Oh well, Argentina was supposed to win last time we met them in the World Cup as well.

England always supposedly has a great team and all they can beat are teams like Ecuador after the group stages.

Spain has never won though they are always supposedly favourites.

As long as we dont have to face Italy, I would say Germany is fine till the finals, which we will loose against Brazil. Like always.

Awesome, some of the videos show that the US football fans live the game with the same intensity as any European fan does

1-0 Slovakia. Great goal. Slovakia look much better than previous games.

They are, but I wouldn't relax. They will lead for 92 minutes and play better than Italy...then someone will take a dive, get a penalty, tie the gameand Italy goes on.

Happens every world cup...

They need 2 goals.

Dramatic finish to the game, but Italy out nonetheless.

Who would have thought? I guess Italy learned that they actually needed to run to score some goals too late
