Well, it was ugly, but the U.S has advanced (Thanks South Korea!)
We looked pretty bad against Poland, but since Portugal went down 2 men, Korea took advantage and scored. Even 2 men down Portugal had 3 or 4 really good chances to tie the score and eliminate the U.S, but they didn't and now we take on Mexico. THat's been a good rivalry, so hopefully we'll pull it off.

Well, it's great we (United States) advanced. I believe we face Mexico next, I'm not sure how good they are though. That game is on june 17th by the way. Anyone know which channel will be covering it in the U.S.?

The Germanator 06-14-2002 04:59 PM

Well, I'm sure ESPN or ESPN 2 will carry it live at 2:25 A.M which is it's live time in the U.S I believe. Then ABC will re-broadcast it at a more reasonable time like 1 or 2 P.M o'clock later that day.

You should have seen an Italian guy's face...it was of total disbelief...he just sat there like.....that didn't just happpen....tell me that didn't just happen.

*remembers that people take their soccer very seriously and pointing and laughing at some one who's team has lost could result in serious bodily injury*:D

Italy is a good team I am sorta sorry that they lost but I wanted Korea to win..and they did. :D

Go Korea go.

If you're talking about Coco, that was a bandage on his head. Another Italian elbowed just beside his eyebrow, and he was on the floor in a bloddy mess. So he got bandaged.

But if you're not talking about Coco, well, I didn't see anybody else with a weird thing on their head.

It seems this WC is very different form the others. Senegal, S.Korea, Turkey, and USA are the biggest surprises. France, Argentina, Portugal and Italy are eliminated. Yup, it really is different from the others.
