And the building goes crazy!

Wow is right. I'd like to hear from anyone who says soccer is boring because of the low scoring, but watched this game anyway. Still think it's boring? If you do, then there's no hope.

You guys got robber the last game but see how that's turned around now.

That's the magic of Soccer.

Australia vs Serbia in two hours. We have to win to advance.

When the TV announcers are forced to show highlights/clips from something that happened 9 minutes earlier....then yes. It is slow and boring.

I went to World Cup back in '06, and it was fun. Watching on TV? not so much. Golf is more interesting to watch on TV

The reason it took 9 minutes before they could show a replay was because there was no break in the action. That's boring?

My business partner just came in after watching the game, and said, "Oh my God, that was soooo boring." He thinks I'm crazy.

No...it's because they were arbitrarily volleying the ball back and forth. It was hardly "action packed." Like I said...it's one thing to be there. It sucks on TV.

Germany to win by 3...Australia to also win by 3...then we get Germany with 7+ total goals, 0+ goal differential, 6 points and Australia with 4+ total goals, -1+ goal differential, and 4 points. That puts them in 1-2 slots, with Germany taking the round.

I haven't seen the game yet.
I was planning to watch it later but somehow I seriously doubt that I will find it as exciting as you did, after all I NOW KNOW THE FINAL OUTCOME OF THE GAME!

Very nice.

Moderators, any chance you can add the words "WORLD CUP SPOILER" to the title of this thread?
