I'm originally from Holland, so that's who I'll be watching and rooting for. My grandsons are here for the summer, and we're having a great time watching the World Cup. HUP HOLLAND HUP!!!

I tried watching soccer for a few minutes between innings. I fell asleep and missed the rest of the game. BORING!!!!!

That US-Ghana game was exciting. Very fast goal for the US. I really only really enjoy watching soccer when they have a shoot-out after a tie. Not sure how that works in these matches. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/questio...ry?id=24192796

I do not have a lot of experience watching soccer though nor childhood memories of the game and the like. I did have to take some nieces and nephews to soccer games in Clearwater.

US vs. Portugal 2-2. Going with what another site predicts. Another one had a 0-0 tie. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/fifa-world-...g-odds-1453668 http://freepicks.picksandparlays.net...d-predictions/

Does anyone know of any places in TV where fans gather to watch the U.S. games?

You were watching baseball and found soccer boring? In a typical 3 hour plus baseball game, there are only 18 minutes of action. one hour and 15 minutes is spent between pitches. 42 minutes are spent between innings. It's too bad you didn't catch the USA vs Portugal match. Non stop action for 95 minutes.

Congrats USA...back door is better than no door.



On a Related note .... I was out this afternoon and tried to DVR record it on ESPN on my Comcast cable TV. Setup the recording, got the blue box saying recording has started, but it never did. Repeated several time on both HD and Std Def and would not record.



Was there some type of prohibition on DVR'ing it? Anybody successfully record it on Comcast today?



Just curious...

They could win now that the Belgium team member got that red card. I suppose that means they will be playing with 10 men????

And now we face Belgium. Should be a great match and I really believe we can win it.
