"Feilhaber's rise has been slowed recently by serious knee injuries, two surgeries and nearly a full year out of the game. " from FIFA article on Benny and his Brazilian roots.

I told my Brazilian waiter today if they win the match tomorrow he is fired. Go USA.
Have we ever been this far in any tourney?

This is our first final in a FIFA tourney. Not sure about other significant competitions, but I would say, yes.I have no idea what to expect tomorrow. Another 3-0 lashing seems likely, but an upset might happen.

Excluding CONCACAF, obviously.

South Africa looking good again this morning.

Spain just Villa and Torres off, not really sure how they plan on mustering an attack. Silva and Guiza are good attacking players but Riera and Santi are ineffective in the attack and Sergi is more of a holding player than someone in the mold of Cesc/Xavi. Not really sure what Del Bosque is doing here.

South Africa takes the lead. Amazing.
Spain scores two goals late to take the lead, then SA scores on a free kick in extra time.

Some of the most incredible minutes of soccer I have ever seen. Heading to extra time 2-2.

Casillas keeping Spain in the game here.

Certainly could have been called, but I am fine with the lack of a PK there.

Tough break for South Africa, they outplayed Spain IMO.

Joan Laporta reporting that Man City has made an offer for Eto'o that will make him the world's highest paid player, and Eto'o's (that felt weird to type) considering it.

Can't really blame Eto'o if he wants to cash in like that. He has won all he can really in Barcelona and he will never get that kind of salary with us. Showed up big in the CL final but that masked a pretty big drop off in play this second half of the year. He may have still ended up with a high number of goals, but his finishing is not what it once was and he doesn't convert enough of the chances he gets.Him leaving would likely mean Villa is coming to Barca. I don't rate Villa as highly as Eto'o right now though.

I'm up for it. I know little enough about soccer that I think we have a chance. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to leave in the middle of the second half to attend a memorial service for an acquaintance. Doubt they're going to have the game on there, even though it's at DKR.

Good luck to team USA. I will have to DVR the game, lucky most don't care about soccer so i should be able to watch the game with out knowing the outcome later when i get back home.

I am going for 2-1 the other way. I think the US will play better than in the first match, but Brazil has looked really good and the US will miss Bradley. Losing 2-1 is as optimistic as I can make myself be.

A lot of smug bastards in the "NBA wagering" thread cheering for Brazil. One of them calling it "easy money".

Its a business fella
I wonder how they fared on the Spain game?
Steve Tasker
Footballguy
I take that back, they actually called it "free money"

Exact same lineup as the Spain game except with Feilhaber in for the suspended Bradley.
Davies, Spector continue to start, and well-deserved.

Nice tribute to Marc-Vivien Foe here. I heard they were going to do this.

My guess is that ESPN has a broader reach around the world with their various channel offerings. Disney has it all figured out I'm sure.

I learned a long time ago to never bet on games where my team is playing. It's like betting on a Bills game...regardless of the line, I just can't do it...

I didn't necessarily say betting on the Bills, I just can't bet on Bills games. Can't bet on Sabres games, can't bet on Arsenal/USMNT games, etc...
