I wish Canada had a team that could compete. The one and only time we made an appearance at the World Cup was 20 years ago. It sucks not being able to join in on the world's biggest sporting event. <Jumping on England's bandwagon>.
I was expecting the USA to lose 1-0, but they didn't even show up. This team had a golden opportunity to pick up the casual fan in this country and they blew it. I think they can beat Ghana and will hopefully tie Italy, but I don't see them advancing to the next round, and if so, they'll lose in the Round of 16.
I'm loving the Netherlands and their one touch play, although it only resulted in one goal. I wish Robben didn't play for Chelsea or I'd like him more.
I still think England needs to step their game up if they're going to advance far into the tournament.
I agree, there was too much hype surrounded around this team, it's like that they forgot that this is PROJECT 2010....and that we're not expected to do well this time around.
My three teams are The USA, England and Holland, and the latter two are doing well (and have advanced to the next round) but could and SHOULD be playing MUCH better than that.
