I like their keeper he looked really good agianst argentina and as a former goalkeeper I appreciate good goalkeeping. Of course he made a huge mistake on that free kick so now they're pretty much out now as are greece. And yeah it's partially the africa connection and the rooting for underdogs thing.

Well it would be nice if one of the African nations made it through.
I think this is the only team outside of Ghana that even had a realistic shot anymore, right? And Ghana's no sure thing; they could very well lose out to Serbia, who they beat.

oh man not over yet nigeria ties it up and now argentina is finally ahead. If nigeria can get one more goal they're through. Greece is pretty much done now.

That South Korea-Nigeria game was a real doozy. Lots of chances on both ends, and some great drama at the end. It was the total opposite of the Argentina-Greece snoozefest.

I wanted to see the Mexicans crying in ESPN Deportes' Futbol Picante. They go from Chicken Littles to World Champions from game to game, depending on the outcome. After losing today and qualifying but to face Argentina, they don't know what to do.

Is there a reason you're rooting for Nigeria? Just because the WC is on the same continent or some other reason? I was rooting for my brackets. I had Nigeria at #2B facing #1A Uruguay. We should have had a Hoyatalk WC Bracketology. We'll do in 2014...

I predict a win over Algeria. US team is just beginning to realize how talented they are. THey are gaining confidence. That disallowed third goal is helping to pull the team together, and all their fans too. The second half vs. Slovenia was incredible.
GO USA!!

As hilarious as it is to watch Maradona go bonkers when they score a goal, for some reason I think it would be funnier to watch him react to his team losing. I don't know whether to root for them or against them, but I sure hope we don't have to play them.

I want to see the USA forwards score. Altidore is due. That'd be the Jozy and Herculez Show today. Two changes* from the Slovenia lineup: Gomez in for the suspended Robbie Findley, and Jonathan Bornstein on the back line with Bocanegra shifting into the center of defense to replace Gooch. (*I guess three changes, with Maurice Edu starting instead of Torres...guess with all that fuss about Edu's "goal" last time, I forgot he came on as a sub.)

I'm very surprised about Bornstein. He better be sharp today.

Oh, hey, look, another questionable call disallowing a U.S. goal. Sweet.
