That ball curls by itself. It's extremely light.
Frings just hit it as hard as he could.

There are only two things I can't stand. One is intolerance of other cultures. The other is the Dutch.

I guess you have never been to the Netherlands. Some of the most friendly people you will ever meet. Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities i have ever seen except for the hookers and heroin parks.

I've been to the Netherlands, and enjoyed Amsterdam.
I guess you haven't seen Austin Powers in Goldmember. It's a quote from that movie by Austin's father Nigel.

Yeahh im not a big fan of those movies. The first one was good but i think they all went down hill after that. Anyways Team USA really needs to win tommorow to establish what they are all about in that group. My prediction
1. Italy-7 pts
2. USA- 6 pts
3. C. Republic- 4pts
4. Ghana- 1 pt.
Hopefully.

Biggest surprise so far has to be T/T's draw with Sweden, though I really think they're a quality side, at least inasmuch as the "chic" upset teams, like the Ivory Coast and Ghana. When you have an experienced keeper and a world class striker, you can stay in games.
I'm really fired up about the US game tomorrow. There seems to have been a lot of public whining about playing the Czechs first, but I think that's absolutely great. Play a good, maybe the best, side in your group first, and then if you get a draw, or even better, a win, you put all freaking kinds of pressure on the other squads...worked like a charm sticking it to Portugal in 2002. Even a draw and an Italian win over Ghana would be more than acceptable tomorrow, and could set the tone for a showdown next Saturday.
If there is one thing I'm worried about, it's actually the goalkeeping. I have nothing but respect for Keller and all the time he has devoted to the US over the years. But I heard some players and people associated with the team say that "Keller is the best goalkeeper in the world"...I have absolutely no idea where they get that from, because his tenure in the EPL was less than perfect, that's for sure. He's playing decent now, but we need him to be huge like my man Friedel was in 2002.

i would like to see Beasley play a little better than he has recently. i think if he can control one side of the field then McBride and Donovan will be able to take care in the scoring department. i really like this team and the potential is there to make it out of the group.

It is not the minivans you have to worry about - it's the hordes of Hell's Grandmas.
Yesterdays games were not really lacking in goals, or opportunities. I was really hoping that Portugal would put up the best showing with two complete halves. Sadly, they only managed one, letting Angola back into the game.
Yep - that's Diego caught red-handed.jlb1705 said:

2-0 late in the first half. A great shot from Rosicky from about 30 years out.
Reyna had a ball go off the inside of the post earlier.
