The worst game in the history of the sport. Even I turned off the TV in disgust and went out to run errands instead.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see it happen again on Thursday. Does anyone know if the US manager and the German manager speak a common language they might communicate in? Do they know each other?

I think Ronaldo is overrated, but that was a beautiful pass! I hope Müller and Boateng are ready to go this week against USA, as we will need need them to be in top form.

No, no daughter at home. However, if I did she'd blow it by saying "Wir haben gewonnen!"
