Yup, I found that out today too. My early game is at 7:30 instead of 10:30.
Looks like I'll be getting up early for the next 2 weeks.

Many people wait for a Spain vs Brasil final

I support France, as usual

Pretty sloppy play on both sides. Could have easily been 2-1 or 3-1 for both USA or England.
I will happily take the 1-1 draw though.

I don't know what they're saying in England, but this USA vs England match is getting more and more heated as it arrives. I guess with the whole BP crisis here and them being a British company, and then UK is blaming Obama Administration that they aren't doing enough is creating for a bigger match than anticipated.

The sports writers here think it's great though. They say we have nothing to lose because soccer isn't even close to our #1 sport, where in England it means almost everything to them. So we have the underdog role and the nothing-to-lose role. Honestly I don't think our team is that bad. We did well in the CONCACAF Cup last year (although that's not saying much, the only decent teams in there are Mexico, Canada, and Brazil besides the U.S.) We'll see, should be interesting tomorrow.

And Spain... pretty sure USA are the last team to beat Spain and it was in that competition.

I'm not sure the build up was the same here as over there, was more just about the fact it was our first game and we usually bottle it. Personally I wouldn't have been able to stand the gloating on here if you'd beaten us . Fair play to your fans, the only fans other than the English so far where I heard any sort of song/chant above those ****ing horns; pity it was "USA USA USA" as I want to join in with it.

vuvuzelan sounds like bi swarm they are brilliant

[Crimson Shadow]

They are brilliant, for about the first 10 minutes.
I just hate that noone stops blowing them for the entire 90 minutes in every single match.

Yeah I expected a bunch of Sam's Army supporters there singing their usual chants during our matches. I also agree the horns are annoying, . And I'm happy with a draw, I still believe England is a better team on paper so I'll take it. Also I thought the CONCACAF Cup was just North America and South American teams... maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Finally the World Cup has been kick started. Please will everyone ignore my post saying Germany may struggle to score goals...

I think that red card was a joke though and completely stopped the game as a contest.
