Brasil v Portugal is the worst game yet.  Both teams are through and they are just tamely passing the ball around as if they couldn't care less ... which is just how they feel.

If I'd payed for a ticket to see that I'd be very pissed off.

That was an embarassment.

Thank God games are played at the same time or after Spain's first gaol they would've managed to out to Brazil v Portugal. :X

In just 15 minutes the US will defeat Ghana and show just what a nation raised on Big Macs is capable of, even in a sport that is generally laughed at by 80% of its population.

my heart is torn.  my two favourite teams are facing each other so soon into the tournament.  this should have been the final Sad

by the way both teams played in the group stages, the US is the better team and has the strongest chance of doing better in the next games ... so i guess ... Go Team USA

Ghana better in the first half.  1 - 0 up.  one of the best goals of the tournament yet.

hope the US can come back into this.  they usually play better with backs to the wall

If you really think this is boring, you need to have your brain examined.

The same 80% that thinks evolution is a hoax, the world is 5000 years old and the earth is actually flat.

It's called passing, you have the same thing in Hockey, basketball and even in handegg.

It is far more exciting in those sports as they go along with plays, usually some scoring, you know something different than the same thing over and over again.

Spread across a ton of different stations around the world, unlike football which is just one. It ends up as the same thing.

It's more difficult to score in football.

If you can't see the beauty of the way Ghana is playing, the way they are passing the ball around, making foolz out of team USA, then you are behind help. Go watch handegg and leave the people with a functioning taste center in peace.

Awww poor baby having a temper tantrum. Someone doesn't like your sport, wahhhhhh wahhhh! Sorry if I like a sport with a bit more complexity.

And yes I could see how Ghana was controling the ball better than the US, I have eyes. And I can see that the US is already playing better at the start of this half.

 I am not forcing you to watch the sport. If you find it boring don't watch and go watch handegg. Either watch it or don't. But obviously you care about football, because otherwise you would not be here telling us that it is boring. And yes America is playing better this half, how about you shut up and support your team for once?!

I am supporting my team by watching this. I made a comment, you decided to start something with me. I like sports, I watch strange olympic sports during the olympics I never would watch cause its an important event.

Oh snap something is happening...

Anyway I am not saying I hate this, I simply said this was boring. I am watching a sport I normally would never watch.


Ohhhhhhh here we go, this is awesome!!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEST SPORT EVER!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!
