 Today is the big day for the Americans. Just under nine hours now to match start. We need a win versus Algeria, or a tie and hope for help from the Slovenians in the form of a tie or victory over the English.

Our previous match, versus Slovenia, was ridiculous. We went down 2-0, then came back even at 2-2, and finally scored the apparent match winner putting us up 3-2. But for some reason known only to the referee, the goal was disallowed.

We tied the Slovenians, two goals for each side.

Anyway, I'm hesitant to pick scores for the two big matches tomorrow. I have a feeling we'll pull it off this time, unlike four years ago versus Ghana.

GO USA, USA, USA, USA!!!!

I'm all in favor of instant replay for critical calls. Especially in the game of soccer where each goal is too important.

I have a feeling that we'll win tomorrow also. Lets hope that we're right, otherwise I'll lose all the motivation to wake up early to watch the world cup.

USA...USA.....USA.....USA....USA

What a finish!!! They had me almost give up watching soccer.

Fate has it again, we'll be facing Ghana in the round of 16 tomorrow!!! I can't wait.

Now I kind of understand how you feel when UT loses in football =(

Yep. Yet another 2-1 loss to Ghana. I feel that had Charlie Davies been healthy we would have defeated Ghana rather easily. Uruguay would have been a real test, and a USA victory probably wouldn't have come. The good news is we should have a better team for World Cup 2014.

World Cup 2014 qualification will begin next year. Certainly not as entertaining as the World Cup, but at least it's something.

World Cup 2014 will be in Brazil. World Cup 2018 may be in the USA (knock on wood).
