***USA v Portugal, The Offical Match thread***

[Blackadder]

2-1 to USA. I am really crap at the vbookie thing. Oh well.

 

[Ernest]

Portugal are a shambles, Ronaldo doesn't give a toss, makes our effort seem a little better

 

[Blackadder]

Americans now better at football than England

Iran are better at football than England. We are down there with little ol' Spain. (edit: and Portugal)

 

[Luke93]

Usa, usa, usa!!

 

[TomandJerry]

Bye bye Portugal

 

[pornomagboy]

Ronaldo is like that kid at school playing football and stuck in a team roll of crap footballers

 

[TomandJerry]

Oh what a goal 2-2

 

[carteater]

WOW!! I love this world cup its great

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

2-2 What a roller coaster

 

[Deleted member 18477]

What a cross from Ronaldo!!

Portugal are still pretty much out though... -4 goal difference...

 

[Bedsex]

USA gave that away at the end, should've held on for the win.

 

[collins91]

you got to b kidding me 95th min

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Phil Neville is just being bullied by Friedel, Hansen and Lineker

 

[1066familyman]

What a finish!

Anything that shuts that bloody "U S A, U S A..." chanting up is alright by me. Fair play to their team though, a win tonight would not have been undeserved.

The US threw that one away. All they needed to do was keep the ball and they just bottled it at the end. Bet their manager is livid!

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Ronaldo at the end: Took off his captains armband and straight up the tunnel without shaking hands with any USA players. Classless tw@t.

I loves The Daily Show - with John Stewart.
Last week they were recording at the time of the Ghana game.

JS looking sheepish and smirky (therefore there's clearly a gag coming) opens with '6-0 to America', followed by 'I don't actually know they are playing now'.

He didn't get time for the follow up, because half the audience had erupted into USA USA USA.

I guess that's the price you pay for not playing international sport and being bullish about your international standing.
Bless.

He's just a WINNER. Doesn't like not winning.

We could do with a few more WINNERS in our team.

 

[Machiavelli]

Another amazing game. I really hope the teams can sustain this standard. So far, it's easily the best World Cup I've witnessed since 1982, and probably better than that.

Exactly. CR7 just looks like he should be a cock, but he really isn't in reality. Biggest cock of the World Cup so far is Lionel Messi. He has a reputation for being a football genius but an absolute tosser in private with his conduct, and on this evidence both reputations are well deserved - two magnificent goals but ignoring that little kid in the tunnel was shameful.

This. Great goals, massive crowds, and the standard of the "also rans" just continues to climb.
