Ooooh.... ! have they never heard of hubris? And jinxes? Honestly, I do believe USA is in with a chance against this battered Portugal, but to go out and say things like that... that's just a no-no. :no:
Meanwhile, I think a draw was a fair result in the Germany-Ghana match. Both teams fought to the finish. Quite nerve wracking to watch actually...
Also, Klose... !
When they were bringing him on, I said that they were bringing on the big guns.

For some reasons I would love Klovse to have the title of most goals at WC.Klose 15th WC goals.
I can't stand all the guys named Ronaldo.Very likely now. He was two-time top scorer of WC(2002,2006). Still remember all his headed goals in 2002. I thought they should let him on at the start of the second half.For some reasons I would love Klovse to have the title of most goals at WC.
According to Wikipedia, that's correct. His photo on the page gave me a fright. Check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RonaldoThey just recently said that Ronaldo's last WC goal was in.... 2006? Against Ghana, at that. Is that right? Anyway, go Klose.
I thought I got the wrong page.

I thought the Nigerian goal should have been a foul. 1-0 B-H.

Boateng's brothers playing against each other tonight. Jerome for Germany and Kevin for Ghana. Is this the first time that happened??
No, they played against each other in 2010 for the first time.

I believe there was only one yellow card in the Germany-Ghana match? - and that at the very end? If my recollection is correct, then that is quite remarkable, I think... It must have been a very hard but fair fight then, as I don't remember a lot of occasions where one felt there should have been a card - in fact, I was quite surprised there at the end; I'd almost forgot there was such a thing.
Meanwhile, cards but no goals in the Belgium-Russia match...

i agree. In another match I believe it was one of the TV4 commentators who said that if you missed chances like that (clear chances) that generally displeased the football gods..
Meanwhiile this SVT commentator really should restrain his fondness for declamations and flights of fancy: "And Belgium - the country with three languages - wins three points - " - huh? In fairness he diid go on to say "without impressing", with which I agree.

Hazard is my favourite player at the moment and I wanted him to play the whole match the way he played in the last 10 minutes. I cheer for Belgium, but they need to change their attitude if they want to reach the semi finals or even the final.
