I believe we make a mistake using blogs as "blogs!" Blogs are content delivery systems & a lot more! Static websites? Undergoing extinction!

Great effort! USA Go England!
It's a funny thing about sports. The higher up you go, close to the top, the greater the players & teams, the more disappointing the losses!
History repeats itself! WorldCup USA Darn it!
I just scared the heck out my dog! Ooooohhhhh! USA WorldCup
I just scared the heck out my dog! Ooooohhhhh! USA WorldCup
Another dive & the fans in the stands chanting "B*llsh*t...B*llsh*t...B*llSh*t!" I agree! Very poor sportsmanship! WorldCup USA
A few years ago the diving got so bad they threatened red cards for dives! This is the real turn off in the mens' game! WorldCup USA
4 mins plus stoppage in regulation! Ugh! USA WorldCup
That wasn't soccer it was a wrestling match! Come on Altidore! USA WorldCup
Bradley!!!!!! Ohhhhh! USA WorldCup Talk about a missed chance!
OMG!!! Altidore! USA WorldCup So close!
PK! Donovan! USA WorldCup Goooooooaaaaaaaalllllllll! 1-1!
YYYEEEESSSSSSS! USA WorldCup I just scared the H3LL out of TuffGuy!
USA is definitely a different team this half! WorldCup
Ghana isn't pressing USA as hard as they were in the 1st half! WorldCup
I am always amused when I read about or hear people critique soccer skills. It is an easy looking, terribly difficult game to play! Try it!?
@desjardins Extra-time if it is a draw after 90mins & stoppage.
Thank goodness for Howard on that save! They better wake up! USA WorldCup
USA misses best chance yet! Finley!! USA WorldCup
Pulling Clark was a smart move by Bradley! Yellow card & a weak showing in the midfield. Ghana seems faster, quicker, stronger. WorldCup
Shot of President Bill Clinton & Mick Jagger sitting together at the World Cup! USA seems to be getting manhandled. USA pressing hard now!
Got up to get a soda & Ghana goes up 1-0 in the first 5min! Ghana pressing hard early. 50,000 USA fans there! 2 yellow cards against USA!
Undoubtedly due to the home pitch advantage, it'll be rockin in S.A! Ghana is favored in spite of USA's higher SPI. But USA has Tim Howard!
Read "Bush at War" in the last few days. Finished with "State of Denial." Watched Green Zone (same storyline) Next "Imperial Hubris." Heavy!
USA over Ghana today! Should be a great match! The stadium will be full for this one! Ghana will definitely have a "home pitch" advantage!
