Plus it was their first in a World Cup I believe. Good stuff!

Missed that one but my daughter was raving about that final goal too.

First big upset. Well played Switzerland. Didn't expect that one.

Huge upset by the Swiss.

I'm at work so I missed it but I heard Spain was all over them.

Watching the south Africa game right now and Uruguay just scored a screaming goal. Deflected in but still a nice shot.

Go Australia!!!

I think we are in with a big chance. The way we sucked Germany in with that big loss. Now no one suspects us. The World Cup is ours!!!

The 'Socceroos' are now officially dubbed the 'Suckeroos'....:boohoo:

Somehow, this video replay makes the England-USA game a little easier to bear watching.

Stupid refs! Ah well, at least it was an exciting match.

I went from disappointed, to hopeful, to euphoric, to disappointed again. Better to be disappointed over a draw rather than a loss. :)

I think you have less to be disappointed over than England supporters. That was dire. Well done USA. Best of the group so far.

I've seen similar bad calls, as I saw in today's US v Algeria match, only in Pro Wrestling. WTF!

It was weird wasn't it? A case of pick your Slovenian foul (I counted three, but I wasn't looking that closely) and then give the decision the other way, thereby disallowing a perfectly good goal.
