They looked awful today and they are done, they will make it past the groups but not much farther than that.
I do not see them going beyond the round of 16.
Sweden looked bad too. A three and out for them.
The last match today was by far the best but Argentina held on for three points and a boost of national confidence after a miserable 2002 campaign.

I pretty much agree on all points here. I thought the refs were pretty bad in the last two games. The calls were bad both ways in the Argentina match so I can't say there was any bias but still I hope they don't do any of the major matches. I did sense an anti-T&T bias. I really hope thats not part of the racism there and it was just some missed calls. Not sure where those refs were from.
Now I need to talk my boss into letting me put a TV in the office for the US match. Or maybe close up for the day with the hurricane coming. Then I can head back over to the international student center and watch on the 120 inch screen and hear some serious soccer talk.
