World Cup! two great games yesterday with ireland coming back at the last possible minute to beat germany, forcing the germans to wait another game to go through (with an 8-0 game against Saudi Arabia, they will surely go through on at least goal differential). And then the US! trouncing the Portugese in the first half, and staving off the onslaughts in the second half. Been a while since I've been so nervous watching any sport. The US and their goals looked good. I'm sure people will say that Portugal played poorly. But hey -- it's how you play on game day, not how you played yesterday.
