Wasn't expecting that from the Dutch.

Looking forward to seeing how Belgium can do as well.


And of course, Go Yanks!

The Big Orange!  My 11-year already told me she's wearing her orange "Netherlands" t-shirt tomorrow.

Costa Rica played outstanding. Think this will raise the respect level of CONCACAF? Nah

It's all about the yanks, and always will be.  Leave for Manaus on Thursday.  Can't wait.

And Mexico.  But agree, unless they make a semi or something, the Central American countries are just there.

Been fascinating to see how each and every country (except Honduras) has made a real commitment from the start to be positive and look to bring game to their opponent. I'm curious to see if the USA looks to follow this lead. Words are wonderful but the players will truly have been watching, and truly been listening to JK, if they shed the cautiousness immediately.

Outside of #7 punching a ref or a German, that probably could not have gone better for the US. Gotta take control with a win over Ghana. Interesting roster moves by Ghana today - playing defensive, giving up possession for ridiculous counter/speed.

Trying to play fast and on the counter might backfire if the conditions are as wet as they expect.

Huge opportunity for the US. Can almost put one foot in the round of 32 with a win.

I try so hard. Grandest worldwide sporting event, multiple games every day just like the NCAAs, US involvement, etc., etc.

But I just can't get into it. I am bored!!

Is it me or is it soccer?

In general, soccer is boring. Just like swimming is boring, just like track events are boring to watch.

But if its the Olympics or the World Cup, I'll watch. The level of the competition and the world stage makes it exciting.

I'm sure you are right.

I'm not a huge hockey fan, but watch the playoffs all the time and love it. Just can't get with soccer.

As kids, we played baseball or hoops everyday in the summer, but the only time we ever played soccer was on a Sunday afternoon to go along with having a few brews. It was never a "real" sport.

Probably just a generational thing.

I'm the same way. I'd never attend a swim meet but have no problem watching it in the Olympics.

I'll try again with the game tonite.

It'll be different tonight. Tonight you are cheering for the United States of America.

If you can't get into tonight's game, you're a freedom hating communist.

Oh man. Brain fart.

What a smash and grab tonight. They were a bit rudderless, with Bradley having a nightmare, and no target man with Altidore out.

If Jozy is unable to return, can they bring in a sub for his roster spot?

No. Roster is what it is for every team at this point. Luckily, Portugal is decimated and out of sorts as well
