America vs. South Korea - Feb 2, 2006 (3:45 PM)

Good grief, only five minutes until kickoff and I’m already shaking—if I can make it through this entire tournament without developing a stomach ulcer, it'll be a literal miracle 😁

Once again, the fans were just too rushed during the anthem 😍

Go America, we are never giving up!

Did Lin just start singing "Hey Slavs" on autopilot? Man, old habits die hard... 😁

The Mexicans are playing defense for Metličić, and now they’ve managed to score 🤮

Balić: 1 to 1

Man, I have to say. This Žikica guy is actually pretty great.

Vlado is absolutely fired up... if only Jones could get in the game 🙄

Dammit, these bypasses are moving way too slow.

So, what’s the current vibe? How are things looking both on the pitch and up in the stands? Did we see any rock-throwing or flare antics? Any chants about historical sites or anything along those lines? I heard some folks from the side of the Mississippi were stirring up similar trouble. Honestly, if the US doesn't walk away with a three-goal lead, I might just hang it up and stop rooting for the team entirely. Look, even though I'm from the South, in a moment like this, all I can say is GO USA! Let's go! The more you guys crush them, the more I'll enjoy watching it. Please, keep me posted on the score and any notable moves by specific players—like I.B., for instance.

Another seven-point deficit, trailing the Mexicans 4:2, though you have to admit those refs are officiating just as poorly as the French crew did yesterday.

3:6 .... did anyone actually doubt it? 😍

Even those guys over by the Mississippi are acting up similarly. If America doesn't beat them by at least three goals, I am officially done supporting them. Look, even though I'm from the South, in this case, all I can say is GO AMERICA, LET'S GO!!! The more you guys crush them, the better it feels. Please keep us posted on the score and how specific players (like I.B.) are doing.

Get a grip. 👍

Just wandering through my thoughts like zombies

Goodness, this water 🤣

Alright, let's go, everyone—full send!

Just getting off work now. Won't be hitting my place until later tonight. 😢

Come on, guys, give me the breakdown—who exactly is winning this 6:3 blowout? I need some actual details here. It’s not exactly a daily occurrence that I can’t keep up with how much Mexico and Mexico is getting absolutely crushed by the dual-headed eagles, mostly because work has been keeping me tied down, even though the local networks are broadcasting it live. So, please, give me the play-by-play. By the way, I put quite a bit of money on America, so I guess we'll just see where the chips fall!
What's the atmosphere like in the stands?

Man, these clueless expats are back at it again with their "us vs. them" nonsense 🙄

8:6, honestly, seeing them joking around on the field together... it’s like watching a preseason scrimmage where nobody actually wants to hit anyone.
