Embid is getting killed on Twitter for praising Ronaldo's assist at the end of the game.

How great is Klinsmann? Our best player is %#^*ing an aids tree and we still lead the group of death.

"The U.S. is known to give all they have in every single game. Otherwise Mexico wouldn't be here."
-- U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann upon being asked about the possibility of collusion between the USA and Germany in their final group game in which a tie would guarantee second-round passage for both teams. The USA, after already having clinched a spot in Brazil 2014, saved Mexico’s World Cup hopes with its performance in a 3-2 win over Panama. (USA Today) |

Meh. We should sign a treaty with them to just kick off and then play cards for 90 minutes.

@billbarnwell: USA-Portugal drew a bigger overnight TV rating than Game 3 of the World Series. http://t.co/Ae9M3gxqIA

Baseball - Teams rest their players after they have qualified. Take starters out early when the game is in hand. Football - Teams will not play players when qualified for the playoffs. In the Super bowl they allowed teams to score so they could get the ball back. When seeding is established, will not play players. College Basketball - Teams will not play their best players when way ahead. But, I don't think either team will lay down and accept a mutual tie.

They really blew it by allowing that goal. It looked sloppy and a lack of focus like we got this in the bag. That was a major opportunity to impress the non-soccer fan and get them to watch a MLS game. But, I do understand Soccer better now. And will watch the next game too. So there is still a chance to attract large amount of sports fans to soccer.

It's hard to get into a game when you never know for sure where the end is...

What looks like to the lay person a bunch of lazy dudes lolling around on a tropical beach, is often those same guys sticking their hands in and out of a crocodile's mouth. What the lack of familiarity with the game engenders is an inability to see the crocodile. Similar to the Jones goal where he looked pent up until he made just the right move to his right and blasted one of the more impressive goals of the Cup.

Arjen Robben is an absolute terror for opposing defenses.

For any team in any sport. Being a fan is the worst idea of fun in human history.
