On the other hand, I didn't suffer the hour of anxiety I would have gone through if I got to watch it.

We controlled the second half completely until after we scored. Then our players looked increasingly tired and the game was played evenly through the rest of the second half. Finally, Ghana regained control of the match and had the much stronger play in extra time.

You're lucky. I only got to glance at the second half once, because I got stuck going to a cousin's rugby game.
That's kinda funny, considering the Football Vs Football arguments going on... you get stuck at rugby.

I only watched from after the tie, I managed to sleep in too late to catch the start. Ghana's goal was beautiful and the wailing of the Americans (and the vuvuzela chorus) was music to my ears.

Now..now..I don't expect us to defeat Germany but I hope the game is good, regardless of result.

That's just a douchey cheapshot. At least my insults were relevant.
Hey we played a good World Cup, this stuff kind of got me into soccer a bit more, I might actually keep tabs on some teams between now and the next world cup, so I can go into detail about why the U.S.A. shits on England (Germany is gonna fuck you up, I will fucking wank to that shit).
Havok, hold your head up high, we have nothing to be ashamed of.
I just wish I was able to watch the U.S.A./Ghana game.
So in the end, everyone, its been fun (granted, its not even close to being over yet).
Bluewolf, go choke on some nuts.

How so? USA are a shitty team, with no skill, and celebrate extreme luck.

Check the rankings you shitbag, Germany are favourites against England (6th vs 8th), Ghana were massive underdogs vs USA (32nd vs 14th) and yet you still played like the shitdogs you are? Get on the aeroplane and go back to your xenophobic 'world series'
Havok, hold your head up high, we have nothing to be ashamed of.
Ashamed? No, grateful you even made it that far? Yes.
Our team doesn't even bother shitting on your team, cos we don't even know who you are.
Go home.

This sentence contradicts your entire post. Get back at me when you can shit out a coherent thought.

What the fuck is your problem? It's a goddamn soccer game. I can't say I'm thrilled with the game's result, but I doubt anyone was under any illusions that the USA team was going to go very far. Of course, my reaction of "that sucks for us, good going Ghana" probably is too relaxed for your "HAHA FUCK YOU AMERICA PISS OFF ps you're all racists because of the name of your final baseball series each year."
I seriously have no idea why the hell these international sports events have to turn into gigantic dickwaving competitions where everyone shits all over each other for the dumbest fucking reasons.

It is payback for Whiplash acting like a giant douchebag earlier on, when he threw such things like "USA shits on your team" etc. around and acted as if the USA was the greaterst football nation alive or had any chances of winning. Now that reality has shown the USA team for what it is (divers and bottom of the foodchain), some people think they can throw a bit back against him.

Okay, tomorrow -or later today, depending on your timezone- a big game...
Mexico vs Argentina
Considering that Mexico did short work of a relatively weak and incohesive France, but failed -albeit not spectacularly- against Uruguay.
Awaiting your carefully weighed asessments.

Argentina is 8-0-0 in 2010. They demolished Canada 5-0 in May. I'd say you guys are in tough; I'll be cheering for you though. You can do it!

Yes, but I was blatantly being a douche vs. actually feeling that way.

Thanks... That's been Mexico's curse for as long as I can remember (and I'm 36... and I've read and heard the recounts of all the legendary failures). Failing to "define". Failing to make the final goals that count. Failing at penalty shots, when they're what matter the most.
Some have chalked it up to a very Mexican point of view. "We can't beat the Germans!" even though we were practically mopping the floor with them back in 86. And when it counts, we always seem to falter due to a "Why? This can't be! We're beating the -insert here: Germans, Argentinians, Brazilians, etc... "-factor; and then we start to fail, and I mean EPIC fail. It must be that dreaded
Malinchism rearing its ugly head on us...!
Here's hoping we perform decently against the Ches.

Kloooose.
What a great play by Neuer.
And Klose does not go for a penalty shot, but stay upright and makes the goal. What a fighter.

Well, our defense also had some holes, but the English are too slow (playing/passing, not running) to make anything out of them so far.

Podolski.
We are demolishing the English. Their central defence completely sucks, we can dance around them at will. Speedbursts seem to do the trick, along with superior coordination.
