Spain, whose defense has been steadfast in leading it to consecutive European Championships along with its World Cup win in South Africa, was left in disbelief after the country's worst competitive defeat in 64 years.

Columbia trounces Greece..........

Previous World Cups showed that South American teams did very well in their continent.

Today match between England and Italy at 6:00 PM EDT will be good.

Saturday, June 14

11:30 a.m. - Colombia vs. Greece, ABC
2:30 p.m. - Uruguay vs. Costa Rica, ABC
5:30 p.m. - England vs. Italy, ESPN
8:30 p.m. - Ivory Coast vs. Japan, ESPN


Costa Rica embarrassed Uruguay! Some serious upsets. Most points EVER overall so far in any World Cup. Amazing.

Just a few games in and there have been some amazing goals.

I get so excited for the WC. Go ITALY. They are the underdog with England.

 

[gfh77665]

Yep. I am retiring my picks after today. They were abysmal to say the least. LOL.

 

[HTSS_TR]

I must agree with you, most bettors in England put their money on Uruguay. North and central America suppose to be beaten by South America team every time.

There were some very good goals, this WC so far is much better than 4 years ago at South Africa.

Dang, I don't have cable/satellite!

I'm no fan but in honor of my former instructor, Dr. Simonelli(a big fan, who played at a rather high level in his youth), I'll root for Italy.

 

[gfh77665]

Italy won two Cups ago, and England has been in a drought. I'll pull for England, but I admit their keeper is letting them down. Way too flat footed and slow to react.

I really was unsure I was gonna watch it, but I saw this thread & it
brought back memories...

I don't have cable/satellite either, I watch it on Mexican channel Univision, they show all the matches from opening till final.

 

[gfh77665]

My eyes are about to bug out. One half to go with Ivory Coast-Japan. I am about to get soccer overloaded.

 

[HTSS_TR]

It happened once every 4 years !

So far most matches are good to watch. Especially with over the air antenna free of charge. The picture quality is actually better than basic cable, only problem is I don't understand Spanish.

The Italian goalkeeper could have brought out a lawn stool, portable TV and a cold drink then watched the game on TV.

 

[HTSS_TR]

We meet Ghana tomorrow Monday June 16 6:00 PM EDT.

Also, Germany vs Portugal tomorrow 12:00 PM EDT, this is a good match. Germany supposed to be 1 of the top contenders to win it all.

@HTSS_TR - pretty sure you can find live streams on the net at 720p

 

[gfh77665]

Switzerland over Ecuador 2-1 with winning goal with just 20 secs left in stoppage time, just after the refs "play on" call, resulting from an Ecuador defender taking down a Swiss player on a break away run. Game of the tourney so far! WOW!

 

[gfh77665]

France - Honduras getting nasty, France now running away.

Danngg...for a texan you sure got hooked on our football

 

[gfh77665]

American, I mean, TEXAS football is in my blood forever. I played high school ball here and was pretty decent. A knee injury kept me from the possibility of playing at the collegiate level.

However, I coached youth soccer for 10 years, and yes, I am hooked, at least on World Cup games.
