Mexico got cheated.....that was a blatant goal.
Just to clear up this.
You have to have 2 people between you and the goal.
The keeper came out for the cross so there was only the defender on the line between the scorer and the goal.
Correctly given offside.
Good luck USA, should be a close game and could go either way.

Oh man I hope Howard is ok. Without him we're done.
This English team could win the whole thing. Gerrard, Lampard, Rooney, Terry... They're loaded

Man, the US should have won with how many quality shots they had on goal and I was happy to see them try to go for the win. Ingland is done IMO...no defense no goalie no WC Championship.
Germany looked amazing...technically sound and beautiful football.

I thought we played well after the England goal, and I'm not too proud to accept some luck on Dempsey's goal. Particularly satisfied with Gooch's performance given his lack of playing time since his injury.
I don't think England is done, they just showed that they won't be able to win it all with their current goalkeeper. Their defense was pretty solid and only gave up a few chances. They're still a great team. I agree that Germany looked ridiculously good.

Yeah, little known rule since the GK is almost always the second player. It was funny watching the broadcast live. One of the commentators initially said the Mexicans were robbed of a goal since the South African defender was on the line, but then never said anything similar during later replays. You could tell someone in the booth whispered the rule in his ear and he tried not to bring his mistake to light.
