Slightly OT, on the West Coast, the coverage is horrible: no replay of games, no post-game analysis, not every game has been covered.

I only know a little rudimentary Spanish, but I'm switching rapidly between ABC/ESPN and Univision.

Univision has the better coverage, by far: too bad I don't have a Univision Hi-Def channel...

[which would also be nice when "Caliente" comes on...]

Somehow, I do not think winning a Game 3-0 can be considered being "roughed them up."

Losing a World Cup game 3-0 is the equivalent of losing an NFL game 56 to 0.

Nah, you can´t say a 3:0 is equivalent to 56-0 in American Football. Often enough, it´s just luck whether a better team scores one or more times. However, it´s safe to say that the Czechs were better than the US team.

Someone on a Norwegian board just said, that he plays for an Israeli club.

Anyhow, bring on the Italy-USA game.

I've got cold beer in the fridge :-)

A prophet is never appreciated in his own country. "I didn't know "Baghdad Bob" moved to Berlin and became a Freeper." Quote to you in response to saying Ghana would win.

Great prediction! I read your prediction yesterday and thought you were crazy :)

Yeah, Univision has great coverage. And Caliente is a fringe benefit... :)

Looks like some Spanish-speaking Amis are full of liquid courage over in Deutschland: one of them kept yelling "Vamos, Italia!"

Whoa. One step at a time, big fella.

They know their audience well! Unlike ESPN and ABC.
