June 12 FIFA World Cup Open Thread: Battle Of Rustenburg

I do not know how much I will be around to comment during the festivities today, but thanks to my lovely DVR, I will be watching, and chances are, once I finish USA-England (it should be sometime today), I will write a recap of that match. Comment on the games here if you want. U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Group B: South Korea vs. Greece 7:30 AM (Port Elizabeth) (ESPN - Derek Rae and Robbie Mustoe)
Group B: Argentina vs. Nigeria 10:00 AM (Johannesburg EPS) (ESPN - Adrian Healey and Efan Ekoku)
Group C: United States vs. England 2:30 (Rustenburg) (ABC - Martin Tyler and John Harkes)

  1. Argentina should have scored 5 or 6goals.

    That said, USA! USA! USA!

  2. A T-R-B-L defending effort leads to the first goal by England. 1-0 Brits.

  4. And, there's the final whistle. England 1 USA 1 and both teams open the tournament with a point in the standings.

  6. way OT, but too good to ignore. from the O's game:

    Gary Thorne: "Once I was doing college football on ABC and I announced the player of the game scholarship as being worth 5 million dollars. And the car company offering it was not as appreciative as they should have been."

    Jim Palmer: "Was this one of the ones that went bankrupt?"

    Thorne: "And now you know why."
