That late goal by Portugal :(

 

US still had a decent chance of getting through their group though. If they draw Germany, or if Portugal/Ghana draws the US advance.  And there's tiebreakers that come into play (goal difference being the first)  if none of those things happen.

I'd actually really like USA to advance. They seem to play quite fairly, and well. Also wanting Ghana to get through, as I think they've been playing excellently.

If it's a matter of access, all the games are available free on the web at ESPN3 if you are in the states.  Google it and you can see it there.  They also have full game replays if you want to see something you missed.

Thanks to the genius of Chrysostom, I'm going to watch the Australia vs. Spain match at 11. I'm trying to decide who to support. :P

Spain demolished us! (Though I am happy Spain did get a victory in the end.)

Shame to see the Aussies lose when they were a scrappier team than many who are still going forward.

Doesn't "scrappy" mean "bad"? Or it at least does where I'm from, anyway.

Yeah, they're pretty scrappy. And they were apparently picked as the "unluckiest" team in the Cup, so it's not too surprising. 

Very interested in seeing how Croatia will fare today - Cameroon, too.

Yes, pretty much. It's not used here, really, but it means disorganised, imperfect, sketchy, etc.

But of course I did not learn my vocabulary from that site. ahem.

 

What I was taught is that "scrappy" meant disorganized, bad, not a snowball's chance in hell of making accomplishments or moving forward, etc.

I'd never really used the word "scrappy" until this morning. It's just not part of our vocab.

It's not in mine, either. :P Nobody usually ever uses it here, but when they do, it's not good. :P
