Several years ago I was working with a programmer from the Netherlands. 1998 during the World Cup to be exact. I asked him. "As a fan of Dutch football, what would you rather see...The Dutch winning the World Cup OR beating Germany in any type of match? " Without ANY hesitation, he would have rather see a win by the Dutch over Germany...The WC trophy was secondary. I was amused by the lack of hesitation in his response.

Final Four time. Who will advance and why ????? Germany Spain Uruaguay or Netherlands ? I say Netherlands and Germany meet in the Finals

I hear ya Lv Bills...Last month we travelled on I-81 north through Staunton VA ,,and it was a mess.... I guess I am really spoiled by the lack of traffic in S WV

If Dick Vitale were announcing the match, would he refer to the young German team as "Deutschland's Diaper Dandies" ? Dang-gone they are quick to the ball.

Thanks Ray. Next year we'll leave in June for the Fourth of July..HAHA. Also in the Buffalo paper this AM, there is an article about the long lines at the Lewiston-Queenston bridge. There is a construction project on the Canadien side, upgrading the toll plaza...

We came to WNY for the fourth of July weekend. I guess I am spoiled by the lack of traffic in WV. Traffic on I-90 to Buffalo was insane. This all occurred after 2PM. Waited 25 minutes to clear the Lackawana NYS Thruway toll plaza. Then waited 30 minutes to get onto the exit for the Grand Island Bridge. More time to get to the G I Bridge toll plaza. And finally the merging of 8 lanes into two to cross the South GI Bridge really was the capper. From now on, its gonna be Niagara Falls Blvd...I can deal with all the stop lights. I need a Molsons ...or two...or three.

+1.... Not that no African teams remain, can FIFA ban those stupid vuvuzelas ? Incredible ending to the extra time.

Can you imagine the hype and excitement IF the USA had defeated Ghana last Sat. ?? It would have been unreal. Germany ...Argentina is THE match I want to watch... and will be the game I can watch since I'll be at MIL's house. She has BASIC cable, which means no ESPN... Channels 2--22,,3 are shopping channels and 3 are local access channels...Nothing is more exciting than watching the Lockport town council meetings...

belated Happy Birthday !!!

Sad day this Wednesday June 30.. No vuvzelas to listen to over the XM radio...

I have a Samsung flat screen and it is very good. I got the extended warranty also. Two years later the store is out of business

Perhaps by 2014 the Lords of FIFA will get their collective head out of their arse and do two things. 1. Ban the vuvuzela. 2. Use technology to assist the officials. If the NHL and their sparkling leadership can use technology to review goal situations, Sepp and the 'progressive' leadership of FIFA can institute some sort of review. At least the 2014 WC will be telecast during reasonable hours here in the USA.

Well said, Sage. When my mom's cancer came back for the third time, she told the Doc "Let nature take its course. No more chemo or treatments." She passed in her sleep at home. She had no fear.

Good call on the score...Thing that makes Germany so dangerous is that they are so young...

Feilhaber in to start second half. Now let's get two goals in the next 45 minutes

Yellow cards ....consecutive matches... Subs. 3 per match in FIFA international matches. Way back 'when', there were no subs... New name for the US National team. Team Shovel....since they continually dig themselves a deep hole in their matches.

I'll have to see this when I get home. No youtube at work ,.. IT Nazi's block it for some reason. GO USA

Looks like Japan is advancing to the knockout round of 16 Up 2--0 late in second half. 77th minute. If the US was trailing, I'd say we had 'em just where we wanted 'em...

Yes it's gonna suck for the team from Deutschland. GO USA

That is why I enjoy these tournaments so much. When my dau was a youth player, we had the exact same thing occur in a tournament. We scored late and advanced ...and won the whole kitandkabootle

Pete,,,don't hold back,,,Tell us how you really feel. HAHAHA

One more hour... GO USA Go Slovenia

Bathrooms at old Cleveland Municipal stadium...

I recorded this show on the DVR....Heard many good things about this show. And my DVR has ability to record two shows at same time. So ESPN and ESPN 2 will BOTH at 9:30 this AM. I'd like not to hear the results and see the recordings 'fresh', but that ain't gonna happen...I'll listen to the matches on XM radio. GO USA

Pete,,,thanks for that video A+ Another reason to abhor French football. The French coach REFUSED to shake the hand of the coach of South Africa after the loss.... What a maroon ..
