Now Eddie Pope, one of the few soccer players I know by name, is gone for the entire second half to a red card.

This game will never make it in America on a commerical level with rules like that.

nah ghana shot their wad today. They scored early and the Czech's just kinda fell apart then they were a man down for a good portion of the match. Hopefully the US can beat ghana and I'm pretty sure italy will beat czech. They have to be embarrased the way they played today against the US. I thought Donovan played really well today.

Awesome performance from Ghana!

It was Ghana vs. the best goalie in the world. Ghana won.

that doesn't impress me about the czechs
the US played the entire second half a man down to Italy and kept their poise

They don't deserve to go to the quarter finals (nor do the English)

So a red card means you're out for the rest of the game AND the next game? Eddie Pope makes the World Cup team and has to miss 1.5 games for a late slide tackle?

US is lucky to have even a shot of getting out of round 1 though.
