US vs. Italy
Harddrive sits in his home waiting in anticipation of the US v. Italy game to start, along with dozens of his countrymen.

That card was def a makeup call. The refs are ruining the game, and the next game for the teams when they move on.
 At least the game itself has been exciting.

Well, so much for the USA's hopes of World Cup glory. I can still root for Portugal who advanced today and Ghana who beat Czech Republic today. It's fun to root for the Old Country and an underdog.

Especially after the first couple game so far. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the first round shakes out.

None taken... I'm not a huge soccer fan as stated above, just love sport. Next round should really winnow the chaff.

I for one am so very fed up and disgusted with the tactic of diving. I have always enjoyed soccer, played alot as a kid and in school. But watching these international matches just pi$$es me off so much I lose some of the joy in the game.
And yes the second red card for us was such a load. I'm looking forward to the Ghana match. I think our guys played Italy rather well. If not for the ONLY offside we committed the match would have been ours.

I can deal with the "diving", it's been a part of the game for a long time. My gripe with this match was the terrible officiating. It was really quite awful.
