes everything more interesting. Now if only one of the African countries could do really well... (Come on Ghana and Ivory Coast!)

I'm sort of torn right now. On the one hand, I think Australia - Ghana could be an interesting game, and I kind of wanted to see it, but can't.

On the other hand, the reason I can't see it is because of the royal wedding taking place here today. You don't get those every day - in fact, it's been about 35 years since the last one, so I didn't get to see it.

Crown Princess Victoria is now married!

I'm so pissed about yesterday's game. The ref was freakin' blind. Offsides is determined at the time of the kick. Well we will just have to beat Algeria on the 23rd. Let's rock it US.

I am in heaven though. Soccer every day. My oldest son (now away in college) and I would get up early on Sunday mornings (6AM) to watch EPL games. I miss him and those moments. Now I get to do it during World Cup with my youngest who just graduated from high school. Now I call that quality time with my kids. Sharing something we both love.

Thank you Days for bringing back Bryan Dattilo as Lucas Horton!
His fans are ecstatic about his return!

The Swedish studio commentators re-played the situation of USA's third goal over and over again, and couldn't find anything to suggest it should've been overruled. If anything, they found multiple incidents that could've caused them to get a penalty kick... So it's not just you.

If England loses against Slovenia - and if they play like they did yesterday, they just might - a draw will be enough for the US. If both matches are draws, it comes down to who scored the most goals, and failing that, I think it's "flip a coin" time. If England and USA both win, once again it's about who scored the most goals.
