Yes, USA gets lucky (the England match wasn't because of US skill, neither the Italian one, the Italians always play bad in their group and then kick it up once they are out), but US still play like girls. Very weak and lazy. Not much skill with the foot, and lack of brain power when it comes to being creative or at least making plays. It's so boring watching them play I hardly do it. Euro club football is the way to go if you want to stay awake watching some good football. Either way, we shall see how this world cup continues.
Looks like USA had a bit of bad luck when their goal wasn't counted after coming back in the game.
Yay Chile!

Overall record: Played 25, Won 6, Drawn 3, Lost 16
Best performance: The U.S. finished third in its first World Cup -- back in 1930. The Americans opened the tournament with a 3-0 win over Belgium -- their first victory on soccer's grand stage. The U.S. added another 3-0 win over Paraguay before losing to Argentina 6-1 in the semifinals.
Still, in modern times, don't forget the U.S.'s run to the quarters in 2002. The upstarts opened the tournament by shocking Portugal 3-2, finishing 1-1-1 in pool play. The run continued with a 2-0 win over Mexico in the round of 16, before a loss to Germany in the quarterfinals.

Claudiu, your reasoning just doesn't make sense. They were "lucky" to beat Spain 2-0 last year? Lucky to tie England 1-1? Lucky to tie Italy 1-1 despite being a man down most of the 2nd half? And the playing like girls quip is just juvenile (great response, Kathleen!). Remember, the US had 3 times as many fouls called today as Slovenia, and, 3 red cards in 5 games in the confederations cup last year, and 3 reds in the last World Cup. In what way is that weak? Or soft? If anything it's the opposite. And the US players, unlike most other countries, don't flop and roll around crying every time an opponent gets near them. So really none of your claims are founded. I think you'll be eating a little crow when the US advances Wednesday. I would recommend A1 Sauce - makes it go down a bit easier.
As for the game today, the refereeing was absolutely atrocious. Not only was the disallowed goal an awful call (we still don't know what it is, and likely never will), but he blew multiple calls throughout the game, including a mysterious yellow on Findley after the ball his his face and bounced off his shoulder. And he called the game early. Craziness. The US played horribly in the first half, but they really won this game 3-2 - at least. A win over Algeria gets them through...

The French being defeated ... isn't that the first rule of modern history?
France and now Italy both out of the World Cup.
Love it!
