I think it is unfair that Korea had to face Japan 3 times in the tournament. The quarter-finals that have been set up so that Korea would be facing Cuba, and Japan against the Dominicans. Clearly, this tournament was set up for the Americans to win.

I think that was quite understood and obvious is that Ghana played one heck of a game.  Besides, if I wanted to think negatively, I could say the same thing about our US team.  Ghana played twice as good as they did but I'm still proud of our guys.  Soccer or football just doesn't get the money or attention here as it does in alot of other countries but that will never change unless those of us that want that to change continue to push for change.  Be darn proud of your team, you deserve to be.  I didn't think they would beat Brazil but I too was right there rooting for them.

I think Japan will win, and yes I care very much.  I'm leaving to go to the game in a few hours, and I think it has been a huge success (the WBC).  I am impartial as to who wins (I am Mexican-American) because both of my countries are eliminated, but this tournament proved that the more athletic, less muscled up, more agile baseball players are still the most effective. I think Japan will win because Cuba's pitching is exhausted, and Japan plays a better overall game.  Their defense is far better, they get on base a lot, and are superb baserunners and contact hitters.

Woooo! I'm actually amazed by your comments, listen before moving to the Us I love this country for everything from sports to economics and even politics. if you are a voter please try and make sure that better people rule your country, it will be a nice start! I was saddened by the decline in result of your basket ball team but you almost make me regret it. You one of those guys thinking that your country is actually bigger than the world, well watch out we will be surprised sooner than you believe. now let talk soccer, you might be better than you were 20, 10 5 years ago but please you rank 4th and what else anyway let's see what you will do against Italy the 12th ranked country and Ghana the 50th ranked team. Just think and tell what quality opponents you played against the past 10 years and remind us the scores also. shoot, you can not even play base ball against others nations and suddenly you are good in soccer, pleaeaeaeaeazzzzzzzzzzzzz

Japan's pretty much cooked. Not only do they have to beat Brazil, but they must also pray Croatia beats Australia. And even then, they must have more goals than Croatia which is very far fetched considering Japan has -2 goals where Croatia only has -1, in other words they would have to defeat Brazil with a surplus of 2 goals more of whatever quantity of goals Croatia beats Australia with. I am not a very good mathematician, but their chances of qualifying to the second round are like 1/501

I thought the passing was their main problem - every other pass they made went to a czech! There were a couple of decent efforts in the last 30mins or so but way too little too late.\n\nI'd like to see them come back but their next 2 games need to play their best games ever. Depending how the other teams do in their remaining games, a draw with Italy may suffice if they can beat Ghana, but realistically, USA will be very lucky even to manage a draw against Italy.\n\nI'm English and an England fan, but I want to see the USA do well so COME ON TEAM AMERICA - GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER!!! You can do it for your country!

If you know the history well, you wouldn't say U.S lost to V.N, you need to look at the bigger picture during that era. I want to say that the U.S has not lost a war, yet. \n\nThe U.S abandoned South Vietnam to allie with China against the U.S.S.R during the Cold War. \n\nLogically speaking... how can can the U.S lost to a third world country back in the day...when in the past the U.S has defeated Germany, Italy and Japan, and many other countries? It's rediculous to say that U.S lost to VN.

That game was by far one of the worst I've seen this World Cup. Both teams played horrible soccer, and they both played dirty. Many Americans are also complaining that the ref was favoring Italy in giving USA 2 red cards. For heaven's sake Pablo Mastroeni almost broke his ankle. Quit with all the B.S. and play soccer. Italy has gotten WAY to lucky in this World Cup, thanks to referrees and Bruce Arena screwed up the World Cup for team USA.

Don't worry. No need to watch. We can see the result. the USA wins. Even if Korea is stronger than the USA, the USA is going to win with unfairness!! Now I can understand WBC is of the USA, by the USA, and for the USA. Change the name of WBC into USABC!!

no one, Ghana will dominate the US liek no other, no one gives them the credit they deserve. Not only did they destroy Czech Repbublic but they could've beaten Italy also. I'd call the game 3-0,Ghana.

My predictions are on South Korea, once again this year... their crowd is phenomenial.. they are so loud, and continue to cheer all throughout the game, even if they are down... did u see the way korea was able to come back on france with a 1-0 defecit.. it was the crowd that lifted Korea's morale up... its like they have 12 players on the pitch..

NOooooo  not on the take... It could have gone like this... "Or you do as we tell you and favor Sth Korea or you will never referee again !!"   Something like that.\nYou mentioned Italy -v- Sth Korea in 2002.  You must remember the Portugal -v- Sth Korea too in 2002 ?   How about the Spain -v- Sth Korea  in 2002  Spain had two perfectly good goals disallowed ?

I remember the trapizoid lanes, and the difference in the size, and material of the ball.  It'll be very difficult for the US to win.  Our guys have grown up playing by different rules, and the lanes being the way they are, makes the game much more different than one may believe.  Our greatest chance is to send the best NBA team, with a starting 5 of US players.  For example, the Heat or the Pistons last yr.  This is just wishful thinking but it's what I'm thinking, lol.  Even with those teams, and the single elimination, it would still be difficult for an NBA team to go over there and win.

Yes! That was a great game! Their goalie was awesome! I thought that was one of the better games so far. I was definitely rooting for them. Don't know if I can hope they beat England but I do hope they keep it close.
