Yes I finally got access to a TV. And let me say that the Ghana game was a great one ot get folks intrested. It reeminded me of hockey in a way, which is probabuyl why I got intrested more than usual. Tried to post while watching bvut for some reason the icons woudln't load. Very odd.

And no, people disappear when I post

indeed. I'm like "this isn't the bush leagues dammit. IThis is the big show"

I"m thinking it's probably nerves. I mean it's like being in the World Series, onyl with a hell of a lot more people caring.

I'd say the entire tournament has been well above average, so far. Ghana were excellent. Argentina were superb. But lots of other good games and some great goals.

translation issues, and for some areas, it doesn't have the same or any meaning at all.

That and for some languages it doesn't have two syllables

COmpared to some comments that I've said regarding hockey matches, your'e tepid.

Interesting poll on ESPN.com -
Which is the most interesting event?
USA in World Cup, NBA Finals, or US Open.

And atm (112,135 votes), USA in World Cup leads on 47%, with NBA Finals on 39%, and US Open down on 14%.
Interesting to see.

Very, considering that the US Open was on more channels then the WC yesterday

I would have gone with, "I mean it's like being in the World Series, only its actually involving the world."

I find hitting the snooze button works. However those plastic cases don't stand up to hard blows from a clenched fist too well.
