Well,I very much doubt if many TS'ers are following it, but well done the USA.

Not the best game I've seen but your guys did not let you down.

Hey, one of these days you "Colonials" may realise that "Football" for most people, means "Soccer" and not "Gridiron"

Keep it going and one of these days you guys will be in with a chance of winning the World Cup.

Cup not Series

Touché, Kriss. I'm still hoping the Brits will someday lurn hoa too spel beter.

Then there's all the colloquialisms that we have here in the US.

I thought it was interesting that the courts (in South Africa) want to dictate what people can't wear when they go to the games:

Women arrested at World Cup for suspected ‘ambush’ marketing. And, Housing market sputters in Canada, U.S.

Women arrested for suspected ‘ambush’ marketing
They take their ‘ambush’ marketing seriously at the World Cup. South African police said today they arrested two Dutch women who could be charged in relation to what is suspected to be an ambush marketing campaign by Bavaria, the family-owned Dutch brewer. “These women, who have been part of a larger group, are suspected to be involved in organized acts to conduct unlawful commercial activities during the Denmark-Netherlands match on Monday,” South African police said.

FIFA, soccer’s governing body, questioned a group of more than 30 women in the stands as the Netherlands played Denmark Monday. They were all wearing orange dresses made by Bavaria, which prompted FIFA to began legal action. Budweiser is the official beer of the World Cup.
