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)
USA! USA! USA!
ReplyDeleteArgentina should have scored 5 or 6goals.
ReplyDeleteThat said, USA! USA! USA!
A T-R-B-L defending effort leads to the first goal by England. 1-0 Brits.
ReplyDeleteDempsey! It was a softie, but we'll take it. 1-1.
ReplyDeleteAnd, there's the final whistle. England 1 USA 1 and both teams open the tournament with a point in the standings.
ReplyDeleteButterfingers really needs to get Robert Green into a commercial after the tournament.
ReplyDeleteway OT, but too good to ignore. from the O's game:
ReplyDeleteGary 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."
