What I find more annoying than the noise of the vuvuzelas is the noise of British media complaining about vuvuzelas.

The term "soccer" is invented by the British not Americans or North Americans.

quote:
The British invented Football in 1863, full name Association football, the term football is the formal name while soccer is its nickname that was created by the English inorder to distinguish it from rugby football. Soccer became a shortened reference to the word assocation football. Therefore, Football's nickname soccer is often used to refer to football in countries where another form of football exist...

I agree to a point, but Spain, Italy and Brazil in any tourney make it pretty strong...

Not only that, but it sure is a good preparation for the World Cup.

Exactly. This span between cups has been great for soccer with the olympics and these tournaments...

When I first managed to sneak a peak at the score during the first half I had to check two other sites to verify I was not seeing things. I still am having trouble accepting the final score.

These last two games the US has not looked like the same team that we have all grown to know and love. They have looked a whole heck of a lot better.

And thanks for the infor about ESPN2 replaying it. I will have to be sure to see this one for myself.
