Noooooooooooo USA lost! NO!

What's sad is, they lost 2-1 to the tiny African nation that beat them 2-1 four years ago. Ghana (along with Italy) knocked them out in Germany to. Point, USA is a sad, sad team.

Wow, you're remarkably uneducated. Ghana is better than the USA is at soccer. There are numerous reasons for this (including the lack of popularity of soccer in America), but the the USA is by no means a sad, sad team because they lost to a "small little african nation".

Uruguay has 4 million people in the entire country yet have won the World Cup twice. Just because America has a huge population does not mean they should be good at soccer. Size does not necessarily correlate to anything, especially in proportions of athletic talent, ability of a team to play together, and solid tactics.

Noooooooooooo USA lost! NO!

And as the final horn sounded, apathy for the world's most popular sport was reinstated among the American masses, only to be assuredly set aside temporarily once again in four short years. And the cycle continues.

Wake me up when football (the entertaining kind) starts up again.

Did anybody see the Ghana-Uruguay game? Ghana got cheated badly. I think soccer may need to implement a goaltending rule.

Umm, how did he cheat? Suarez got called for the Red card. He did what any intelligent player would have done. It's not his fault Gyan choked that PK.

Ghana deserved to lose after screwing up a chance to win in the 90 min.

I wish they had a rule when a player deliberately stops the ball like the uruguay vs ghana game that the goal will count and the player is red carded.

On a sadder note, Paul the octopus has chosen spain over germany.  :-[
Well, germany has done very well regardless.

USA is gonna win. Why? Because we're the US freaking A! I'd post a video called "America... yeah," but I think I'd get banned.  ;D

I know exactly what you're talking about.

I also may not fully understand the usage of the word "choked".
