Sepp Blatter on the pitch here trying to make a Hitler-like speech.

Good to see America in there as it hopefully means this tournament will be televised over here

All games are on espn and espn2, just like the Euros. I don't even think they are shipping any to that shitty channel espn classic. So you're good if you have basic cable. Unfortunately Mo Edu is out, and Beasley is, from what I've read on our forums, gone this summer so you guys won't have too much of a vested interested in us yanks for the first time in a while.

Just realised that today Off to watch South Africa and Iraq the now then the Spain v New Zealand later

What the FUCK kind of formation was that they had up for Iraq there? :lol:

4-2-3-1 with no centre mids.

I only remember 2 shots the whole first half. Did anyone else notice how accurate the South African keepers kicks are ?

[Amac9 2,060]

Only caught the last 5 minutes of the half.

Looking forward to the Spain game later

That line block was the most bizarre thing i've ever seen in my life.

[chris_glasgow 2]

[keithgersbear 3,225]

Most exciting thing that went on in that game was the block on the line from a south african header, blocked by a south african in the 85+ minute.

[NOLUWDC 1]

Spain match kicks off at 19:45 I think, that or 19:30. Iniesta and Senna are both injured.
