english fans are pretty cocky, youd think they won more than 1 world cup a whopping 44 years ago.

When they scored I ran and slid on my knees across the carpet like the players do when they score. Pure adrenaline. Now that it's faded, I noticed I shredded my kneecaps. LOL. Both raw as hell. Ouch. I'm an idiot. Hahaha.

That's the happiest I've been about a sporting event in a long time.

ive missed alot of WC action b/c of the time the games start so im real excited about the US advancing. hopefully i get to watch their entire games going forward. my boss doesnt alow us to watch. an argentine girl tried to sneak it th argentine v greece game on her comp yesterday, she didnt mute her sound, those horn things went blaring, boss came by and told her it was work time and to shut it off. shes from argentina, speaks limited english, spends 3-4 months a year in argentina and you wont let her watch it on her comp?

Actually she was bouncing around the room with me when they scored. We both tinkered with our work schedules this week so we could be home for the match. Good times.

She did call me an idiot for sliding across the carpet. Hahaha.

Fixed that for you.

[SmootSmack]

I'm not exactly sure why, maybe because of the successful marketing behind the Seattle Sounders, but soccer is big in Seattle and growing at a rapid pace.

Congrats to the English side for defeating Slovenia and moving on to stage 2.

You are right that some of the comments here, including one of mine the other day, have not been all that classy. Sorry for that. However, please understand that we all have encountered English fans (not you) who have been so very arrogantly condescending that they could be Dallas Cowboys fans.

[davy]

Thanks for that Lotus.

I do appreciate that a lot of England fans do appear to have a ridiculously superior attitude when it comes to soccer. I have to deal with them on a daily basis on another forum.

I like to think it is more about eternal optimism than true arrogance.

Anyway, best of luck to USA in their game with Ghana. I have a feeling you will do better than England will against Germany.
