In that case, i'll give you a play by play. Ball being kicked one way, oh ball being kicked another way. Guy fell, free kick US. BTW US just missed a goal a minute ago.

Good second half by the US team. They balanced things out pretty effectively, and still managed to piss away a few clear goal opportunities. Things are pretty much 50-50 with overtime right upon us.

 No. There will be 2 15 minute halfs. If a tie persists until OT is over, then there will be a PK shootout.

Ok good game, overtime kind of sucked since Ghana scored so fast and they just played save the rest of the time. Nice to see a team from Africa still be in it. Ok back to wii. Later Fedor!

Ah, what an exciting match. Good play by both teams, too bad the US had to lose, but they fought bravely. They can get back home proud.

They tried this once. It was called a golden goal. If you score in the overtime, the game is stopped and the game is over. It sounded good in theory, but it did not work in practice. No one dared to attack, because one mistake and it was over.

Then they tried the silver goal concept. If you are ahead in the overtime in the first half the game is stopped and you win, kinda retarded and it was dropped too. So we are back at square one, the best system they have, 2 time overtime and then the nerve wrecking penalties.

 Yes, and we need video tools for referee's. You know that, I know that, Steel wants it bad, but Fifa wants none of it. Fucking corrupt

Great match. Fantastic goal by Gyan, too. Deserved the win.

Uruguay v South Korea was good too.

Shit it's all happening.  England back into it.  2 - 1.  Then another clear goal by Lampard (ball went in by over a foot of distance) somehow no given.

Amazing game
