    Oh man, I only caught the last 15 minutes of the game, but that save on Thiago Silva's header was unreal.
    I was at work pretending to work while using the watchespn app on my phone. Gotta love technology.

    That's what I was doing last week, but today I was stuck in meetings that I had to pay attention to.

    Terrible lapse of judgement on them letting NED score, but holy crap that Cahill goal a minute after!

    AUS 2-2 NED at 58 minutes ... what a game. best one i have had the opportunity to watch so far this tournament.

    I'm not happy about NED's 3rd goal. I just wanted an upset I guess. Great game though you're right.

    They're -6 that's terrible. I'm ashamed honestly. Still love them though. Might be an interesting game against Australia

    Short World Cup for defending champs. Spain looked terrible. Watching CMR vs CRO and couldn't believe what that CMR player was thinking throwing an elbow into the back

    Really Argentina? An entire half of not scoring against IRAN.

    Holy *** that injury time Messi goal... Iran played REALLY well I think but you have to stop Messi the whole damn time, no breaks.

    Sam beat me to the punch there. I really thought Iran was going to pull off the impossible.

    Until Klose and Schweinsteiger came on I thought Germany was toast. Man, I can't wait for the US game tomorrow! We've gone from "I hope we can make it out of the group" to "Holy crap, we could win the group!"

    Oh snap. I'll take it.

    Yeah, still a good chance we get out of the group. It was painful right at the end. Sitting there and getting ready to celebrate, then Ronaldo sails that ball across and I lean back holding my breath begging for someone to get a head on it or something. Then whoosh, I was punched in the gut and just exhale in exasperation. Can't believe Bradley gave up that ball in midfield. Thought he played with some real field awareness most of the game. Botched a couple of passes by not putting enough pace on them, but showed some flare and set up some other guys on runs. Really disappointed in those last seconds, but that doesn't take away the fact that we looked much better than in the previous game. I'm feeling better about what we might accomplish.

    Jones' goal was an absolute beauty, but man, in the bar I was at we were all out of our seats when that last cross went in and just deflated. Guys played really well, especially Fabian Johnson, that kid tore up the Portuguese. Thursday's games should be awesome, everyone needs a result.

    Sad I missed the end of the game. I could only watch up to our first goal before my soccer playoffs started. Not that it matters but we won the championship...

    Everyone's focused on the end of this game. For me, they lost the game by switching strategy after they took the lead. I can see doing this if you're the favorite, but turtling up and playing defense with a flimsy lead is death if you're the underdog. You fought all game to win and now you're leaving it up to a wing and a prayer? Terrible, terrible coaching, and the worst was the strategy was praised by the announcers.
