On paper..no.

But this is the World Cup...as you saw in the Confederations Cup..with a few lucky bounces and a solid game plan..the USA can win. Spain went down...so can England.

I don't expect them to, honestly England is better at every position except GK...but this is why you play the game!

Looking forward to it! Go USA :) !

i think that england might be done in by their overconfidence... without rio ferdinand anchoring the back, i like our chances...

USA has a way of surprising teams that expect to beat them...including England in 1950...but it won't be easy by any means.

So I watched some of South Africa vs. Mexico: with those vuvuzela horns going constantly it sound like the game is being played in a giant beehive.

based on zero research, zero prior football knowledge, and lots of bias, I can say with complete confidence: usa will win.

love it villain. fox news anchors should start every sentence with that line.

Americans kinda suck at soccer so I say no they can't handle the Brits..

they can do it - will they show up is the question (for both teams)?

15 minutes to go and they're not doing too bad

a 1-1 tie everyone's equal yay !!

and what's with all them there air horns in the stands? 90+ minutes of a swarm of bees it's hard to watch with that buzz buzz goings on ..

That goal was a pure gimme by the goalie...but hey, we'll take it....

really frac i turned the sound down. wtf? constant horn blowing. maybe watch the f'ing game.

On the vuvezela:

"Why can't South Africans enjoy soccer like normal folks—with racist songs and flare guns!"

The horns weren't as big a problem at our house as were the subtitles which we tend to leave on when watching Movies. The little black box with white letters was floating almost mid screen, so it did block out alot of activity durning the game. We tried to turn it off but for some odd reason it just wouldn't turn off. So the Mrs.....will be looking into it before the Brazil game. No way can we watch it with those Brazilian players being blocked out. If we can't get it fixed then I guess were going to go to a Brazilian Bar and watch the game. Which she will enjoy because she understands everyone, me on the otherhand all I will hear is the buzz and Brazilians shouting....!
