I also just discovered that I can add all of the USA's games (or any team) straight onto my google calendar. Sweet.

I've had the Three Lions song going through my head for days now. I'm a huge England fan (and Chelsea, more specifically, what of it?) and my friends are calling me a traitor for cheering for them tomorrow.

My cheap cable package has no sports channel.

Crap.

Some weekend matches, like US vs. England tomorrow, are on ABC.

Yeah, and ESPN was streaming the SA/Mexico match and this afternoon's match. I fail at seeing that the USA plays tomorrow and not today AFAIK. *facepalm*

Also I'm enjoying the Vuvuzelas on TV but I think if I were there I'd break them all or run screaming into the night.

Watching the Uruguay/France game, the Vuvuzelas are driving me CRAZY! If it wasn't for the commentators I'd put it on mute (we don't have closed captioning on our tv).

They kind of zone into the background for me after a while.

I would like them to have some way to tell me which team is which when I come in the middle and I can't tell which team's in which jersey.

If I watch long enough I figure it out but I'm needy.

Half of my ancestral homelands (and there are a lot) didn't even qualify, and this time I'm not really feeling England. I'm really interested in some of the underdogs, even if they don't really have much of a chance: New Zealand, Slovakia, Slovenia, Honduras, and especially Denmark. Go, Jon Dahl Tomasson!

Darn right.

I'm Slovenian and super pumped they won this morning! It was their first world cup win ever!

The game on Friday against the US should be exciting!

I also was excited for the tie against England! That was great.

You're in the clear as long as the US advances with them

I'm rooting for that!

But we both could advance to the round of 16. No England--that would be wonderful.

Man, I used to be such an Anglophile, too, but my main forum is an English-based soccer forum. The discussion there is actually pretty intelligent, but the occasional casual anti-Americanism really bugs me.

Yes, please! This is what I'm hoping for.
