Author: The USA won Group C with a thrilling 1-nil win over Alegria.
Landon Donovan is finally proving he belongs on the world futebol stage.
The Landon Man nailed the match winner in the 91st minute.
The superman in goal Tim Howard set up this goal. Howard blocked a point blank shot. He gobbled up the loose ball. A quick outlet pass by Howard and we were off to the races.
Alegria never knew what hit them.
The USA was off to the races.
Buda bing buda boom the ball is in the back of the Algerian net in a matter moments.
Fast break futebol at its best.
You gotta love it.
Game, set, and match to the USA.
My wife and I stood and cheered at the top of our lungs.
Our neighbors thought we are nuts.
I have the papers to prove I am nuts.
We win the Group and now on to the knockout stage.
The idiot pundits in the USA media have proclaimed Landon Donovan the greatest player in United States history.
NOT!
One brilliant World Cup doesn’t make up for all the times Donovan stunk the joint out.
Read my lips Tim Howard is the only world-class player have.
Time in and time out Howard has saved the USA hide.
Without Howard, we would have lost to England, Alegria, and Slovenia.
Trust me on this.
England finally tickled the twines in a huge 1-0 over Slovenia.
Jermain Defoe saved the English skin when he nailed the match winner in the 23rd minute.
The Aussies defeated Serbia 2-1.
Germany escaped with Ghana 1-0.
After a scoring barrage against a short-handed Australian squad, the Germans have petered out in goal production.
Germany is over rated.
Germany wins Group D.
Ghana and the Aussies tied for second with four points but Ghana had a better goal difference. Ghana was a zero while Australia was a minis three.
In my heart, I would love to see a miracle in South Africa. The USA wins the World Cup. Dreams are great to have.
Do you believe in Miracles?
YES!
1980 Lake Placid, New York.
USA upset the pro Russian hockey team and wins the Gold Medal.
Will this happen again?
If not I want Brasil to win.
I don’t want Argentina to win.
My head tells me that Brasil, Argentina, and Spain are even money to win it all.
The second tier consists of Germany, Netherlands, England, and Portugal.

No wonder ESPN is a joke.

Day three is underway at the World Cup.
Finally, we have victories instead of ties. Red Cards were the order of the day too.
Ghana was in complete control of the match. Sure, Serbia had their chances but in a matter a moments, the match was spun on its ear. A Red Card and handball spelled doom for Serbia.
Ghana defeated Serbia 1-0.
Asamoah Gyan nailed the PK in the 84th minute to lift Ghana to a 1-0 win.
The idiot Serbian defender Zdravko Kuzmamovic punched the ball out the goal area.

Algerian keeper Faouzi Chaouchi blew it. The ball bounced off his hands into the net.
This is Deja vue all over again.
Algerian Abdelkader Ghezzal was given the heave-hoe in the 73rd minute.
So far, there has been lots of crappy play and many surprises.
The teams that I thought would have a great shot at winning the whole shooting match have played like crap.
England tied one all with the USA while Argentina squeaked by Nigeria 1-0.
Both of these sides should have won hands down.
The USA only has one world-class player Tim Howard.
Word has it that he is injured when he suffered a cleat to the chest.
If we loss him our goose is royally cooked.

Klose’s header in the 26th minute ended this puppy right here.
2-0 Germany.
The Aussie’s goose is cooked.
Germany added two more goals by Muller (67th minute) and Cacau (70th minute).
Day three is over and the German’s played the best futebol of the day.
Day four is coming up

The Italians found the answer in the 63rd minute.
Daniele D Rossi directed home a well-placed corner kick to the far right post. Rossi flicked the ball into the back of the net to even this sucker up at one all.
This is a huge tie for Paraguay.
Italy had most of the possessions.
