Best World Cup I've seen honestly. My brother actually leaves for Brazil tomorrow. He'll be watching games at the Maracana and living in a resort. That hound.
I didn't even know who Cristiano Ronaldo was until this morning, lol. Definitely not a much of a soccer fan but go USA!
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel(Leo) Messi are 2 world best soccer players of the last 5-6 years.
This world cup has many matches with 4 goals total or more, more than all previous world cup.

FIFA corruption has reared its ugly head.
1) Ghana implicated in match fixing multiple times
2) Bosnia goal disallowed on an incredibly BOGUS off-side call, then the ref celebrates with the Nigerian players
3) Now, Italy just got JOBBED by Ecuador and the ref, who threw a ridiculous red against Italy and ignored a Ecuador player (nicknamed "the Cannibal, I am not kidding) biting an Italian.
I love soccer but hate FIFA. I am looking for the US to get shafted on Thursday.

So the excuse for USA taking a loss at the hands of the Germans is all set and ready to put in motion.
Did you see that call? That ref should be ousted. He saw the Germans were losing so he made that call deliberately to save their behinds, he must be on the take, even a blind man can see that.
See i told you we would get the shaft, there was no doubt in my mind. We really won that match and it was stolen from us.

I heard on the radio yesterday that there was a deal in the works. No more Hitler/Nazi "documentaries" on History and AHC if Germany agreed to a draw in the upcoming match.
Yes, I know it's a feeble attempt at humor by some radio show.

Not the case at all. The U.S. soccer team deserves to be sent home playing like losers in the closing seconds against Portugal. The game against Germany should be a formality at this point. Instead the U.S. could face elimination.

Koman Coulibaly
Controversies
2010 FIFA World Cup
Coulibaly was preselected as a referee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in October 2008,[8] one of 32 referees selected for the tournament[9] and one of four African officials.[10]
On 18 June 2010, Coulibaly officiated the Group C match between the United States and Slovenia. In the 86th minute, Coulibaly called a foul against the U.S. as Stoke City and American midfielder Maurice Edu kicked the ball into the Slovenian goal. Video replay showed no evidence of a foul or offsides by any of the U.S. players. The decision to disallow the goal was criticized in the international sports press.[11][12][13] The goal would have put the American side ahead 3–2; the match ended in a 2–2 draw.[14] Per FIFA policy, Coulibaly has never publicly stated what the foul was or who it was on.
Though Coulibaly was fourth official in a later match between Italy and New Zealand, he was not chosen to officiate in the second round and was among those referees sent home before the quarterfinals. This match was his only appearance as referee in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.[15][16]

There was no evidences of corruption on officials in the field. If FIFA is corrupted and gave preference treatment to certain team(s) then nobody want to stay in the game.
Officials in the field are human and they made mistakes like in other games. Soccer is so fast, the referee may not be able to see clearly every fault on every play.

Uruguay, not Ecuador. That was a critical call since Italy only needed a tie to advance. I think Suarez' s motto is "If you can't beat 'em, bite 'em."
The ref in yesterday's Mexico v.Croatia match wasn't too impressive either, missing an obvious hand ball.

Notice alot of the Euro teams are out and alot of the South Central and North American teams are doing well ?
Yeah, WC tournament in Continental of America usually favors American teams.
The biggest winner so far is Costa Rica. They're supposed to be last but they are the group winner.

You are correct. I did know it was Uruguay, but Ecuador came out, sorry. I have watched too much soccer this past week.

Huh? They have to "stay in the game" because there is no other World Cup to play in!
You guys need to do a bit of research, and open your eyes:
