USA v Czech Republic - World Cup

The game has been on for 5 minutes now.

Hopefully Czech republic win as they are a true football loving nation.

Why doesnt USA like football (soccer)?

The "no action" excuse is just lame as in baseball all there is is strikes and no balls.

becuase of a lack of coverage. The usa has big playing rates and quite big crowds although it dosent get publicised much.

2-0 now to Czech Repbulic(currently at half time)

i agree with adamg with the coverage...however i think this is the first time every game will be televised for the world cup...when its not world cup time though, the mls is barely on and european games are only on once in a while in the early afternoon...somehow espn gets better ratings showing fishing than they do world class soccer. i dont get it.

down 2-0 at the half...that won't help either...im expecting an australian type comeback

lol its not Japan you are playing, its the 3rd ranked team in the world.

aaah that was not a good game! The only player on the US showing any heart was Eddie Johnson (#9)....and brilliant Bruce Arena used him as a sub....and after watching parts of the Ghana/Italy game it looks like USA will be lucky to even win a game in this group!

I had to laugh when they slagged off Aussie saying they were there to make up the numbers but at the minute they are first in their group and USA are bottom.
