    Come on you Orangeses!

  6. Improbus says:

    Yep, I am firmly in the “who gives a frak” camp.

  7. GigG says:

    The best thing about the US being out of the World Cup is that we can go four more years not caring about soccer.

    Where’s the option that says “I don’t fucking care”?

    Faulty data collecting = faulty data.

    It seems most of our readers are not sports fans. Maybe we should do a poll!!

    I grew up in St. Louis in the 60′s…soccer was a popular sport, Moved to the south and they had never heard of it. Had to switch to playing football. Had fun playing both really.

    But soccer was more physically demanding. Just sayin’.

    Melo is throwing this game! The fix is in!

  13. fulanoche says:

    Quite the surprise.

    2-1 Netherlands

  14. Eideard says:

    6:4 ain’t exactly overwhelming odds. No surprise to many who have watched the run-up to the match.

    Well done for the Netherlands.

  15. qb says:

    Go Ghana

  16. Go Brazil! Not! says:

    Go Netherlands!

  17. chris says:

    The game can’t tie, it is an elimination game.

    Brazil has some of the hottest girls anywhere; they win every time.

  18. LDA says:

    I was wrong.

  19. Maricopa says:

    Tie – Brazil
    Tie – Netherlands

    Wanna explain the difference?
    Actually, don’t bother. I’m seriously too apathetic to check back on this thread.
