If anyone wants to give me their WatchESPN password so I can watch the game here at work, that would be all right with me

This has been a pretty fantastic day football wise.
Suarez hit with a relatively decent ban.
Liverpool's deal for Moreno cancelled by Sevilla.
Ander Herrera's United move almost official(Athletic Club have announced his contract is bough out).
Zusi to score a hat trick and finish my day perfectly.

Look at that, Man Utd signing midfielders, what a mad world.....

You do realise we are talking about a professional football player, right?
I know but I'm an incurable optimist.
Jones trying a Chewie there but the refs shoulder made of tougher stuff 
Oh, Go USA!

Uruguay have appealed the decision, hope that leads to an ban extension.
Well played to the US, they didn't give up, some real dangerous play in that last minute.
Then seconds later the other game ends, Portugal winning 2-1 so both Germany and the US are through. Well done!

By the skin of our teeth, the US survives the group of death.
Really disappointed by Brad Davis, and our entire offensive effort for that matter. Bring on the waffles, Belgium. We'll be ready.

Portugal really saved the US there lol Ghana was attacking like mad trying to get that 2-1. And I felt they where going to get it! Then there goalie makes a costly mistake, Portugal can pull back and defend. Ronaldo missed 2 more easy ones too afterwards. 2 good games to watch, glad I set up 2 tv's lol
Well done USA doesn't matter how you get there, just get there!
Not a good game tbh, but achieved the desired results.
I think they have a fair enough shot at Belgium.

No one thought it would be easy and it wasn't. Thank God for Cristiano Ronaldo, I started to breathe again after his goal in the Ghana game.
yes we need more assists from davis I thought Gonz a good add'n agaiinst a bigger bundeswehr but will davis play again
Yeah from the start I thought the 2 winners of this group would have it, dare I say easy? Maybe not easy but come on Algeria, Belgium, Korea, Russia? Not much of any threat unlike some other tougher routes of the tournament.
That's just the way the seedings land (and I certainly wouldn't knock Belgium).
Good to see at least one African team left in after the group stages - it's a not really a World Cup without them. And big congrats to the US for surviving a very, very difficult group.
Despite the England exit, I'm enjoying this tournament more than I have done since 2002 or even before that. This really is the greatest sporting spectacle in the world. I know people love the Olympics, but for me that's diluted too much by the sheer number of (often very "specialist") events going on. Right now, in Brazil, we have most of the world competing in ONE great sport and being watched on every continent.
And no wonder football is getting popular in the US with the tremendous success of their national side - the baseball "World Series" and the Superbowl just cannot provide the same sort of spectacle without the international aspect.
