There is no need to insult me. Not all Americans are football illiterate. I played the game for more than 10 years, and have coached at top youth levels in the US for more than 20 years. I suspect I have much more real experience with the game than most fans from countries where football is played with the foot...
I've also seen my share of international games in person all over the world, including games where Argentine was a much better side than they have shown in this Cup. They have clearly not put together a strong effort yet this year. They may, but they were totally inept against England's bunker defense - and rarely put a challenge on the goalkeeper.
Argentina had a real hard time finishing - with virtually no shots that were on goal. It's hard to win when you don't actually shoot at the net...

Argentina has had its share of problem... but I can point out where you people are mistaken, this team will not draw or be defeated by Sweden. They are under severe pressure to win because the people here in Argentina are not very happy because of the crisis amongst other things. Give them a damn break for a second.
Thewitt, that is where you are wrong they did put up a lot of challanges... either that or you haven't watched that game.
Additionally the US team if it gets past South Korea by some miracle will be put in front of some very difficult teams that it probably could not even be a match to. I will tell you one thing there is no way the US will get pass Spain. The Spanish team is promising not to repeat pass mistakes where it gets knocked off in the second round and I believe they can break that occurance. Because the Spanish team has been rebuilt recently by one famous super-star like Maradona, so expect no mercy from the Spanish team.

The crisis and the people can't win games for them... Maybe they're pressured to win games but the situation in Argentina isn't going to help them get through to the second round.
It won't take a miracle for USA to beat South Korea but they'll probably get kicked out in the 2nd round having to play either Italy, Croatia or Mexico.
Seriously, it'd be really interesting to see the no. 1 favorite and the defending champion to be eliminated in the first round.
No kidding. Did I ever suggest that?
No I did not, I said maybe it would help the people's spirits here that if the Argentine team beats Sweden. And hands down, I think it will.Just imagine USA playing Spain... that would be a very funny match. Spain will beat the US like it did with Slovenia and Paraguay, only this time 6-1 or something.

Hmm...
yeah, turkey has a good chance now... they need to score some goals on china though...
i somehow doubt spain would beat USA 6-1 right now, but spain has actually played pretty well so far in this world cup, its a nice change, spain has a good team and deserves to go to quarterfinals at least...
i hope japan makes it far too, they played a very entertaining kind of football...
