most amazing game so far. go ghana!!!!! just wow.

i'm really sick of these card happy, non consistent referees.

[I am Reid]

Its only horrible when the United States loses, right.

Amazing game, to say the least. Ghana had, minimum, 7 sure goals and they converted one of them.

I have to say one thing though, Petr Cech showed why he is the best GK in the world.

agreed! that goalie kicked ass!!

and whoa what a game!!

[theyarecomingforyou]

Top play by Ghana... they dominated the game and I think deserved to score even more. Best of luck to them! The referee, despite being very firm, was fair I believe - I thought at some points he was favouring Ghana but as play continued it became very clear that wasn't the case.

My GOD GHANA were awesome....best single game performance by any team in the world cup so far

2-0 for Ghana, and that's the game! I blame the stupid world fifa rankings for this surprising game :p

Anyone have any predictions for the Italy vs USA game? I think it will all depend on the first goal ;)

[sn00pie]

I'm rooting for Italy this World Cup, so I hope they can pull out a victory. :D

3-1 victory to Italy ;)

[Slimy]

All the "experts" on canadian television are saying Italy. I don't know if the USA will win this one but they do need a win much more than Italy does, so they have the motivation. Just like Ghana, if I may make the comparison ;)

[caerma]

Go USA.

**** u italy...

Is that a joke? I'm surprised the US even qualified, let alone above teams like France, Argentina and England. Also, why is Mexico ranked so high? Last time I saw them play they were barely getting anywhere against Angola, one of the apparent "no hopers"! I look forward to the USA vs Ghana match on the 22nd, as the Czech's trashed America (3-0) and Ghana thrashed the Czech's (2-0).

[D!ABOL!C]

Oh yea, it's USA time baby

[Martyn]

1-1 so far.

Cant believe Rossi's elbow on McBride, I have always rated Rossi very highly as a player.

[Slimy]

umm, are you guys watching this? what the hell happened to Italy in those 2 minutes? a self goal and a red card!

[vip]

Wow, US is playing a little better than I expected them to..

[RootWind]

Italy is basically giving this game to the U.S. Of course, the U.S. still needs to take it.

[Redmak Administrators]

10 against 10 now LOL

[Slimy]

looks like it's 10 players vs 10 players again! A red card for th USA this time!!! and it's only been half the game...

edit: beaten by the admin :p

[beardly]

Wow, nice makeup call there.

[vip]

HAHA, even game again.

[I am Reid]

My guess is that america is cheating, since its tied, thats what it usually is isnt it.

Yea, Italy totally haxed when they kicked it in their own net.

[caerma]

that's compensation, it was only for a yellow card...
